What Is Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue along the bottom of the foot, becomes inflamed or irritated. Over time, repetitive stress, poor posture, or improper foot mechanics can lead to micro-tears and chronic discomfort.

Common contributing factors include:
​​​​​​​

  • Flat feet, high arches, or abnormal gait

  • Prolonged standing or walking on hard surfaces

  • Tight calf muscles or Achilles tendon

  • Overuse from running, jumping, or sports

  • Poor footwear or improper support

How Chiropractic Care Helps Plantar Fasciitis

Chiropractic care addresses foot biomechanics and alignment, targeting the root causes of plantar fasciitis rather than just treating symptoms. Your care plan may include:
​​​​​​​

  • Foot and ankle adjustments to restore proper alignment and movement

  • Soft tissue therapy and massage to relieve tension in the plantar fascia and surrounding muscles

  • Stretching and strengthening exercises for calves, Achilles tendon, and foot muscles

  • Gait analysis and corrective techniques to improve walking and running mechanics

  • Lifestyle and footwear recommendations to reduce stress on the foot


By correcting structural imbalances, chiropractic care helps your plantar fascia heal naturally while improving mobility and preventing recurrence.
