Brief summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of local corticosteroid injection on pain, foot function index, and plantar fascia thickness in patients clinically diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, and to determine whether local corticosteroid injection is an appropriate treatment option for plantar fasciitis. For this purpose, the study plans to assess plantar fascia thickness using ultrasonography, evaluate pain using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and investigate the impact on daily living activities in patients who have been clinically diagnosed with plantar fasciitis and treated with local corticosteroid injections.

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Foot functions	Foot functions will be assessed immediately after injection and 1 month after injection with the foot function index.	Foot functions will be assessed immediately after injection and 1 month after injection with the foot function index.
