PLANTAR FASCIITIS: TREATING FOOT PAIN FROM THE GROUND UP
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, typically caused by inflammation of the thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of the foot. While rest, ice, and stretching are often recommended, many people continue to struggle with chronic pain and limited mobility. Chiropractic care offers a holistic approach that addresses both the foot and the alignment of the entire musculoskeletal system.
Key Insight:
Foot pain doesn’t always start in the foot. Misalignments in the spine, pelvis, knees, or ankles can cause abnormal stress on the plantar fascia. Chiropractic adjustments help improve posture and gait mechanics, reducing strain and allowing the foot to heal more effectively.
If you’re dealing with persistent heel pain, chiropractic care may offer a non-invasive solution that treats more than just the symptoms.
Take the first step toward pain-free movement and learn how chiropractic can support your recovery.
