TREATMENT INFORMATION GUIDE:
How Do We Stop The Pain?
FIRST—Wear The Right Kind of Shoes
For people unable to stay off their feet-it’s especially important to wear the RIGHT KIND of shoes. Sneakers or walking shoes almost always work the best.
- A size which is a little ROOMY and NOT SNUG… this makes a huge difference
- Shoes must not flex in the middle. Shoes must flex behind the toes
- Good quality shoes… not worn-out
Can’t wear sneakers? There’s info about alternative footwear in the free PF Special Reports.

Cheap or WORN-OUT SNEAKERS, DECK SHOES, MOCCASINS, etc. which are highly flexible in the arch, will worsen Plantar Fasciitis. Footwear that does not flex at all, like some BOOTS, will worsen the heel problem, too. Also avoid flat-slab-type SANDALS, FLIP-FLOPS, HIGH-HEELED shoes, or shoes with HEEL STRAPS… Don’t wear WORN OUT shoes… they are not a good part of plantar fasciitis heel pain treatment or arch pain treatment.
SECOND—Get Arch Supports…be careful to get the right kind
Well-designed Arch Support inserts usually provide immediate pain relief. Ironically, many people would already be over Plantar Fasciitis except they’ve got the wrong kind of supports.
Men and women needing to be on their feet typically need Supports like this—
- Arch Support is flexible but… strong enough to hold up the body weight even when climbing stairs or walking fast
- The central portion of the heel is deeply cushioned to protect the ‘sore spot’
- This kind of high-tech support is effective because its well-designed heel and arch combination protects the plantar fascia ligament from having to painfully stretch all the way out

Avoid flabby or flimsy shoe inserts, regardless of what the packaging says. Avoid inserts that rely on gels and foams. ESPECIALLY avoid all HARD ORTHOTICS – they can actually cause Plantar Fasciitis and arch pain.
THIRD—Stop Swelling with Anti-Inflammatory Tablets and Ice
Inflammation in the heel area needs to be calmed down so bodily tissues have a chance to repair. This is especially important for those who cannot stay off their feet.
- Anti-Inflammatory tablets such as Aleve™ and Advil™ help reduce swelling. We should always consult our medical practitioners prior to taking these kinds of medications. If using these, swallow them at least 30 minutes prior to being on the feet for any prolonged periods of time
- A best-selling herbal substitute (available in health food stores) is Zyflamend™
- Use an Ice Pack to reduces pain and swelling. You can ice pack the heel daily (more often if needed) until there have been at least a couple days with zero pain. After that, it’s probably okay to stop
Click Here for the simplest way to make an ice pack
Use a small re-sealable plastic sandwich bag. Fill half full with ice. Add a little water. Hold it up to the sore areas of the heel / arch for 10 – 15 minutes. The freezing sensation will go away after the first few minutes.
Great treatment for heel pain and arch pain symptoms.
FOURTH—Gently Stretch The Calf Muscles
- The majority of us who get PF have tight calf muscles
- Calf muscles are part of the chain of muscles and connective tissues which ultimately attach themselves to the calcaneus (heel bone)
- Tight calf muscles create too much tension on the plantar fascia by pulling on the back side of the heel bone
- CAUTION: We are better off not stretching at all than over-stretching
Click Here for more kinds of stretches (it’s optional)
Mildly stretching parts of the legs, ankles, and feet (hamstrings, quadriceps, Achilles tendons, plantar fascia ligament), will help improve ‘leg mechanics’, and be generally favorable for heel spurs treatment and arch pain. The calf stretch is the main stretch. The others are optional. Stretch gently. Don’t think that the heel pain is going to be cured by only doing stretches.
So… Congratulations!
The four areas just covered:
- WEAR CORRECT SHOES
