Summary
Although no single treatment has shown superiority, short-term pain relief may be offered via
a targeted local corticosteroid injection (CSI), used often in combination with local
anesthetic (LA), which may reduce plantar fasciitis symptoms for up to 1 month. Moreover,
administering a CSI is relatively quick and easy for any Provider to perform, though it is
not without potential deleterious side effects and risks, including fibroblast degradation,
fat pad atrophy, skin depigmentation, and even plantar fascia rupture.
