Treatment for Heel Pain

Within months, the majority of patients recover with conservative therapies. There are several treatment options available, including:

• If NSAIDs aren't working, corticosteroid injections may help, but they should be used with caution because long-term usage can have negative consequences.
• Physical therapy can offer exercises to relax the plantar tissue and Achilles tendon while also strengthening the calf muscle muscles, resulting in improved ankle and heel stability.
• NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines) can help with pain and swelling.
