The purpose of these revised clinical practice guidelines is to review recent peer-reviewed literature and make recommendations related to nonarthritic heel pain.  \nSummary of Recommendations INTERVENTIONS – MANUAL THERAPY  \nA  \nClinicians should use manual therapy directed at the joints and soft tissue structures of the lower extremity to address relevant joint and flexibility restrictions, decrease pain, and improve function in individuals with plantar heel pain/plantar fasciitis.  \nINTERVENTIONS – STRETCHING  \nA  \nClinicians should use plantar fascia-specific and gastrocnemius/soleus stretching to provide short-term and long-term pain reduction as well as to improve short and long-term function and disability.  \nINTERVENTIONS – TAPING  \nA  \nClinicians should use foot taping techniques, either rigid or elastic, in conjunction with other physical therapy treatments for short-term (one to ≤ six weeks) improvements in pain and function in individuals with plantar fasciitis.  \nINTERVENTIONS – FOOT ORTHOSES  \nB  \nClinicians should not use orthoses, either prefabricated or custom fabricated/fitted, as an isolated treatment for short-term pain relief in individuals with plantar fasciitis.  \nC  \nClinicians may use orthoses, either prefabricated or custom fabricated/fitted, when combined with other treatments in individuals with heel pain/plantar fasciitis to reduce pain and improve function.  \nINTERVENTIONS – NIGHT SPLINTS  \nA  \nClinicians should prescribe a 1-to 3-month program of night splints for individuals with heel pain/plantar fasciitis who consistently have pain with the first step in the morning.  \nINTERVENTIONS – PHYSICAL AGENTS – ELECTROTHERAPY  \nD  \nClinicians should use manual therapy, stretching, and foot orthoses instead of electrotherapeutic modalities to promote intermediate and long-term (1–6 months) improvements in clinical outcomes for individuals with heel pain/plantar fasciitis. Clinicians may use iontophoresis or pre-modulated interferential current electrical stimulation as a second line of treatment.  \nINTERVENTIONS – PHYSICAL AGENTS – LOW-LEVEL LASER THERAPY  \nB  \nClinicians should use LLLT as part of a rehabilitation program in","cbCailJ1AonNl57Z","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailJ1AonNl57Z","pdf",676025,49,"English","# Summary of Recommendations\n## Interventions\n## Classification and Risk Factors\n## Diagnosis and Differential Diagnosis\n## Examination and Physical Impairments\n## Activity Limitation and Performance Measures\n## Decision Tree\n## References\n## Appendices (Online)","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the 2023 plantar fasciitis clinical practice guideline revision?\",\"answer\":\"To review recent peer-reviewed literature and make recommendations related to nonarthritic heel pain for orthopaedic physical therapy management.\"},{\"question\":\"Which intervention is recommended for short- and long-term pain reduction in plantar fasciitis?\",\"answer\":\"Plantar fascia-specific and gastrocnemius/soleus stretching is recommended to provide short-term and long-term pain reduction and improve function and disability.\"},{\"question\":\"How should clinicians use orthoses for plantar fasciitis according to the recommendations?\",\"answer\":\"Orthoses should not be used as an isolated treatment for short-term pain relief.
