This report aims to review the different treatment options for plantar fasciitis. We conducted a virtual survey of foot and ankle specialists in our country where we asked for their opinion on the treatment of plantar fasciitis. The results varied, which shows that there is no single response to chronic treatment. Conclusion: Plantar fasciitis is a frequent, painful condition. The origin is unknown, but the association with multiple factors is known. Many treatment modalities have been recommended, including drugs, physiotherapy, orthotic devices, and surgery, but no report analyzes the effectiveness of each of them separately or categorically confirms its benefits.

Palabras clave : Plantar fasciitis; fasciotomy; gastrocnemius resection; plantar orthosis.
