Plantar Fasciitis Pain? Tucson Chiropractic Care Can Help!

Plantar fasciitis is a common condition that causes heel pain due to inflammation of the thick band of tissue running across the bottom of your foot. At Life Aligned Wellness Center, we offer non-invasive treatments, such as chiropractic care and shockwave therapy, to alleviate pain and promote healing. Our team is here to get you back on your feet—pain-free!

What Is Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis is a common condition that causes pain in the heel due to inflammation or tiny tears in the plantar fascia. This is a thick band of tissue that supports the arch of your foot and absorbs shock when you walk or run. When overused or strained, the tissue becomes irritated, leading to pain and stiffness.

The main symptom is sharp heel pain, especially when you take your first steps in the morning or after sitting for a while. It may ease with movement but often returns after standing, walking, or exercising for long periods.

Several factors can increase your risk of plantar fasciitis:

• Foot shape: Flat feet or high arches can add extra stress to the plantar fascia.
• Activities: Running, standing for long hours, or repetitive foot strain can cause irritation.
• Shoes: Wearing unsupportive footwear, like flip-flops or worn-out sneakers, can worsen the problem.
• Age and weight: Middle-aged adults and those who are overweight are more likely to develop it.

If left untreated, plantar fasciitis can make everyday activities difficult. Early care can help reduce pain and prevent long-term issues.

How Chiropractic Care Helps Plantar Fasciitis

Chiropractic adjustments target misalignments in the feet and lower body that may contribute to plantar fasciitis. Treatments such as custom orthotics and gait assessments address underlying issues, while techniques like shockwave therapy stimulate tissue repair and reduce inflammation. By focusing on whole-body alignment, we ensure lasting relief.

Self-Care Tips for Managing Plantar Fasciitis at Home

While professional treatment is essential, there are steps you can take at home to manage plantar fasciitis pain:

• Stretching Exercises: Regularly stretch your calves and the plantar fascia to improve flexibility.
• Ice Therapy: Apply ice to the affected area for 15-20 minutes to reduce inflammation.
• Supportive Shoes: Wear footwear with proper arch support and cushioning.

These strategies, combined with our treatments, offer a comprehensive approach to healing.
