Summary

A randomized controlled study to search for the efficiency of tibial nerve block vs local corticosteroid injection of the plantar fascia.

Detailed description

Three groups will be formed. After ESWT therapy, if the patients still suffer from pain (\> 5 points, visual analog scale(0-10points), participants will be included in the study. One group will receive conversational therapy. Second group will be treated with local corticosteroid injection. And third group will be treated with tibial nerve block. Before-treatment, after one week, after six weeks and after 3 months evaluation of the patients will be performed.

Conditions
