Why Do You Have Foot Pain?
A variety of factors can contribute to foot pain. This type of pain is any type of discomfort that is in the foot, heel, or ankle. Many conditions can cause it. In some situations, it may be due to poor posture. You may be walking in a manner that is not ideal for proper movement, leading to discomfort. Foot pain can also be caused by damage to the Achilles tendon, bone spurs, bunions, and osteoarthritis. Some individuals struggle with pain after a broken foot or ankle. Others struggle with conditions such as tendinitis or stress fractures.


Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis
One of the most common causes of foot pain is plantar fasciitis. This condition is a very common type of foot pain in which most of the pain stems from the heel. However, the origination of the pain is in the thick band of tissues that runs along the very bottom of the foot from the toes to the heel. If this band of tissues becomes inflamed, such as when you are over using it, suffer an injury to this area, or have poor posture, it causes intense pain that can limit your ability to walk.

Symptoms of plantar fasciitis include:

  • Stabbing like pain that tends to occur first thing in the morning.
  • Pain in the foot that occurs after you haven't walked on the foot for some time and start to do so.
  • The pain tends to reduce in intensity as you walk, but will come back after you sit or stand for a while.

Individuals who are runners are most likely to develop this particular condition. However, it can also occur in anyone that strains this band of tissues, called the plantar fascia, too much. This includes those who wear shoes that do not offer enough support in them or those who are overweight. In both situations, the plantar fascia tends to become damaged and inflamed.


Plantar Fasciitis Treatment
When you visit our team, we'll recommend the best plantar fasciitis treatment for your needs. Our job will be to understand where the damage is and what is causing it. We'll then work with you on corrective exercises. If the cause of the pain stems from misalignment of joints in the foot, ankle, or even the spine, we'll use chiropractic adjustments to correct this concern. We'll also work with you on massage therapy. This process can help to speed the body's natural ability to heal.
