Treatment Options

01

Stretching & Orthotics

Plantar fascia and gastrocnemius stretching + custom foot orthotic — first-line, resolves 70% of cases within 3 months.

02

Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)

High-energy ESWT stimulates fascia healing — 3 sessions achieve >80% significant improvement in chronic cases.

03

PRP Injection

Ultrasound-guided PRP into the fascia origin — superior to cortisone for long-term outcomes; avoids fat pad atrophy.

Partial fascia release for refractory cases — keyhole procedure, minimal downtime, return to activity in 3–4 weeks.
