Plantar Fasciitis Care
Overview
Plantar fasciitis often starts as heel pain with the first steps in the morning. Many patients begin with stretching, footwear changes, and physical therapy; for selected chronic inflammatory pain, the doctor may consider a TAME procedure. Heel pain is not always plantar fasciitis, so the cause is assessed first.

Can plantar fasciitis go away on its own?
Some cases improve with load adjustment and stretching, but persistent or recurrent pain should be assessed.
Does everyone need injections or procedures?
No. Treatment depends on severity, duration, and what has already been tried.
Can I keep exercising?
It depends on pain level and activity type. Temporary load modification may be needed to avoid repeated irritation.
