If you’ve ever experienced the sharp, persistent pain of plantar fasciitis, you know how frustrating it can be. This common foot condition affects the thick band of tissue (plantar fascia) that connects your heel to your toes, causing pain, especially in the heel area. But there’s good news! Effective treatments are available, and chiropractic care can play a key role in relieving your symptoms.
What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia becomes inflamed due to overuse, tightness, or repetitive strain. It often leads to stabbing pain in the heel, particularly in the morning or after long periods of standing or walking. This condition can significantly limit your mobility and quality of life if left untreated.
Treatment Options
A 2024 study published in the Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery highlights that hands-on therapies, stretching, and strengthening exercises are among the most effective treatments for plantar fasciitis. At Back2Strength, your trusted Eugene chiropractor, we offer precisely these approaches to help you find relief. Our tailored treatment plans focus on:
- Hands-on Therapies: Chiropractic adjustments and manual therapies can relieve tension in the muscles and tissues of the foot and lower leg, promoting healing.
- Stretching and Strengthening: We guide you through stretches to improve flexibility and exercises to strengthen the foot and lower leg muscles, which are critical for preventing recurrence.
- Custom Treatment Plans: No two cases of plantar fasciitis are the same. We evaluate your condition thoroughly to create a personalized plan aimed at long-term relief.
Why Choose Chiropractic Care for Plantar Fasciitis?
Chiropractic care addresses not just the symptoms but the root cause of the problem, helping to restore proper joint mechanics and improve overall foot function. In addition to reducing pain and inflammation, chiropractic adjustments can also improve function of the foot and relieve stress on the plantar fascia, promoting faster recovery.
