Watch Dr Moore administer a cortisone injection on one of his patients in the office. Although the best treatment is rest, this type of local treatment can help with both the pain and limit the use of oral anti-inflammatories. Arch supports and stretching are also useful for both short and long term treatment. Surgery is an option, but usually when all conservative care has been exhausted.
Plantar fasciitis is a very common foot problem. The long ligament runs the entire length of the bottom of the foot from the ball area to the heel bone (calcaneus).

And that connection (enthesis) is the most common area for the patient's weight and unfortunately the worst pain.
