Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the plantar fascia, a part of your foot that connects your heel bone to your toes. Symptoms of plantar fasciitis include pain around the heel and arch of your foot. It may be worse in the morning. 

You’re more likely to get plantar fasciitis from exercising on hard surfaces, wearing shoes with poor support or being overweight. The use of chiropractic treatment is a well documented treatment for plantar fasciitis and is very effective at alleviating the issues. A chiropractor can perform adjustments to your feet, ankles, knees, hips, and spine. These adjustments are designed to alleviate pressure on the bottom of your feet, allowing you to relax and heal.

Sports therapy can significantly improve plantar fasciitis by addressing the root causes of the condition, such as tightness in the calf muscles and poor foot mechanics. Through targeted exercises, stretching, and manual therapy, sports therapists help reduce inflammation, strengthen the muscles supporting the arch, and increase flexibility in the plantar fascia. This not only alleviates pain but also promotes healing and prevents the condition from recurring, allowing you to return to your normal activities with reduced discomfort.
