Plantar Fasciitis Conventional Treatments

Plantar Fasciitis Conventional Treatments

Plantar Fasciitis is a repetitive stress injury to the plantar fascia—a protective tissue within the foot. 

About 1 in 10 people worldwide will develop Plantar Fasciitis at some point in their lives. Traditionally, Plantar Fasciitis has been treated with orthotic devices, medication, and even surgery. However, it's important to note that there are a number of all-natural treatment options that you can do at home that can stop the pain and cure Plantar Fasciitis.

Most doctors will suggest using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs to manage the pain symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis. Common drugs of this class include aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen. In some severe cases, stronger painkillers such as hydrocodone may be prescribed.

The problem with anti-inflammatories and painkillers is that they only address the symptoms of the condition and not the root cause. For many people, it becomes necessary to take more and more of the drugs as their bodies become less sensitive to their effects over time.

Corticosteroids and botulinum toxin Type A are two treatments that doctors commonly use to reduce inflammation and relieve the swelling and pain. These treatments can be expensive and must be administered in a medical facility.

Orthotic devices are another conventional treatment option for Plantar Fasciitis. These include shoe inserts and splints that can relieve stress and help stretch the plantar fascia tissue. You can buy some orthotic devices online, however, many doctors will prescribe custom designed orthotic devices that are designed to fit to your foot and/or leg.

These devices can be helpful if you have abnormally shaped feet or very severe damage to your plantar fascia. However, it's important to note that these devices can be prohibitively expensive, and are not guaranteed to work.

In some cases, surgery may be a solution to Plantar Fasciitis. This involves severing a part of the plantar fascia tissue in order to relieve tension and reduce inflammation. The surgery is carried out with local anesthetic and is performed with tiny incisions in the foot. The surgeon might detach the plantar fascia from the heel bone or make additional incisions to try to relieve pressure.

The problem with surgery is that it is expensive and it can take a long time to heal. This is a difficult option for individuals with professions that require them to be on their feet throughout the day.

Conventional treatments for Plantar Fasciitis can be effective, however, you should know that there are treatment options that you can perform at home that do not require dangerous medications or expensive visits to the doctor.
