   Palliative treatments consist of stretching, analgesics, and padding (e.g. cushioned foot wear for plantar fasciitis), splints (e.g. tennis elbow strap), and other treatments.

   The plantar fascia extends from the heel bone to the toes, and helps support the arch of the foot. [22] Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain and affects about two million people in the United States. Though once considered an inflammatory condition, plantar fasciitis is now characterized as a degenerative pathology.

   Failure most often occurred at the proximal attachment to the calcaneus, which is consistent with the usual location of symptoms (i.e. in plantar fasciitis). Complete rupture or surgical release of the plantar fascia leads to a decrease in arch stiffness and a significant collapse of the longitudinal arch of the foot.

   Foot injuries including plantar fasciitis is another source of pain which is associated with-standing for long periods. [1] [6] There are three major tendons that maintain stability at the ankle joint; anterior extensors, medial flexors and lateral peroneal, these tendons facilitate movement around the ankle, foot and toes.

   A plantar fascial rupture, is a painful tear in the plantar fascia. The plantar fascia is a connective tissue that spans across the bottom of the foot. [1] The condition plantar fasciitis may increase the likelihood of rupture. [2] A plantar fascial rupture may be mistaken for plantar fasciitis or even a calcaneal fracture.
