Stop just "managing" your foot pain. It’s time to fix it for good! 🦶💥
If you’ve been battling Plantar Fasciitis, rolling your foot on a frozen water bottle isn't going to cut it anymore. Real relief requires an integrated approach.
Watch how we combine precise adjustments, soft tissue scraping (Graston Technique), and advanced SPRT taping to take the pressure off your heel and get you moving pain-free again.
The specialist emphasizes an interdisciplinary and integrated treatment approach combining chiropractic care, soft tissue manipulation, physical exercises, taping, and myofascial release.
Treatment Steps Breakdown
Biomechanical Assessment & Chiropractic Care
The first step is checking for joint dysfunction or abnormal movement patterns (pathomechanics) in the foot, ankle, knee, or hip.
Adjustments are made to ensure a correct kinetic alignment.
Tissue Lengthening (Graston Technique)
Tension in the calf muscles strains the plantar fascia, exacerbating inflammation. Lengthening these tissues is crucial.
To achieve this, a lotion lubricant is applied before using a stainless steel instrument (the Graston Technique).
This scraping breaks down internal scar tissue and adhesions, improves tissue elasticity, and increases local blood flow to promote healing.
Orthotics & Arch Support
If the patient needs to stand or walk extensively during recovery, custom-molded orthotics (footbeds) are recommended.
These feature a special cutout and additional padding beneath the heel to relieve direct pressure on the inflamed plantar fascia or a heel spur.
Stretching and Icing
Routine stretching and applying ice are recommended as foundational home and office care to reduce active inflammation.
Kinesio and Rigid Taping (SPRT Taping)
For quick and effective pain relief, a combination of flexible Kinesio tape and structural rigid tape (Sport Specific Taping / SPRT) is used.
The tape is strategically wrapped around the Achilles tendon and heel to mechanically pull the heel forward.
This shortens the underlying tissues and creates a "dimpling" effect under the foot, which offloads the direct tension from the plantar fascia. This wrap can typically be left on for 3 to 5 days, even while showering.
