Plantar fasciitis is a common condition that causes pain in the heel and bottom of the foot. It occurs when the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot, becomes inflamed. This inflammation can result from overuse, improper footwear, or structural issues in the feet and legs. Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive treatment option for plantar fasciitis by addressing these underlying issues and improving foot mechanics.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Alleviate Plantar Fasciitis:
1. Spinal and Lower Extremity Adjustments: Misalignments in the spine and lower extremities can contribute to plantar fasciitis by affecting foot mechanics. Chiropractic adjustments correct these misalignments, reducing pressure on the plantar fascia.
2. Soft Tissue Therapy: Techniques such as massage and myofascial release can alleviate tension in the foot and calf muscles, reducing pain and inflammation.
3. Orthotic Recommendations: Chiropractors may recommend custom orthotics or supportive footwear to improve foot mechanics and reduce strain on the plantar fascia.
4. Exercise and Stretching: Specific exercises and stretches can strengthen the muscles supporting the feet and improve flexibility, reducing the risk of plantar fasciitis.
