Plantar Fasciitis

Symptoms by body part:

Tarsal/Foot: Acute Pain; Burning; Chronic Pain; Muscle Tightness

Plantar Fasciitis occurs when the thick tissues at the bottom of the foot become inflamed. There can be chronic or acute causes. Acute causes are due to a responsive tightening of the muscles in the foot and lower leg, which creates a sort of cramping in the bottom of the foot when the fascia tightens. Chronic causes are due to multiple, tiny adhesions between the muscles of the bottom of the foot and the fascia. This causes chronic inflammation as the biomechanics of the foot are altered, especially in the arch. It can occur due to repetitive injury such as common causes listed below.

Chiropractic neurologists provide excellent treatment for plantar fascitis with exceptional results. Our care incorporates diagnosis and treatment for all parts of the problem - joint, muscle, and their neurological components.

Our diagnosis and treatment fits every complexity, from acute plantar fascitis to chornic conditions, many of which have failed other treatments.
