There are some other techniques
that you can use in order to help reduce heel pain and plantar fasciitis
symptoms. Other heel pain treatment/ plantar fasciitis treatment techniques
include wearing proper footwear for both everyday and sporting activities,
the use of insoles that support the arch and reduce tension on the ligament,
using heel cushions or slight heel lifts, correcting leg length discrepancy
with an adjustable heel lift, giving the afflicted area an ice massage,
stretching calf muscle to reduce tightness and maintaining length of
the tight calf muscle with the use of a night splint.
In severe and chronic cases,
heel spurs may require surgical correction. If heel pain is chronic
and persists, see a podiatrist for specific heel pain treatment.
