Our Chesapeake chiropractor provides natural treatment for plantar fasciitis. Learn how we can relieve your pain and reduce your symptoms without the use of medication.
What are the Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis?
When the tissue that connects your toes and heel becomes inflamed or weak, plantar fasciitis develops. The main symptoms of plantar fasciitis is intense pain in the heel. Some people also feel stiff.
While plantar fasciitis is common among older adults, military soldiers and those who walk a lot also come down with the condition. Individuals who have high arches, are overweight, or have pronation of the feet are more likely to develop this foot condition. Some people develop plantar fasciitis after an underlying injury that causes foot pain.
For many, plantar fasciitis comes and goes over a long period. The pain varies in intensity.
How Our Chesapeake Chiropractor Treats Plantar Fasciitis
Our chiropractor can examine your feet and gait, checking for causes of plantar fasciitis like excessive pronation or a high arch. We can provide you with custom insoles for your arch or make tips for ways to change your posture and gait to relieve pressure from the feet. When you can make these changes, you'll reduce the plantar fasciitis pain naturally.
Next, we make targeted adjustments to the feet, geared toward reducing swelling and inflammation. These adjustments soothe pain and promote healing of the underlying inflammation, healing plantar fasciitis naturally.
If obesity contributes to your heel pain, we can offer suggestions for healthy living. Any weight you lose will reduce the symptoms, so we highly encourage this.
Finally, we will show you stretches that can help relieve tightness of the foot muscles. By performing these stretches at home, you can reduce tension in the foot, reduce pain, and promote recovery.
By taking an integrated approach of patient education, stretches, chiropractic adjustments, rehabilitation, and lifestyle advice, our chiropractor can help you recover.
