The majority of plantar fasciitis treatments yield mixed effects, according to large review studies. In randomized controlled trials, stretching, off-the-shelf shoe inserts, night splints, and corticosteroid injections all showed substantial benefits. However, the advantages of these treatments aren’t particularly appealing. Long-term follow-up usually reveals a minimal long-term effect. Much of the research has problems as well, muddying the waters and increasing the risk of bias.
A recent study in Denmark indicated that employing a high-load strength training strategy resulted in considerable improvement. Starting with the heel below the toes, perform a weighted heel rise. The theory proposes that loading the plantar fascia in a safe and effective manner improves tissue healing. It also stimulates the sensory system, which is thought to be beneficial in the treatment of pain. Finally, strength training results in a physique that is more efficient and capable. Custom orthotics rather than OTC orthotics might help in alignment while strengthening your feet.
