TREATMENT OPTIONS
Treatments for plantar fasciitis can vary depending on the severity and nature of your inflammation. Sometimes, simple at-home options such as stretches, ice packs, and shoe modifications can help reduce irritation, and are often initially prescribed to reduce pain and symptoms. If the pain continues, more aggressive treatments such as night splints and casts, injections, or orthotics are employed.
The professional team at Next Step Foot & Ankle Center helps you determine the best way to alleviate plantar fasciitis, in the most conservative way as possible.
