How to Treat Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is related to long-term walking, external forces affecting the plantar muscles, and local muscle strain. If treated with the correct method, the prognosis is generally good, but if the treatment time is delayed, it will affect normal movement and walking. If there is no correct care after treatment, there is also the possibility of recurrence, so special attention should be paid to all aspects. Let's take a look at how to treat plantar fasciitis.

1. Drug treatment method:

Plantar fasciitis can be treated with local blockade, such as procaine and prednisolone acetate, which have a good improvement effect. Non-steroidal analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs can also be used to reduce local inflammation and relieve pain symptoms. Antispasmodic drugs can also be used to tense local muscles and relieve pain symptoms.

2. Surgical treatment:

If long-term treatment cannot cure plantar fasciitis, surgical treatment can be considered, such as micro-needle knife treatment under ultrasound guidance, radiofrequency treatment, etc. It can relax the muscle fascia and improve the uncomfortable symptoms. Open surgery can also be used to remove the diseased tissue, but a comprehensive examination should be done before the operation to understand the surgical indications. Only the correct treatment method can have a good improvement effect.

3. Physical therapy:

Functional orthopedic insoles can also be used to improve plantar fasciitis, which can be used during exercise and walking. It is made according to the physiological curvature of the arch and the shape of the foot, which can evenly distribute the pressure during exercise and walking, thereby reducing the tension of the plantar fascia and relaxing the plantar muscles. It can also make the inflammation dissipate and absorb faster, thereby alleviating the symptoms of foot pain and restoring normal function.

The treatment of plantar fasciitis is as follows. The right treatment can relieve the uncomfortable symptoms. If the disease continues to progress, it will affect the quality of life. If timely intervention and treatment are given, the disease can be controlled and slowly recovered. If left untreated for a long time, it will affect normal activities. Pain symptoms will persist for a long time and will also affect psychological stability and make emotions more irritable.
