Chiropractic Plantar Fasciitis Treatments in Kansas City
Plantar Fasciitis is one of the most common causes of foot and/or heel pain.
Plantar fasciitis involves inflammation of a thick band of tissue (the plantar fascia) that runs across the bottom of your foot and connects your heel bone to your toes. When muscles of the foot and/or calf are tight or shortened it creates increased tissue pull and force through the plantar fascia, which leads to pain in the bottom of the foot at the arch or at the heel. Left untreated, plantar fasciitis can create a bone spur on the heel.
Symptoms
- Pain underneath the foot experienced in the morning
- Pain while walking after sitting for prolonged periods
- Pain while standing
- Pain after running
Plantar Fasciitis Treatments
Plantar fasciitis can consist of issues stemming from several different muscles, and the causes may vary drastically from person to person. Due to this, plantar fasciitis may respond best to an assortment of treatment procedures, including manual therapies such as ART or Graston. Orthotics can be beneficial in establishing foot support. Each of these treatments should also be accompanied with rehabilitative exercises which work to address any improper movement patterns or bio-mechanical issues.
