Plantar Fasciitis: Therapy [Clinical Review Discussion]
Thursday, July 08, 2010 12:28 PM
( permalink)
Some authors state plantar fasciitis (PF) is primarily a self-limiting condition that will resolve in 80% of cases within one year with or without treatment (1;2). Whether the condition is self-limiting or not, the patient is usually experiencing pain sufficient to limit activity. It is the physician’s obligation to aid in restoration of function and return to full activity as quickly as possible with whatever safe and effective treatment options are available. When treating a patient with plantar fasciitis (PF) it is important for the physician to know, even when the patients respond well, resolution is often measured in weeks or months, not days (3). It is important for patients to understand the lengthy recovery time.
The reader should note, as with other aspects of PF, there is no treatment option that has clearly demonstrated efficacy through rigorous clinical trials.
