Plantar Fasciitis and Bone Spurs

What is the treatment for Plantar Fasciitis and Bone Spurs?

The most common treatment measures used to cure Plantar Fasciitis and Bone Spurs are:

• Rest: Stopping or even decreasing the activity that triggers the pain is the first step in treating Plantar Fasciitis and Bone Spurs.
• Ice: Icing the affected foot several times a day is effective. The best way of doing this is by rolling the foot over a cold water bottle or using ice bags.
• Medication: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines help reduce the inflammation and the pain caused by the condition.
• Physical Therapy: The condition is often aggravated by tight muscles in the feet and calves. Simple stretching exercise of the calves and plantar fascia can be effective in relieving the pain.
• Cortisone Injections: Cortisone is a powerful anti-inflammatory medication. It is used to cure the condition by injecting it into the plantar fascia to reduce inflammation and pain.
• Supportive Shoes and Orthotics: The aim of the treatment strategies must be to relieve the pain. Shoes with thick soles and extra cushioning provide support and reduce the stress exerted on the arch while standing, in turn, reducing the pain.
• Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT): This is a procedure that uses high-energy shockwave impulses to stimulate the healing process in damaged plantar fascia tissue.
• Surgery: When the non-surgical treatments don’t show satisfactory results, doctors may perform surgery to decompress the nerve and soothe the pain.
