[QUOTE=kschwi;2457673]I've had plantar fasciitis since February and have done PT (stretching and some strengthening) and inserts but my progress has reached a plateau. My insurance network is up north so went back there and my doctor is recommending PRP injections which are not covered by insurance and run $1000. While I have heard they are effective, it would be nice if they weren't so expensive. Has anyone had them in TV and if so what did they charge you?

Anyone try anything else that worked?[/

Look up “Morton’s toe” it contributes to planter fasciitis if your second toe is longer than big toe , weight distribution . If you can find a chiropractor that does “Graston Technique “ it addresses not only the foot but the calf as well which is part of the issue . You can buy the rod on line and do it yourself but it smarts to break up the muscle knots on the side of the calf . A Theracane works great too - trigger points ! All info online .
I wear Vionic shoes ( mostly their flip flops ALL the time ) they help tremendously.
