quote:Broke my ankle in med school. Never regained full ROM. On my feet a lot, so I struggled with plantar fasciitis in that foot for years. Tried running shoes, arch support, orthotics, stretching, massage, ice bottle rolling, etc. No avail. Finally threw on some croc's --- no more pain after a week. No idea as to why croc's worked. Virtually no arch support. Several years and 3-4 sets of croc's later, no return of pain. It's an amazing difference.
1. Running shoes.
2. Arch support.
3. Stretching.
4. Ice.
5. Anti-inflammatory.

I cured mine similarly. After trying a non-prescription arch support, lacrosse ball, etc., I switched to minimalist shoes - no support whatsoever. My feet have been free of plantar fasciitis ever since. I think modern shoes don't allow the foot to function as it was designed to function. The foot needs freedom, not support.
