What Is Plantar Fasciitis? Part III of III


By now you are probably thinking, how can I get rid of plantar fasciitis? It is not realistic to stay off your feet at all times. You are recommended to see a qualified physician.

Every time your foot hits the ground, the plantar fasciitis is stretched. You can decrease this pressure by losing body weight, wearing shoes and slippers that support your arch. Some physicians recommend medicine, taping of the foot, and orthotics. Orthotics are prescription inserts that fit into your shoe. Orthotics tend to support and help control the foot and ankle region. If you have any questions please contact me.

  1. Putting ice packs on the bottom of the feet helped me a lot and not going barefoot anymore. Thanks for all the great information Dr. Bob.
