How long does plantar fasciitis last without treatment?
Plantar fasciitis resolves in most patients within 6–18 months with conservative treatment. Only about 5–10% of cases require surgery. Consistent stretching of the calf and plantar fascia, supportive footwear, and addressing training load are the most effective conservative measures. Don't push through significant pain — it prolongs recovery.
