What is Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar Fasciitis typically causes a stabbing pain in the bottom of your foot near the heel and is caused by inflammation or tears to the long, flat ligament along the bottom of the foot, called the plantar fascia, and also in the Achilles tendon just above the heel. 
     
                 


Certain risk factors are associated with this condition, most likely occurring in individuals between the ages of 40 and 60. If ignored, it can lead to more serious long-term problems than just foot pain, such as chronic pain and possible knee, hip, or back issues, and worse yet, a torn Achilles tendon.


One of the problems with Plantar Fasciitis is that it causes the ligaments and tendons in the foot to be inflamed and shortened. As you rest at night, your body heals, and if your foot is flexed down like it normally is, those soft tissues start to heal in the shortened length. When you stand up in the morning, you re-tear those tissues, and they cannot heal completely.



How Can a Chiropractor Help With Plantar Fasciitis?

The chiropractors at Clairpointe Family Chiropractic will examine your spine and feet for subluxations (misalignments of the spine and joints) and correct them using chiropractic adjustments. Proper alignment of the spine helps balance the body, taking pressure off the nervous system, while alignment of the foot relieves stress on the ligament, allowing it to relax and heal. The doctors will also teach you how to properly ice your foot, give you exercises to allow the foot to start healing in the lengthened position, and suggest scanning your feet for Foot Levelers Custom-Fitted orthotics. Applying these techniques will allow you to wake up daily without re-tearing and re-injuring your foot.
