The diagnosis and management of plantar fasciitis

Article Abstract:

Care and treatment of plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of tissue on the foot's surface, is manageable in most patients and health care providers should focus on prevention. Plantar fasciitis occurs most often in athletes and middle-aged or elderly patients. Conservative treatments involve strapping the foot to maintain arch balance and use of anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin. Proper stretching, orthopedic strengthening exercises, and appropriate footwear will help prevent recurrence.
