Plantar fasciitis: prescribing effective treatments.
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common painful disorders experienced by people in running and jumping sports. While the prognosis for recovery with conservative care remains excellent-more than 90% of athletes ultimately respond-the prolonged duration of symptoms affects sports participation. Studies that examined various treatment options found mixed results, so finding the most effective treatment can be challenging. A logical treatment approach with emphasis on biomechanics, rehabilitation, and training adaptation will help expedite return to sport.
