How to quickly treat plantar fasciitis?

There is really no way to quickly treat plantar fasciitis because the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue, needs time to heal. However, you can do some simple things to help manage the pain and to encourage healing. They include wearing shoes with good arch support, icing the painful foot area several times a day, and doing arch stretching exercises, like running the foot back and forth over a tennis ball or frozen water bottle.
