 Treatment
 In some cases non-surgical treatment is successful, but it may take months;
Anti-inflammatory medications such as aspirin,
Advil® or others can reduce the pain.
Often prescription medications are more
effective, especially if needed for a long period of time.
Cortisone injections help to calm the
inflammation.
Prescription arch supports, called orthotics,
are the mainstay of treatment. Made from a mold of the foot, the orthotic is worn in
all of your shoes.
For
some people though, surgery is the only way to relieve the pain. A technique,
called Endoscopic Plantar Fasciotomy allows the procedure to be performed
though two tiny punctures in the heel. This technique allows for quicker recovery and a
return to normal activities within a few weeks.
