Navigating Diagnosis and Treatment

Dr. Nasser’s approach to diagnosing plantar fasciitis involves a thorough examination and possibly an X-ray to distinguish it from other conditions with similar symptoms. Treatment strategies he recommends range from stretching exercises aimed at the Achilles tendon to more advanced options like Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) for chronic cases. The emphasis on continuous, non-aggressive stretching and the selection of supportive footwear as preventive measures resonates throughout the discussion.
