Plantar Fasciitis specialists offer a range of treatments designed to alleviate pain and promote healing of the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue running along the bottom of the foot. Initial treatments often include conservative measures such as rest, ice application, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to reduce inflammation and pain. Specialists may also recommend stretching and strengthening exercises to improve flexibility and support the arch of the foot.

For more persistent cases, plantar fasciitis specialists may use advanced treatments like corticosteroid injections to provide temporary relief from severe inflammation. Physical therapy, including techniques such as ultrasound therapy and manual massage, can also be beneficial. Orthotic devices, such as custom-made shoe inserts, are commonly prescribed to provide additional support and correct biomechanical issues contributing to the condition. In cases where conservative treatments fail, specialists may consider extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) or, as a last resort, surgical intervention to release the plantar fascia and alleviate pain.
