What Causes Plantar Fasciitis?

The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue that supports your foot arch. When it becomes irritated or strained, inflammation develops, leading to persistent pain. Contributing factors include poor foot mechanics, tight calf muscles, overuse, long hours standing, and even spinal or pelvic misalignments that affect how your weight is distributed.

Foot pain rarely exists in isolation. Imbalances in the spine, hips, knees, or ankles can place extra stress on the feet, which is why a whole-body approach is essential.

Common Signs of Plantar Fasciitis

Sharp heel pain with first steps in the morning
Pain after sitting or after long periods of standing
Tenderness along the arch of the foot
Tightness in calves or Achilles tendon
Pain that improves slightly with movement but returns later

How We Help

We evaluate your posture, gait, leg alignment, and foot mobility to understand what is creating the strain. Chiropractic care treatment options may include:

Chiropractic adjustments to improve alignment in the spine and lower extremities
Soft-tissue therapy to reduce pressure on the fascia
Targeted stretching to restore flexibility
Corrective exercises to build strength

Our goal is to relieve pain quickly while correcting the underlying mechanics so the problem doesn’t keep returning.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to recover from plantar fasciitis?

Recovery time varies based on severity and how long you’ve had the condition. Many patients notice improvement within a few weeks of care, though chronic cases may take longer. Addressing the root cause and following your personalized care plan helps speed recovery and prevent recurrence.

Should I stop exercising if I have plantar fasciitis?

You don’t have to stop all activity, but you may need to modify certain exercises temporarily. We’ll guide you on which activities to avoid and which ones can actually help your recovery.

Can orthotics or shoe inserts help?

Orthotics can provide support, but they don’t always address the underlying mechanical issues causing your pain. We evaluate your specific situation and recommend footwear changes or inserts only when appropriate as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
