I’ve battled plantar fasciitis several times over the years. I’ve done all the conventional treatments-orthotics, tennis ball exercises, ice can therapy, ice, stretching, etc. Each time, it seemed I had a worse case of it. Last time, I even tried acupuncture I was so desperate, didn't help. However, a friend told me about Graston Technique. Orthos, chiros and PTs use this technique. It’s a small metal boomerang shaped tool that they rake over scar tissue. They used this on my foot, and it hurts like hell, but it got rid of the PF. I had several sessions. I’d highly recommend it if you can’t get rid of it. Haven't had PF in over 6 years.
