Introduction
Dorsal foot fasciitis generally does not resolve spontaneously. If the condition is mild and presents only as slight pain, symptoms can usually be relieved through appropriate massage and foot soaking to promote metabolism. For cases with significant pain, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or local steroid injections may be used as directed by a physician to alleviate symptoms. If persistent pain fails to respond to conservative treatments, surgical intervention may be considered.

Dorsal foot fasciitis generally does not resolve spontaneously. Depending on the severity of the condition, improvement can be achieved through conservative management, medication, or surgical treatment.

1. Conservative Treatment

If the condition is not particularly severe and only presents with mild pain, symptoms can usually be relieved by appropriate massage combined with foot soaking to promote local blood circulation and accelerate metabolism.

2. Medication

For moderate dorsal foot fasciitis with significant and intolerable pain, it's important to rest and avoid strenuous foot activities to prevent worsening symptoms. Under a doctor’s guidance, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be used to reduce pain and inflammation. If the above methods are ineffective, local corticosteroid injections may be considered to alleviate symptoms.

3. Surgical Treatment

In severe cases with persistent, intractable pain that fails to improve with conservative therapy, surgery may be recommended under medical supervision, such as endoscopic minimally invasive surgery or fascial release procedures.

After the onset of dorsal foot fasciitis, patients are advised to actively seek clinical treatment under a doctor's guidance to improve symptoms and promote recovery.
