I had planter facia treatment at a physiotherapist but 5 - 10% pain is still there , its intensity varies and not constant. I am doing prescribed exercises regularly. How is it possible to nullyfy entire pain. Does this is takes some months?
Ans: Dear Mr. Vivek. Thank you for your query . It’s common for pain from plantar fasciitis to persist even after undergoing treatment, especially if it varies in intensity. While you’re already doing the prescribed exercises regularly, it’s important to remember that complete resolution of pain can sometimes take several months. Continued adherence to your physiotherapist’s exercise regimen is crucial, as consistency plays a key role in managing and reducing pain. If you haven’t already, scheduling follow-up appointments with your physiotherapist to assess your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed can be very beneficial. Additionally, ask if other treatments, such as orthotics, additional stretches, or different modalities like Ultra Sound might be helpful. Managing pain through techniques such as ice application, wearing proper footwear, and avoiding activities that exacerbate the pain can also provide relief. Patience and time are essential, as healing from plantar fasciitis often requires a gradual process. If the pain continues or worsens, or if you have concerns about your progress, seeking further evaluation from your orthopedic surgeon may offer additional insights and tailored solutions. Wishing you quick recovery
