Plantar Fasciitis Timeframe-Healing Expectations
October 16, 2008 by: ToddieMOne of the first things I tell my patients who come to see me regarding plantar fasciitis is that it’s going to take some time.
Plantar fasciitis, especially when it gets to the point of forming a heel spur, is a long developing process. The spur you are seeing is literally the bone being pulled away by the tight fascia. As you can imagine, this is not an overnight process.
I am setting up my patients on the expectation that this will take a while to heal. And by “heal” I mean relief of symptoms to the point where they feel about 85-90% better than when they first came in.
I don’t want patients to have the false expectation that Dr Schafer has a little magic pill to make heel pain go away overnite.
It doesn’t happen that way.
Anything that takes a long time to develop, stands to reason will take a substantial period to heal. The good news is that heel pain is treatable 85% of the time without surgery.
Patients hear this, and it makes the timeframe seem not so bad.

Personally I would put a lovely bench so all the squirrels could use it and maybe add a mini bar and a Jacuzzi at a later date just for the wildlife though!
