How Chiropractic Care Helps Plantar Fasciitis
Chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper movement and reducing strain throughout the body. When joints, muscles, and soft tissues work better together, the plantar fasciitis can heal more effectively.
Care may include:
- Gentle chiropractic adjustment
- Soft-tissue work to reduce tension
- Shockwave therapy
- Guidance on movement, posture, and daily habits
Our goal is to reduce stress on the plantar fascia so the foot can recover naturally.
FAQ about plantar fasciitis treatment
Can a chiropractor really help plantar fasciitis?
Yes. Chiropractors focus on improving joint motion, reducing muscle tension, and correcting movement patterns that place stress on the plantar fascia.
Is shockwave therapy painful?
Most patients describe it as uncomfortable but tolerable. Sessions are short, and discomfort decreases as healing begins.
How many shockwave sessions are needed?
This varies by person, but many patients notice improvement within a few sessions. Chronic cases may require additional visits.
Do I need x-rays for plantar fasciitis?
Not always. X-rays are only recommended when clinically necessary.
How long does it take to feel relief?
Some patients feel improvement quickly, while others improve gradually over several weeks depending on severity and how long the condition has been present.
Can plantar fasciitis come back?
It can if the underlying causes are not addressed. That’s why we focus on the whole body, not just the foot.
