[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Plantar fasciitis can become an ongoing, chronic problem if not treated appropriately. Typically it is very painful with the first few steps in the morning and following rest.

Anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen, Aspirin, or Naprosyn can help to relieve the inflammation of the plantar fascia and surrounding tissues. New running shoes can improve cushioning of the heel. Gentle calf stretching can also relieve the pull of the plantar fascia.

If these conservative measures do not help, you should see your local podiatrist who may recommend orthotics, prescription strength medication or a cortisone injection.

In my Toronto Ontario podiatry office I also offer extracorporeal shockwave for people who do not want to take pills or have injections. It is a very effective sound wave treatment which does not have the side effects associated with pills, cortisone and surgery and can even help someone who has been suffering for years with heel pain due to plantar fasciitis.
