Here is your guide to understanding plantar fasciitis and exploring our chiropractic treatment options.
What Is Plantar Fasciitis?
Your plantar fascia is a thick band of connective tissue that runs from the heel to toes of each foot. Plantar fasciitis is a condition that causes inflammation of the plantar fascia, resulting in pain and discomfort when you stand or walk. Plantar fasciitis can occur due to overuse, repetitive stress, age, wearing the wrong type of shoes, strenuous workouts or exercise, or spending long periods standing, walking, or running on hard surfaces.
How Do I Know if I Have Plantar Fasciitis?
The most common symptom of plantar fasciitis is heel pain. Other symptoms of plantar fasciitis are:
- Pain in the arch of your foot
- Inflammation in the arch or heel
- Stiffness or trouble rotating or moving your foot
- Increased foot pain when standing or walking
- Swelling around your heel
What Are My Chiropractic Treatment Options for Plantar Fasciitis?
Dr. Autera will create a personalized treatment plan that combines multiple chiropractic therapies to relieve your plantar fasciitis symptoms. He will use chiropractic adjustments to maintain proper alignment of the spine and relieve pressure on your legs and feet. Chiropractic adjustments can also relieve pain and improve your posture and mobility. Therapeutic exercises and stretches and massage therapy can relieve heel pain and inflammation and reduce stiffness. Dr. Autera will also recommend lifestyle changes you can make at home to reduce pain and prevent future plantar fasciitis flare-ups, such as improving your posture, stretching and exercising regularly, changing your work environment or job duties, losing weight, and changing your diet.
