“Will plantar fasciitis go away on its own?”
I have plantar fasciitis and want to fix it. Will plantar fasciitis go away on its own?

It typically gets worse if you ignore it. If you want it to go away then you have to treat it. I would start by going online and looking up stretches to do for plantar fasciitis, and do them. Spend 15-30 minutes a day stretching. Avoid running, jogging and long walks for a few weeks to allow the injured plantar fascia to heal.
Eventually, but it may take a very long time
I have seen Plantar fasciitis resolve on its own. Usually it requires treatment. It rarely requires surgery.
Hello. Most of the time plantar fasciitis does resolve on its own. Initial treatment is routine stretching of the hamstrings and gastrocnemius muscles several times daily. Appropriate well cushioned shoes and maybe a gel heel cup. Sometimes massaging the fascia with tennis ball, ridged coke bottle or something similar will help. Patience is necessary as it may take time. Also don’t forget to try and figure out cause (poor shoes, running, jumping while tight, climbing, over weight etc) and try to alter these. Good luck
That is too wide of a question for me to answer sometimes plantar fascial will go away but usually, it needs some type of treatment. Please check with your primary care doctor or a foot and ankle surgeon for the evaluation and the appropriate treatment.
With a good orthotic it will often respond.
Usually no. I have seen patients who have had it for over 1 year. Calf stretching usually helps.
New onset plantar fasciitis may improve with simple rest, ice, elevation for a few days followed by use of good conservative sneakers such as New Balance sneakers. However, if this problem persists more than a few days I'd recommend seeing a podiatrist to further diagnose and treat the condition.
It can but not usually
With the appropriate orthotics, stretching, and icing exercises, along with anti-inflammatory medication, you can sometimes get plantar fasciitis to go away without seeking medical attention. However, the longer you've had the problem, the more difficult it is to get rid of. It is an easy pathology to treat, however. So if it is present more than 2-3 months, you should seek the attention of a medical professional
It can resolve spontaneously, but that is not too common. Consult with a Board Certified Podiatric Surgeon who is Board Certified by the American Board of Foot & Ankle Surgeons.
Plantar fasciitis can improve on its own if the bio mechanical imbalance can be addressed. I recommend you make an appointment with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for evaluation and treatment options
