Treatment for Plantar Fasciitis Foot Pain from Our Chiropractor in Joliet, IL
Plantar Fasciitis is a very common type of foot pain, spreading along the thick tissue between the heel bone and the toes. The plantar fascia is the band of connective tissue that supports the bottom arch of the foot. In plantar fasciitis, the tissue experiences inflammation, resulting in heel pain in the form of a stabbing sensation. Here at ANEW Chiropractic, our Joliet chiropractor, Dr. Rubis, provides patients with information on plantar fasciitis and its treatment.
Medical experts are still researching the causes behind this condition. The current understanding of plantar fasciitis indicates that the disorder is due to a structural breakdown of feet tissue. Risk factors for plantar fasciitis may include obesity, flat feet, unequal leg length, high feet arches, excessive running, and prolonged periods of standing. Tight footwear also contributes to heel pain.
Detecting symptoms early on can help a patient receive better care. Symptoms of plantar fasciitis include sharp heel pain, foot swelling, tenderness, a clicking or snapping sound. Heel pain is more pronounced after long periods of rest followed by movement. People with plantar fasciitis report that the pain is at its worst when first walking out of bed. In some rare cases, numbness and tingling are reported symptoms.
