How is plantar fasciitis treated?
Plantar fasciitis is treated first with simple measures and, if they are not enough, with stepped options. According to MedlinePlus, at first paracetamol or ibuprofen, physiotherapy with stretching, night splints, rest for at least a week and shoes with good support are recommended.1
If those measures do not work, a walking boot for 3 to 6 weeks, custom-made insoles, steroid injections and, sometimes, surgery may be recommended.1 The cited sources do not detail how many physiotherapy sessions are needed or whether custom-made insoles work better than off-the-shelf ones.
To prevent and relieve it, keeping the ankle, the Achilles tendon and the calf muscles flexible, stretching the plantar fascia in the morning before getting up and doing activities in moderation are also mentioned.1
Options for plantar fasciitis: what the sources say
For the options that cost money, such as custom-made insoles or the injection, the cited sources have no evidence placing them above the initial measures.
Corticosteroid injection
The Cochrane review on injected corticosteroids for heel pain (39 studies, 2492 adults) finds that the injection may slightly reduce pain for up to a month, with no difference at 1 to 6 months.3 That evidence is of low quality, and that for the other outcomes, of very low quality.3
How long does plantar fasciitis take to heal?
Plantar fasciitis takes months to improve. According to MedlinePlus, symptoms can last from several months up to 2 years, most people feel better in 6 to 18 months and surgery is very rarely needed.1
Some stages have their own timescales: the initial rest is at least a week and, if needed, the walking boot is worn for 3 to 6 weeks.1 The relief from a corticosteroid injection, when it appears, has been measured for up to a month.3 The cited sources do not describe any way of getting rid of plantar fasciitis in a few days.
What are the risks of plantar fasciitis treatments?
Every treatment for plantar fasciitis has drawbacks, and the cited sources only detail those of the injection.
- Corticosteroid injection: the studies described two ruptures of the plantar fascia (in one study) and three infections at the injection site among 699 participants, and the authors warn that adverse effects are poorly reported and a greater risk cannot be ruled out.3 Its effect on pain is small and lasts up to a month.3
- Custom-made insoles: the cited sources do not compare their result with that of off-the-shelf insoles or detail their risks.1
The cited sources also do not detail the risks of surgery, the walking boot, night splints or painkillers. Surgery is very rarely needed.1
What is plantar fasciitis and why does it occur?
Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the plantar fascia, the thick tissue on the sole of the foot that joins the heel to the toes. According to MedlinePlus, it is more likely in these cases:1
- Flat feet or a high arch.1
- Running long distances.1
- Obesity or a sudden weight gain.1
- A tight Achilles tendon.1
- Shoes with little arch support or with a soft sole.1
- Changes in activity level.1
The heel spur is not considered the cause of plantar fasciitis, because it appears on X-rays of people with and without fasciitis.1
Is plantar fasciitis the same as a calcaneal spur?
Plantar fasciitis and the calcaneal spur (heel spur) are not the same thing, and the spur is not considered the cause of plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the thick tissue on the sole of the foot that joins the heel to the toes.1 MedlinePlus includes bone spurs in the heel and plantar fasciitis among the possible causes of heel pain.4
For a long time it was thought that plantar fasciitis was caused by a heel spur, but research has determined that this is not so, because X-rays show spurs in people with and without plantar fasciitis.1
If you are worried that you will need surgery, in plantar fasciitis surgery is very rarely needed.1 The cited sources do not detail the symptoms, causes or treatment of the spur, or its surgery, so there is no evidence here in favour of any paid option for the spur.
What are the symptoms of plantar fasciitis and how is it diagnosed?
The most common symptom of plantar fasciitis is pain and stiffness in the bottom of the heel. According to MedlinePlus, it usually gets worse with the first steps in the morning, after standing or sitting for a while, when climbing stairs and after intense activity.1 The NHS places the pain between the arch and the heel, and describes it as getting worse when you start walking and improving with rest.2
It is diagnosed by examination: the professional looks for pain in the bottom of the foot, flat feet or high arches and stiffness of the Achilles tendon, and may request X-rays to check for other problems.1
Not all heel pain is plantar fasciitis. A sudden pain with swelling and a snap after an injury may be a fracture of the heel or a rupture of the Achilles tendon, and the NHS asks you not to diagnose yourself.2
When should you see a doctor or a podiatrist about heel pain?
See a doctor or a podiatrist about heel pain if it does not improve after a few weeks of home care, if it gets worse or if it is sudden and severe.
Urgent care
The NHS says to seek urgent care, because these may be signs of a fracture, if there is:2
- Severe heel pain after an injury.2
- Inability to walk, either on tiptoe or up stairs.2
- A change in the shape of the foot or ankle, or the foot at an odd angle.2
- A snap or crack when the injury happened.2
- Pain that causes dizziness or nausea.2
- Swelling and bruising on the calf and ankle.2
Non-urgent consultation
The NHS advises seeing a doctor in these cases:2
Options compared
| Option | What the sources say | Risks or drawbacks |
|---|---|---|
| Initial measures: painkillers, stretching, night splints, rest and shoes with good support | These are the first measures recommended by MedlinePlus. | The cited sources do not detail their risks. If the pain does not improve after 2 weeks of home care, the NHS advises seeing a doctor. |
| Walking boot and custom-made insoles | MedlinePlus suggests them if the initial measures do not work; the walking boot is worn for 3 to 6 weeks. | The cited sources do not compare custom-made insoles with off-the-shelf ones or detail their risks, so there is no evidence here in favour of the paid option. |
| Corticosteroid injection | It may slightly reduce pain for up to a month, with no difference at 1 to 6 months (low-quality evidence). | Ruptures of the plantar fascia and infections at the injection site have been described, and a greater risk cannot be ruled out. |
| Surgery | It is sometimes recommended if the above does not work, and it is very rarely needed. | The cited sources do not detail its risks. |
