If you are one of the 2 million Americans who suffer from heel pain every year, then you know how devastating it can be to experience pain with every single step. The good news is, chiropractic treatment can reduce the pain associated with heel pain, also called plantar fasciitis. Learn more.
IASTM or instrument-assisted soft-tissue manipulation is a common treatment for plantar fasciitis. In this healing method, we apply heat to treat inflammation that causes heel pain, then stretch and ice the area. This simple treatment reduces pain and also enhances your mobility and range of motion. We can show you how to do this at home; daily treatments have helped many patients with heel pain find relief.
While helping relieve the pain of this condition, we may also be able to treat the underlying cause. In some cases, tight calf muscles, joint stress, or muscle imbalance can be contributing to the onset of heel pain. Through chiropractic adjustments, we can correct the underlying issue and set the stage for a comprehensive recovery.
During a course of treatment, we can also offer lifestyle advice that may help. Small changes to your biomechanics, daily routine, and diet and reduce the pressure on your heels. If you are obese, losing weight will reduce the intensity of your pain and aid recovery.
The treatment for plantar fasciitis typically takes 6-9 months. However, many of our patients report that learning how to stretch the area, reducing inflammation through ice, heat, and chiropractic adjustments, and other healthy habits reduce pain and pressure from the beginning of treatment onward.
