A torn plantar plate can be one of the most frustrating injuries for a runner.
A runner who has been following many of the suggestions regarding ways to reduce the stress and strain on the plantar plate ligament, has been treating the injury on her own and was getting better.
Then she recently got a set back and understandably got super frustrated.
But like most strong runners, she is focusing on the possible solutions instead of wallowing in self pity.
She wrote in and said…
I am desperate to be able to even walk barefoot without pain, to be able to run on the treadmill and jump !! I am wondering whether it is worth trying the following :
1. Massage
2. Ultrasound therapy
3. Plasma Therapy
This video by Dr. Christopher Segler talks about 3 different torn plantar plate injury treatment options worth considering.

Thanks for watching! Sorry to hear about your plantar plate. I don't recommend anything without understand the specific circumstances. Hve you seen the Plantar Plate Masterclass??

I have the same question. I have ALL the symptoms of plantar plate strain/tear, but my MRI & X-ray came back normal. How can I be in this much pain and not have a plantar plate tear??

Not sure what the doctor has/had to say about this, but here is my story for whomever finds it useful: I recently got an MRI on my left foot and no plantar plate issues were noted by the radiologist/my podiatrist. A couple weeks later I got an MRI on my right foot (for insurance reasons I couldn't get both scanned at the same time even though I had pain in both feet). The radiologist noticed the plantar plate strain in my right foot, then decided to go back and re-examine the MRI of my left foot. Turns out he'd missed the plantar plate strain on my left foot the first time around, but it was there all along and he made an addendum to my report noting it. So yes, I have PP strain in both feet at the same time...fun.
