Treatment involves regular stretching. The aim is to stretch the fascia and keep it stretched to allow it to heal to its natural length.
Specially designed heel pads provide cushioning in the shoe to protect the heel. Custom made orthoses (insoles) can also be used to decrease strain on the plantar fascia.
When the heel does not respond to simple methods of treatment, other approaches may be used such as therapeutic ultrasound, prolotherapy, shockwave therapy and dry needling.
Surgery is not used as first line treatment but may be warranted in select cases.
