Does plantar fasciitis get better if not treated?

Mr. Mushtar, if you don't treat plantar fasciitis, will it go away by itself? Eventually it does. It usually burns itself out in about two years time. However, you can speed this process up by undergoing physiotherapy and specialized stretching exercises that we can teach you and local massage. Occasionally you need a steroid injection or a new device called shockwave therapy And very rarely you need surgery.
