Plantar Fasciitis

Find Relief from Heel Pain at Spinalcare Chiropractic Clinic

Heel pain while walkingWe all depend on our feet to take us where we need to go and to help us balance. So, what happens when foot pain caused by plantar fasciitis interferes? Stabs of sharp pain can stop you in your tracks, and if left unattended, it can become chronic. Fortunately, it can be treated with chiropractic care, the kind of care we provide right here in the practice.

What is Plantar Fasciitis?

Running along the bottom of the foot is a ligament called the plantar fascia, which we put constant stress and pressure on daily. As a result, this ligament becomes stretched and begins to wear down, resulting in a flare-up of inflammation and stabbing pain in the heel and possibly other areas of the foot. This is the condition known as plantar fasciitis.

Several things can cause this condition besides long-term wear and tear, and they include:

  • An injury from a fall
  • Excessive exercises, such as in long-distance running
  • Sudden weight gain or obesity
  • High arches or flat feet
  • Standing for excessive periods
  • Wearing footwear with little or no support

As a result of the foot pain, sufferers will often accommodate the pain by adjusting their gait, causing a whole new set of issues throughout the body, such as in the lower back, hips, knees, and ankles. By seeking treatment early on, you can avoid these additional issues and get on the path to healing much faster.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Chiropractic care is an extremely effective way to treat this condition, providing pain relief as well as promoting healing. By making adjustments to both the ankle and the foot, accompanied by spinal alignment, pressure on the ligament will be reduced, inflammation will disappear, and the pain will be alleviated. Combine these with targeted exercises and a healing massage, and you’ll be well on your way to wellness and feeling your best.
