Non-surgical Plantar Fasciitis Treatment

Plantar fasciitis is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by inflammation and pain in the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of your foot. This tissue connects your heel bone to your toes and helps support the arch of your foot.

The pain associated with plantar fasciitis can be debilitating, making it difficult to walk or stand for long periods. While many people turn to traditional treatments like pain medication, physical therapy, or orthotics, chiropractic care can offer a non-invasive, drug-free approach to treating plantar fasciitis.

Chiropractors can help alleviate the pain and discomfort associated with plantar fasciitis by performing a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying cause of the issue. This evaluation may include assessing your spine and other joints in your body, as well Digital Motion Study X-rays.

Once Dr. Sharikov has determined the cause of your plantar fasciitis, he will create a personalized treatment plan to address it. Treatment options may include spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapies, stretching exercises, and other modalities.

One of the key ways that chiropractic care can help with plantar fasciitis is by correcting misalignments in your lower back. When the vertebrae in this area are misaligned, they can put pressure on the nerves that control the muscles in your feet. This pressure can cause the muscles to become tight, weak, or even start to atrophy, leading to foot pain and discomfort.

Through chiropractic adjustments, the pressure on these nerves can be relieved, allowing the muscles in your feet to function properly. This can reduce the pain and discomfort associated with plantar fasciitis, as well as improve your overall foot function.

Chiropractic care for plantar fasciitis is a safe, non-invasive, drug-free option that can provide long-lasting relief.
