Foot Pain? can it be Plantar Faciitis?

If you have ever stepped out of bed and felt like you had an ice pick stuck in your heel, then you know plantar faciitis.

Plantar fasciitis
is characterized by pain in the heel of the foot or in the sole of the foot, usually exacerbated by walking without proper arch support. The pain tends to be increased in the morning hours (as the muscles of the foot and calf tighten up at night) and decreases a bit as the day goes on.

Common causes of plantar fasciitis are joint fixations within the tarsal bones (bones of the foot), tight calves muscles and tight foot muscles.

Although many people suffer from this condition for months and years on end, Chiropractic care is very effective treating this condition. A combination of chiropractic adjustments to the foot, myofascial release and some exercises alleviate and in many cases completely get rid of this condition.

If you or anyone you know is suffering from foot pain we may have the solution you are looking for.
