Key Supplements

  • Curcumin 1000-2000mg 3x/day (anti-inflammatory)
  • Omega-3 4-6g/day (reduces inflammation)
  • Boswellia 500mg 3x/day (anti-inflammatory, reduces pain)
  • Bromelain 500mg 3x/day between meals (anti-inflammatory enzyme)
  • MSM 2-4g/day (reduces pain, supports connective tissue)
  • Vitamin C 2000mg/day (collagen synthesis, tissue repair)

Key Lab Markers

  • X-ray foot (rules out stress fracture, shows heel spur in 50%—but spur doesn't cause pain, many people with spurs have no symptoms, many with plantar fasciitis have no spur)
  • Ultrasound (shows plantar fascia thickening >4mm diagnostic, can measure thickness to track healing)
  • MRI (if diagnosis uncertain—shows fascia inflammation, partial tear, rules out other causes—tarsal tunnel, nerve entrapment, stress fracture)
  • Vitamin D
