Plantar Fasciitis Treatment
Heel pain can make every step uncomfortable—especially first thing in the morning or after long periods of standing. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of foot and heel pain, and without proper care, it can linger or worsen over time.
At Randour Chiropractic, we focus on identifying the underlying factors contributing to plantar fasciitis and providing targeted care to help reduce pain and restore function.
What Is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue connecting the heel to the toes—becomes irritated or inflamed. This tissue supports the arch of the foot and absorbs shock during walking and standing.
Common symptoms include:
Sharp or stabbing heel pain
Pain with the first steps in the morning
Heel or arch pain after standing or walking
Discomfort that improves with movement but returns later in the day
Why Plantar Fasciitis Develops
Plantar fasciitis is often caused by a combination of factors, including:
Overuse or repetitive strain
Poor foot mechanics or arch support
Tight calves or Achilles tendon
Prolonged standing or walking
Compensation from knee, hip, or ankle issues
Addressing foot pain alone isn’t always enough—biomechanics throughout the lower extremity often play a role.
Chiropractic Care Can Help
Our approach to plantar fasciitis focuses on improving how the foot and lower extremity function as a whole. Care may include:
Joint adjustments to the foot, ankle, and lower extremity
Soft tissue therapy to reduce tension in the plantar fascia and calf muscles
Evaluation of gait and movement patterns
Recommendations to support healing and prevent recurrence
By improving mobility and reducing strain on the plantar fascia, many patients experience decreased pain and improved comfort with daily activities.
What to Expect at Your Visit
We begin with a thorough evaluation to determine what’s contributing to your heel pain. This may include:
Review of your symptoms and activity level
Assessment of foot, ankle, and lower extremity movement
Review of imaging when appropriate
Based on your findings, we’ll outline a clear, realistic care plan tailored to your needs.
Don’t Let Heel Pain Control Your Day
Plantar fasciitis doesn’t have to limit your work, exercise, or daily routine. With proper evaluation and care, many patients are able to return to walking, standing, and activity with significantly less discomfort.
