Women’s Running Magazine recently published an article covering 14 ways to help manage plantar fasciitis. I would like to add one more to the list. So take a look at the 15 Things To Do To Help Manage Plantar Fasciitis.
- Go to a sports podiatrist, as soon as possible.
- Research cortisone shots; they may be recommended.
- Tape up your feet.
- If your doctor tells you to stay off it, follow their instructions.
- Go to physical therapy as soon as possible.
- Talk to your doctor about the possibility of orthotics.
- Investigate your running shoes.
- Try dry needling with a licensed acupuncturist.
- Wear the Strassburg Sock at night (every night).
- ICE.
- Consider taking foods our of your diet that cause inflammation.
- DO NOT walk around barefoot.
- Invest in a regular massage and have the therapist focus on your legs and calves.

… and number 15 is: LASER THERAPY. Why? Lasers provide pain relief, inflammation reduction and tissue repair. Just the ticket for plantar fasciitis and many other conditions.
