Plantar Fasciitis: A common cause of heel and foot pain.
Are you experiencing sharp heel pain when you take your first steps in the morning or after long periods of standing? You might be suffering from plantar fasciitis—a common and often frustrating condition that can significantly limit your mobility and quality of life.
At Modern Care Chiropractic, we offer a comprehensive, non-invasive approach to treating plantar fasciitis, helping you get back on your feet—pain-free.
So what exactly causes plantar fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia—the thick band of tissue that connects your heel to your toes—becomes irritated, inflamed, or strained. This condition is especially common in runners, individuals who stand for long hours, and people with poor foot mechanics, flat feet, or improper footwear.
Common Symptoms:
Sharp or stabbing heel pain, pain that worsens after activity, tenderness along the bottom of the foot, and stiffness or aching in the arch or heel.
Our Treatment Approach May Include:
Chiropractic Adjustments: Improving alignment in the feet, ankles, knees, and hips to reduce strain on the plantar fascia.
Soft Tissue Therapy: Releasing tight muscles and fascia in the calves and feet using techniques like myofascial release or instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM).
Class IV Laser Therapy: One of Dr. Huber's favorite treatments for muscular dysfuntion. Class IV laser therapy uses a powerful state of the art EVO D3 laser to increase cellular metabolism, decrease inflamation, and speed up healing time in the plantar fascia.
Stretching and Strengthening Exercises: Targeted rehab to improve flexibility and stability in the lower limbs.
Lifestyle & Footwear Guidance: Helping you make smart choices that support long-term foot health.
