Treatments for Plantar Heel Pain A Literature Review
Tracking # 20-1170130
Course overview
Plantar heel pain (PHP) is generally considered a self-limiting condition for most individuals. However up to 20 percent of individuals continue to experience PHP for more than a year. Because the aetiology of PHP is still not well understood there is uncertainty about how to manage this condition effectively. Various interventions have been proposed for PHP but they lack the support of high-quality evidence. Clinicians are therefore left with a variety of treatment options but no clear guidance on the optimal management of plantar heel pain syndrome (PHPS). This course is the final literature review in the series on PHPS and it discusses the evidence for various PHPS treatments.
