Pain-Free Living: Chiropractic Solutions for Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Pain
What is Plantar Fasciitis?
It is a degenerative condition that affects the sole of the foot, where the plantar fascia is. The plantar fascia is a band of tissue that spans from the heel to the base of the toes. It is responsible for supporting the arch of the foot and assisting with the push off that occurs when walking. Discomfort from plantar fasciitis is usually the worst in the morning and can be accompanied by swelling, which occurs when the plantar fascia is stretched beyond its capacity.
Treatment for plantar fasciitis pain is available at Vancouver Orthotic Clinics.
What is Heel Pain?
Heel pain refers to the discomfort felt on the back of the heel. It is a symptom of inflammation of the plantar fascia. Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of this ache and is caused when the plantar fascia is overused or injured.
This is the thick band of connective tissue that runs from the base of the toes to the bones in the foot that support the arch. 16 ways to fix Heel Pain shared by Dr. Michael Horowitz .
