Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Pain

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It happens when the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot from heel to toes, becomes irritated and inflamed. The pain is often sharpest with your first steps in the morning or after sitting for a while.

It is common in runners, people who stand for long periods, and people with flat feet, high arches or unsupportive shoes. Problems in the ankles, knees, hips or lower back can also change the way you walk and add stress to your feet.

Our Chiropractors Will

• Perform a thorough examination of your feet, ankles and gait, and take X-rays if needed.

• Use shockwave therapy, adjustments of the foot and ankle, soft-tissue work, Kinesio taping and massage to reduce pain and promote healing.

• Fit you for custom orthotics if needed and prescribe stretches and footwear changes to help prevent it from coming back.
