Frequently Asked Questions
How long does plantar fasciitis take to heal? ▼
Most cases resolve within 6–18 months with consistent conservative treatment. Early intervention leads to faster recovery — patients who see a podiatrist within the first month typically recover 40% faster than those who wait.
Does insurance cover plantar fasciitis treatment? ▼
Yes. Most major insurance plans cover physical therapy, custom orthotics, and corticosteroid injections when medically necessary. Medicare covers podiatry visits and orthotics. Advanced treatments like PRP are typically out-of-pocket.
