This tissue supports the foot’s arch and absorbs the stress of daily activities like walking and running. Repetitive strain, improper footwear, prolonged standing, or high-impact activities can cause tiny tears in the fascia, leading to sharp, stabbing heel pain. If you are suffering from these symptoms, it’s time to visit Midtown Back & Neck Center in St. Louis, MO.

With cutting-edge technology and a patient-centered approach, Midtown Back & Neck Center provides effective care to restore comfort and get you back on your feet.

Chiropractic Treatment Options

Chiropractic care effectively treats plantar fasciitis by addressing the root causes of heel pain, such as poor foot mechanics and misalignment. Dr. Crowley uses manual adjustments to realign the feet, ankles, and spine, reducing strain on the plantar fascia. Therapies like stretching exercises, soft tissue techniques, and advanced modalities further promote healing and relieve inflammation. This holistic, non-invasive approach improves mobility, reduces pain, and prevents recurrence, offering a safe and drug-free solution for long-term recovery.

Designing Your Treatment Plan

To determine if you have plantar fasciitis, Dr. Crowley begins with a thorough evaluation of your medical history and symptoms. He will perform a physical examination, checking for tenderness, swelling, and foot alignment issues. He will also assess the range of motion in your feet and ankles to pinpoint areas of tightness or dysfunction. This comprehensive assessment helps him determine the underlying cause of your pain and develop a personalized, non-invasive treatment plan for effective recovery.
