What Causes Plantar Fasciitis?

1. Overuse or Excessive Activity

Think of your plantar fascia as a spring. The foot can become overloaded from constant stress from running or just spending too much time standing or walking on hard surfaces. Over time, the fascia can develop small tears, leading to irritation and pain. This is common in people who suddenly increase their activity levels.

2. Foot Mechanics and Structure

Your foot structure can make you more prone to plantar fasciitis. People with flat feet (low arches) or high arches tend to put extra stress on the plantar fascia. If you have flat feet, no support beneath the arch forces your plantar fascia to work harder. On the other hand, if you have high arches, your feet can less absorb the impact of walking or running, making the fascia more vulnerable to injury.

3. Unsupportive Footwear

Shoes that don’t provide enough support, especially in the arch, heavily contribute to heel pain. Think of it like walking barefoot on a hard surface all day. There’s no cushion to absorb the impact, and the plantar fascia takes the brunt of the pressure. High heels or flip-flops with little arch support are also problematic.

4. Age and Natural “Wear and Tear”

The plantar fascia becomes less flexible and more prone to injury as we age. The tissue may lose some elasticity, like a rubber band that gets brittle over time. Plantar fasciitis is most common in people between 40 and 60, as years of use can damage and degenerate the fascia.

5. Excess Weight

Extra body weight strains the plantar fascia like a bridge carrying too many cars. However you look at it, the more weight you carry, the harder the plantar fascia has to work to support your feet, which increases the risk of injury and inflammation.

6. Standing or Walking on Hard Surfaces

People who spend long hours on their feet, particularly on hard surfaces like concrete, are more likely to develop plantar fasciitis. As a result, the repeated stress exerted on the feet causes the plantar fascia to stretch and strain over time.

Our Plantar Fasciitis Treatment Services

  1. Chiropractic Adjustments: Our chiropractors specialize in gentle and effective adjustments. Chiropractic improves the function of your feet and ankles. This can relieve pressure on the plantar fascia and promote natural healing.
  2. Shockwave Therapy: We offer targeted, cutting-edge Shockwave therapy to relieve the inflammation in the plantar fascia and stimulate the healing of the irritated muscles, tendons, and ligaments in your feet, reducing the strain on the plantar fascia.
  3. Low-Level Laser Therapy: Low-level laser therapy is a painless, fast, and effective treatment for many conditions, including Plantar Fasciitis. It is minimally invasive and reduces inflammation and pain in ligaments (like the plantar fascia) and tendons. It does so by stimulating the production of ATP, which fuels the cells in the area treated, stimulating healing and blood flow (which reduces inflammation)!
  4. Custom Orthotics: If necessary, we can provide custom orthotic insoles to support and cushion your feet, relieving pain and promoting proper alignment. However, many of our patients find great relief with Power Step Orthotics. These high-quality inserts come in multiple styles and (of course) sizes.

This special discount code is available to anyone, and you don’t have to be a patient at our office to save money on these great orthotics!
