Introduction: Plantar fasciitis (PF) is a common pathological condition affecting the hind foot and was first described by Wood in 1812, he attributed it to tuberculosis. By definition PF is an inflammation of the plantar fascia.Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of 820 nm Ga-Al-As diode laser in the treatment of plantar fasciitis & to establish the status of diode laser as a popular modality for the treatment of plantar fasciitis where work exposure is a causative factor
Method: Eighty (80) subjects were selected on the basis of the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were recruited randomly to either 820nm Ga-Al-As diode laser (experimental group) or dummy irradiation (placebo group).
Result: Overall results showed significant difference in VAS, FFI and DF from 0 week to 4th week in Group A indicating that the rate of improvement in Group A was more than Group B. Hence concluding the positive contribution of therapeutic modality for pain relief, increasing functional ability and increasing ROM (DF) whereas no difference was seen in (PF) ROM
Conclusion: The present study finds that LLLT using Ga-Al-As diode laser at the parameters shown is a safe and effective treatment method for the patients having plantar fasciitis.

Plantar fasciitis (PF) is a common pathological condition affecting the hind foot and was first described by Wood in 1812, he attributed it to tuberculosis. By definition PF is an inflammation of the plantar fascia. There are lot of perpetuating factors for PF which can be divided under intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The major goal of therapy is to relieve pain and increase functional ability. Currently used treatments include complementary methods out of which LLLT is one of the most common. To conclude LLLT could produce pain relief by one or a combination of these mechanisms - collagen proliferation, anti-inflammatory effect, circulation enhancement, and peripheral nerve stimulation. Thus, there have been adequate physiological effects and evidences for the significant role of LLLT in musculoskeletal disorders. Therefore frequent use of LLLT should be undertaken in any clinical setup for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders of the foot- Plantar fasciitis.Keywords
