Despite being a common disorder, plantar fasciitis or fasciopathy, and its associated pain and disability remain largely unreported in our environment We present the classical sonographic features and the use of physiotherapy techniques in conservative management in a case study of a 66-year-old female patient with suspected plantar fasciitis. The common causes, risk factors, and treatment methods are highlighted in our literature. Our paper advocated the use of ultrasound as a first-line diagnostic imaging modality when plantar fasciitis is suspected, due to its affordability and availability.
