Plantar Fasciitis and Treatment with Our Thousand Oaks Chiropractor
Plantar fasciitis causes pain in the heel that can be so severe that trying to walk is torture. This pain creates a shooting or stabbing pain, making it almost impossible to ignore.
The main cause of plantar fasciitis is believed to be the irritation of the band of connective tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. However, there are many things that can cause this irritation. Jobs that require you to stand all day long, overly-rigid arches, flat arches, bad or worn-out footwear, and accidents like falls can all set it off.
When you start to get plantar fasciitis, you'll almost surely unconsciously alter your gait to try to reduce the pain. Unfortunately, this can cause other problems with your musculoskeletal system such as misalignments of the vertebrae and other bones.
A chiropractor who treats plantar fasciitis in Thousand Oaks will focus on the root causes of the condition. These can include improper tension in the foot, problems with your gait, and misalignments caused by accidents and other trauma. When these issues are resolved, your plantar fasciitis should be improved. Even better, the chance of it returning is reduced.
If it turns out that poor footwear caused your plantar fasciitis; that will be the first thing the doctor will have you change. However, more treatments will likely be needed to correct issues that resulted from the unconscious alterations you have made to your gait.
There are multiple methods your chiropractor can use for plantar fasciitis treatment in Thousand Oaks. In most cases, a treatment plan will use more than one of these techniques. Therapeutic massage and corrective stretches can bring immediate improvement to your pain, while spinal and joint adjustments will help keep it from coming back.
