Plantar Fasciitis: How did you get rid of it?

To help prevent flares I always support arches of my feet, including getting up in the middle of the night. I use orthotics in tie shoes most days. I use SAS sandals as slippers because they have arch support. I never go barefoot. Secondly but importantly educate yourself about trigger points. I release trigger points in my calves with a small Bob and Brad massage gun when I have a flare. Usually that relieves most or all of the pain. The website "Triggerpoints.net" can be helpful.

That attention to the calfs must be what my acupuncturist did to help my PF flare once. I was at an appointment for acupuncture for unrelated issue to my foot and back pain, but since I was in such pain, he did touch therapy and within minutes the pain in my foot was almost completely gone. It was miraculous.
I do pretty well maintaining with good supportive shoes, but if I over exert my feet too much, I’ll get a flare. Daily exercise is fine and well tolerated. Standing for long periods….like 8 hours is not tolerated.
