Actualización en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de la Fascitis plantar.

Abstract

Plantar fasciitis is a very common pathology. Over time, some aspects of this entity have generated controversy, so our objective is to group the latest available scientific evidence. Plantar fasciitis has its origin in a degenerative process resulting from repetitive microtrauma. In addition, multiple risk factors are involved that contribute to its overload the fascia and its collagen degeneration. Its diagnosis is clinical, reserving the performance of complementary tests to perform differential diagnosis with other entities, which may originate in the plantar fascia or adjacent structures, paying special attention to nerve entrapments. There are numerous treatments that have proven effectiveness, obtaining better results by individualizing each patient and with a combination of treatments.
