How it works
Corticosteroids suppress local inflammatory mediators (prostaglandins, cytokines) at the injection site, rapidly reducing pain and swelling.
Short-term benefit only — effects often wear off within 3 months. Risk of plantar fascia rupture with repeated injections. Should not be the first treatment tried. Requires medical administration.
Medical guidance
This remedy requires a prescription or pharmacist consultation in Australia. Speak to your GP or pharmacist before use.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
