Abstrakt: Background: Plantar fasciitis (PF) is a chronic and progressive disease that impairs patients' quality of life and daily activities. PF is caused by repeated tissue injury at the origin of the calcaneus' medial tuberosity. The symptoms include Pain expanding from the heel's medial aspect into the arch of the foot. Pain is frequently worse in the morning, after a period of rest, or after engaging in physical exercise. These signs and symptoms can become paralyzing as the illness advances, reducing the individual's ability to bear weight. According to recent research, the condition should be called fascists because the pathology is more similar to that of tendinosis. The thickness of the plantar fascia increases, as does degeneration Purpose: The purpose of the study to determine the effectiveness of dry needling for the subjects with plantar fasciitis Materials and Methods: 68 subjects in total were chosen based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Experimental group (n=34) patients received dry needling of intended sites using a 30 mm needle that was gradually withdrawn after 15 minutes. The conventional group (n=34) received the Ultrasound therapy was applied at 3.0-MHz frequency. Patients taken from the five plus hospital. The study period was from December 2022 to March 2023. Results: Statistical analysis of 6 minute Walk test and NPRS examination post values revealed the constantly significant differences, With the P value of <0.0001. Conclusion: Dry needling with strengthening exercise was found to be comparatively more effective than ultrasound therapy with strengthening exercise [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
