Plantar Fasciitis Treatment

Plantar fasciitis refers to a chronic local inflammation of the thick band of tissue stretching underneath the sole (plantar fascia) that attaches to the heel. Most of the time, it's caused by a recurring strain injury to the ligament of the sole. It's one of the most common orthopedic complaints because your plantar fascia ligament experiences a lot of wear and tear. If foot pain is disrupting your daily life, the chiropractic professionals at West Buffalo Chiropractic are ready to assist you.

Causes of Plantar Fasciitis

Being Obese or Overweight

Individuals who are overweight are at a greater risk of developing plantar fasciitis. This condition results from aggravated pressure on your plantar fascia ligaments.

Structural Foot Problems

Foot disorders such as high arches and flat feet increase your chances of developing plantar fasciitis. If your Achilles tendon is tight, you are also more likely to experience plantar fasciitis.

Related Medical Conditions

Medical conditions like collapsed arches, ankylosing spondylitis, and reactive arthritis make the plantar fascia more susceptible to tearing and inflammation.

Occupational Risks

If you stand or sit for long durations while performing your various duties, you are more likely to experience foot and heel pain. Wearing high-heeled shoes can cause plantar fasciitis.

Chiropractic Care for Plantar Fasciitis

There are several methods our chiropractors may use to treat plantar fasciitis. Some of the most common treatment techniques include the following.

Shockwave Therapy

It is a painless, quick, non-invasive surgical treatment that helps in suppressing pain from plantar fasciitis. Waves travel throughout the heel skin until it locates an inflamed tissue. It progresses to trigger the body's natural healing process, causing new blood vessels to form.

Chiropractic Adjustments

A chiropractor adjusts your ankles, feet, knees, hips, and spine to alleviate pressure on the bottom of your feet, reducing foot pain and promoting healing.

Stretches and Exercises

A chiropractor can help you to undertake specific stretches, exercises, and movements to assist you in relieving pain and aches. These stretches mitigate inflammation at the bottom of your feet, helping to treat plantar fasciitis.
