[NPInfo] Plantar Fasciitis

[Dena]

If it hasn't already been tried, the PTs at work recommend rolling the foot
over a tennis ball to adequately stretch out the fascia. I wish my MD and
podiatrists had told me THAT simple and inexpensive tip the 3 times I
suffered from months of plantar fasciitis!

Hi Bev-

Plantar fasciitis is tough to get rid of. I've had several patients who
sleep at night with a cowboy boot on the affected foot. They swear by it!
But of course, they've also had injections, NSAIDs, do the exercises, etc.

Good Luck!

Anyone have any suggestions for plantar fasciitis treatment after 2 
injections and still pain.
What kind of device could assist with dorsiflexion at night? What type of 
boot is it --- is this worth trying?

Thanks.
Bev
