Plantar Fasciitis

Chiropractic Care for Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar Fasciitis is inflammation in the foot that affects the bottom of the foot and can cause tears in the Plantar Fascia ligament. This ligament connects the heel to the five toes. Plantar Fasciitis is typically caused by repetitive stress to the foot such as twisting, prolonged walking or standing, foot injury, and natural wear-and-tear from aging. Plantar Fasciitis may produce symptoms such as stabbing pain, limited mobility, and inability to apply pressure on the foot.

When the pressure from plantar fasciitis is too much to bear, a visit to Canty Chiropractic in San Mateo may help with pain relief. Chiropractic care can help with providing joint adjustments in the ankle and knee to allow the nerves to communicate freely with that part of the foot and to promote blood flow. Often, a simple joint manipulation can help to release the tension that is causing pain in the foot.
