Treat Foot Pain with Chiropractic Solutions

Are you struggling with sharp, stabbing heel pain as you take your first steps each morning? This could be a sign of plantar fasciitis, a common but painful condition affecting the foot’s plantar fascia ligament. At Knoxville Chiropractic Solutions, located in Knoxville, TN, we specialize in diagnosing and effectively treating plantar fasciitis, helping you step back into comfort and regain your mobility.

Understanding Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis results from inflammation in the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue connecting your heel bone to your toes. It’s particularly prevalent among runners, obese individuals, pregnant women, and those who wear unsupportive footwear. The condition is more likely between the ages of 40 and 70 and typically manifests as a sharp pain in the heel, especially noticeable with the first steps after waking.

Causes and Symptoms

Common causes and aggravating factors include:

  • Excessive standing
  • Inadequate footwear
  • Sudden increase in physical activity
  • Obesity or being overweight
  • Vitamin C deficiency

Symptoms primarily include:

  • Sharp, stabbing pain in the heel
  • Pain that decreases with movement but worsens after resting
  • Occasional swelling on the bottom of the heel

Diagnosis and Treatment

Our comprehensive approach starts with a detailed examination of your foot, assessing reflexes, muscle strength, coordination, and balance. We also perform a structural evaluation of your knees, hips, and pelvis to identify contributing factors such as poor weight distribution or improper gait.

Innovative Chiropractic Care for Plantar Fasciitis

Our treatment strategy focuses on relieving the stress and inflammation affecting the plantar fascia. Techniques include:

  • Soft tissue therapy to restore motion in the ankle and foot joints
  • Calf muscle work to improve flexibility and reduce strain on the plantar fascia
  • Customized stretching routines to aid in healing and pain relief
  • Guidance on proper orthotics for arch support
  • Ice massage techniques for pain alleviation

Preventative Measures and Home Care

In addition to in-clinic treatments, we recommend:

  • Regular stretching of the plantar fascia
