These sources primarily discuss plantar fasciitis, defining related terms like orthotics and pedorthics, and providing a comprehensive clinical practice guideline for its management. The guideline outlines evidence-based interventions, ranging from manual therapy and stretching to taping and therapeutic exercise. It also addresses the use of various physical agents, such as low-level laser therapy and iontophoresis, and examines the role of foot orthoses and dry needling in treatment. The sources critically assess the effectiveness of these approaches, often based on the findings of systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials.
