Treatment:
Plantar Fasciitis
Heel pain due to plantar fasciitis is a common complaint among active individuals and those who spend long hours on their feet. Castle Chiropractic provides care that addresses the underlying biomechanical issues contributing to plantar fasciitis.
Our treatment plans include improving foot alignment, relieving tension in the plantar fascia, and recommending exercises for long-term recovery.
Symptoms of plantar fasciitis pain can be:
Sharp Heel Pain:
Intense, stabbing pain at the bottom of the heel, particularly noticeable with the first steps in the morning or after periods of inactivity, often described as a "stone bruise."
Stiffness:
The foot may feel tight, especially in the morning, making it difficult to walk or stand without discomfort.
Pain with Activity:
Discomfort tends to worsen after prolonged standing, walking, or exercise, particularly on hard surfaces, and may improve with rest.
Pain Reduction with Rest:
Symptoms typically ease after walking for a short time but can return after long periods of sitting or inactivity.
