Abstract

Besides this, plantar fasciopathy is also commonly seen in highly physically active people; plantar fasciopathy accounts for 8-10 % of all running related injuries [4]. A clinical practice guideline from the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons recommends anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), stretching and prefabricated orthotics as the initial steps in the conservative treatment of plantar heel pain and prescription orthotic devices as a secondary treatment option [6].
