Diagnosing Plantar Fasciitis Through Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care can be beneficial in diagnosing and treating plantar fasciitis. Chiropractors can perform physical exams, muscle stimulation and ultrasound to detect any tenderness along the length of the fascia and any other associated signs of inflammation or irritation.

The chiropractor can then use hands-on treatments such as spinal manipulation and stretching exercises to reduce inflammation, improve mobility and strengthen muscles. These treatments help reduce pain and symptoms associated with plantar fasciitis so the patient can return to everyday life.
