Plantar Fasciitis and Foot Pain
WELCOME TO THE SOFT TISSUE CLINIC
What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is a painful condition of the foot and heel caused by overusing and overloading the muscles in the sole of the foot. It commonly causes pain on the first step after waking up and the first step after resting. This pain normally improves with more movement and further walking. It is one of the most common causes of heel or foot pain in adults.
Plantar fasciitis treatment at Pro Chiro is very effective, helping get our patients back to doing what they love in record time!
How Does Plantar Fasciitis Develop?
When the plantar fascia develops micro tears or becomes irritated and inflamed, it is known as plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis simply means an inflammation of the muscles and soft tissues of the base of the foot.
Most patients with heel pain present without the presence of inflammation. Therefore, a more accurate term to describe their problem would be plantar fasciosis. Plantar fasciosis may involve short or long term stretching, tearing, degeneration of the fascia at its attachment site. Plantar fasciitis involves all of the above plus the presence of inflammation. Plantar fasciitis / fasciosis can occur on one or both sides at the same time.

How Can You Help Plantar Fasciitis At Home?
In addition to the hands on therapy techniques mentioned above, there are certain exercises and stretches that can be done at home to help reduce the pain and prevent the problem from returning. We have also previously made a video about the best exercises for plantar fasciitis which can be found here.
The first exercise in the video is a great way to improve the strength of the muscles in the base of the foot. This will help to take pressure away from the plantar fascia and allow it to recover. On top of this, building up the strength in these muscles will stop plantar fasciitis from returning.
