How To Treat Plantar Fasciitis

Pain Relief Medication

Pain relief medication is one such way of treating the symptoms yourself. Depending on symptom severity, these can be light over-the-counter medications or prescription painkillers. Anti-inflammatory medications, such as naproxen sodium and ibuprofen, are also commonly utilized for quick and easy relief from pain and the underlying inflammation in the feet. It's important to note, though, these medications are not meant for prolonged use, as they have detrimental side effects, such as heartburn, digestive issues, and nausea. More severe side effects include hypertension, liver and kidney damage, as well as allergic reactions.
