Plantar Fasciitis Relief at Sam’s Chiropractic Inc.
Plantar Fasciitis is one of the most common causes of foot pain, affecting nearly 80% of individuals who experience discomfort on the bottom of the foot or heel. This condition results from inflammation of the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. It is often described as a sharp, burning sensation near the heel, especially after long periods of standing or upon waking up in the morning.
At Sam’s Chiropractic Inc., we offer a comprehensive, non-invasive approach to treating Plantar Fasciitis. Through chiropractic care, physiotherapy techniques, and custom orthotics, we help reduce pain and restore proper foot function.

What Causes Plantar Fasciitis?
Several factors contribute to the development of Plantar Fasciitis, including:
Overuse & Repetitive Strain – Running, walking, or standing for extended periods can put excess stress on the plantar fascia.
Flat Feet or High Arches – Poor foot mechanics can strain the fascia and lead to inflammation.
Being Overweight – Excess weight increases pressure on the foot, worsening symptoms.
Improper Footwear – Wearing unsupportive shoes can contribute to arch collapse and plantar fascia irritation.
Tight Calf Muscles & Achilles Tendon – Limited flexibility in the calves and Achilles can lead to increased foot tension and pain.
If left untreated, Plantar Fasciitis can worsen over time, leading to chronic pain, heel spurs, and nerve entrapment.
Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar Fasciitis pain is typically:
Most severe in the morning – Many people experience a sharp pain when taking their first steps out of bed.
Felt in the heel and arch – Pain is commonly located near the bottom of the heel and along the arch of the foot.
Worse after long periods of standing or activity – Extended walking, running, or standing can intensify symptoms.
Relieved temporarily with movement – While light stretching may help ease discomfort, the pain often returns.
Effective Plantar Fasciitis Treatment Options
At Sam’s Chiropractic Inc., we use a multi-faceted approach to relieve pain and restore proper foot function.
1. Chiropractic Adjustments & Joint Mobilization
- Chiropractic care helps improve foot alignment and relieve tension in the ankle, knee, and lower back—all of which can affect foot mechanics.
- Adjustments also enhance circulation and healing in the inflamed plantar fascia.
2. Physiotherapy & Stretching Techniques
- Targeted stretching exercises for the plantar fascia, Achilles tendon, and calf muscles help relieve tension and improve flexibility.
- Soft tissue therapy helps reduce inflammation and break down adhesions in the fascia.
3. Custom Orthotics for Arch Support
Many cases of Plantar Fasciitis result from improper foot support. Custom orthotics help distribute weight evenly, reducing stress on the plantar fascia.
Orthotics can correct flat feet or high arches, preventing future foot injuries.
4. At-Home Treatment & Lifestyle Adjustments
To further support recovery, we recommend:
- Morning foot stretches to reduce pain before getting out of bed.
- Icing the heel to reduce inflammation and soreness.
- Wearing proper footwear with adequate arch support and cushioning.
