Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the plantar fascia and is one of the most common causes of heel pain that we see in our clinic. Patients will often feel a stabbing pain in the heel and bottom of the foot that will get stiffer after periods of rest and after sleeping.
At Chiropractic Pain Solutions we have created a new comprehensive treatment style that has revolutionized our patient outcomes for plantar fasciitis. By treating the cause of your condition we can have you back to feeling better faster.
Different causes of plantar fasciitis include:
Our goal will be to determine the cause, reduce calf tightness, and eliminate foot and heel inflammation. We will also work towards strengthening the intrinsic foot muscles of the foot to increase strength and stability of the surrounding musculature.
With all the different causes of plantar fasciitis there are many different treatments to resolve the issue. At our clinic our patient tailored approach helps to find the specific cause and treat the source to get you back to being your best self.
Treating plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain, involves various therapeutic techniques aimed at relieving pain and promoting healing. Myofascial release is a hands-on therapy that targets the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles, to reduce tension and improve flexibility. Trigger point therapy focuses on specific points of tightness within the plantar fascia, using manual pressure to alleviate pain and release muscle knots. Dry needling involves inserting thin needles into trigger points to stimulate the body's healing response and reduce muscle tightness. Plantar fascia release is a surgical procedure reserved for severe cases, where part of the fascia is cut to relieve tension and reduce inflammation. Electric muscle stimulation (EMS) uses electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contractions, enhancing blood flow and reducing pain. Combining these treatments can effectively manage plantar fasciitis by addressing both the symptoms and underlying causes, leading to improved function and reduced discomfort.
