Home. There is no set time frame for how long plantar fasciitis typically lasts, says Dr. Valencia. “Most people coming to my office have had it for at least a few weeks, but some are more chronic with months and years of pain. I’m going to assume others only have pain for a few days and don’t seek treatment or research it on the internet.” A common misconception is that all foot pain is plantar fasciitis. “I also wish people realized that there is chronic and acute heel pain and the treatment varies significantly,” says Dr. Valencia. If you’re suffering from foot pain for more than two weeks, it’s a good idea to see a healthcare provider who can help you pinpoint the cause and develop a specific treatment plan just for you.
