People with plantar fasciitis often worry about long-term effects like decreased mobility and chronic foot pain. That’s why new treatments for plantar fasciitis have been developed and these include platelet rich plasma injections as well as extracorporeal shockwave therapy. The purpose of these treatments are to not only reduce pain and symptoms, but to potentially fix the problem and prevent plantar fasciitis from getting worse. But which of these two treatments is better?

Achilles tendon tears are devastating injuries that lead to significant pain and disability. Previously, most people ended up with surgery but over the last few years, many studies have come out suggesting that a lot of people can actually do very well with non operative management. And if these people can be treated nonsurgically, can we then use platelet rich plasma to improve the healing process and augment healing? That’s what this randomized controlled trial tried to ans

What if I told you that doing just two very easy exercises will help treat your plantar fasciitis? A recent randomized controlled trial compared a simple daily stretching regimen, again just 2 exercises, to 6 weeks of in-office physical therapy and found that the home stretching routine was just as good at minimizing pain, improving function, and restoring quality of life. I’m going to show you what these two exercises are and how you can use them to treat plantar fasciitis.

The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue that supports the foot. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of foot pain.
