Plantar Fasciitis Treatment at Freedom Chiropractic in Grand Rapids, MI
What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, affecting millions of people each year. This condition occurs when the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot—becomes inflamed or strained. The pain is typically most noticeable when you take your first steps in the morning or after periods of rest.
Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis
- Sharp pain near the heel
- Stiffness in the foot, especially after long periods of inactivity
- Pain that worsens after exercise but not during it
- Tenderness or swelling along the arch of the foot
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
At Freedom Chiropractic, we take a holistic approach to treating plantar fasciitis. Chiropractic adjustments help realign the spine, pelvis, and lower extremities, reducing pressure on the plantar fascia and promoting healing. Here’s how our treatment can make a difference:
1. Chiropractic Adjustments
Proper alignment of the spine and pelvis can relieve tension on the plantar fascia. Misalignment in these areas can lead to poor posture and weight distribution, aggravating foot pain. By ensuring your body is in alignment, we can reduce the stress on your feet.
2. Foot Adjustments
Specific chiropractic adjustments can be made directly to the foot to reduce inflammation and restore proper movement in the foot’s bones and soft tissues. This can enhance the body’s natural healing process and improve overall foot function.
3. Soft Tissue Therapy
We offer soft tissue therapies such as Active Release Technique (ART) and myofascial release to target the tight, painful tissues in the foot and calf. These therapies break down scar tissue and promote blood flow, speeding up recovery.
4. Custom Orthotics
Our clinic provides custom orthotics to support your feet and promote even weight distribution. Proper footwear and orthotic support can help prevent plantar fasciitis from reoccurring.
5. Stretching and Strengthening Exercises
We also design personalized exercise plans to help stretch the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon. Strengthening the muscles in your lower leg will provide better support for your arch, helping to prevent further strain on the fascia.
