Waking up with sharp heel pain? Feeling like you are walking on a pebble with every step? You may be dealing with plantar fasciitis, one of the most common causes of foot pain.

Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot. It can make simple movements like walking, climbing stairs, or standing at work feel uncomfortable and frustrating.

The good news is that there are effective and natural ways to treat it. Chiropractic care for plantar fasciitis is one of them, and it is available right here at OMWC.

What is Plantar Fasciitis?

Your plantar fascia is a strong band of tissue that connects your heel bone to your toes. It supports the arch of your foot and absorbs shock with every step you take. Over time, strain and small tears in this tissue can lead to inflammation and pain.

You may notice:

- A sharp pain near the heel when you first get out of bed
- Discomfort after standing for long periods
- Pain after exercise or long walks
- Tightness in the calves or Achilles tendon

Plantar fasciitis is common among active individuals who spend long hours on their feet or wear unsupportive footwear. Without the right care, it can lead to long-term discomfort and compensation issues in the knees, hips, or back.

So What Does It Mean?

Adding chiropractic treatment for plantar fasciitis to your care plan may help with:

- Reducing heel pain and inflammation
- Improving foot and ankle alignment
- Releasing tight calf muscles and improving flexibility
- Supporting posture and reducing strain on other joints
- Preventing flare-ups and supporting long-term recovery

At OMWC, our chiropractors offer natural plantar fasciitis relief through a whole-body approach focusing on your feet, legs, and spine.
