While some people try to live with plantar fasciitis heel pain, ignoring the issue can lead to chronic pain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c1\">Thankfully, many different treatments effectively address plantar fasciitis. Severe cases can be treated with steroid injections or surgery. However, plantar fasciitis treatment often involves a combination of different methods as there is no one-size-fits-all cure for this foot condition.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h.d7chqeus2wjp\" class=\"c6 c9\"><span class=\"c7\">Conservative Treatments for Plantar Fasciitis<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c5\"><a class=\"c8\" href=\"https:\/\/adelaidefootandankle.com.au\/heel-pain-causes-remedies-treatments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Heel pain<\/a><\/span><span class=\"c1\">\u00a0is one of the most common foot problems we see at Adelaide Foot and Ankle. The most common cause of heel pain is plantar fasciitis. This type of heel pain can make it hard to walk, especially in the morning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c0\">To ease\u00a0heel pain<span class=\"c1\">, the main solution is to provide foot and arch support. Avoid going barefoot and ditch flip-flops or thin slippers. If necessary, your podiatrist will recommend special boots to wear at night.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h.t4v3orv1p9ua\" class=\"c0 c6\"><span class=\"c2\">Arch Support<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"c0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/GEr6DKvdC7hFcqXm8CXb3HOV7dR0vizwy0NEpDH5p3thcqlOAg2_WOmg7llo8xt5svoVzzOrTESE3TICsw8H-ylASPyVpqKP5J6KpInszS6RNaAPR6Hsyz8apkhwl2M0Wnrh3uCrl88a0FJAcm6Xhvk\" alt=\"custom orthotics shoes for plantar fasciitis\" width=\"647\" height=\"647\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"c0\">Wearing over-the-counter arch supports,\u00a0<span class=\"c5\"><a class=\"c8\" href=\"https:\/\/adelaidefootandankle.com.au\/best-running-shoes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">supportive athletic shoes<\/a><\/span>, or shoes with a slightly higher heel can help take pressure off the injured ligament and reduce pain.

Wearing supportive shoes, cushioning, and a firm heel can help ease plantar fasciitis pain. Custom orthotics or shoe inserts from a podiatrist can provide extra support and help reduce strain on the plantar fascia, which can promote healing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h.sb6ixrs2bic3\" class=\"c0 c6\"><span class=\"c2\">Are heel spurs the same thing as plantar fasciitis?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"c0\">No.\u00a0<span class=\"c5\"><a class=\"c8\" href=\"https:\/\/adelaidefootandankle.com.au\/heel-spur-causes-symptoms-treatment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Heel spurs<\/a><\/span><span class=\"c1\">\u00a0are bony deposits that form on the heel bone. They can grow bigger and start to press on the plantar fascia, which can lead to plantar fasciitis. But they are not the same thing as plantar fasciitis.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h.o5w6826pw2dd\" class=\"c0 c6\"><span class=\"c2\">Should I walk on my foot with plantar fasciitis?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c1\">Walking can make your plantar fasciitis worse, which means your treatment will take longer. Whilst walking itself doesn&#8217;t necessarily inflame the ligament, wearing the wrong shoes or doing too much too soon can trigger a plantar fasciitis flare-up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8874054540367382\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8874054540367382\" data-ad-slot=\"3762650141\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Initially, podiatrists treat plantar fasciitis with conservative treatments such as rest, anti-inflammatory medication, arch supports and night splints.
