People who suffer from plantar fasciitis know how painful it can be and how disruptive it can be to their daily lifestyle. Fortunately, plantar fasciitis does not typically require surgery for correction. However, many people will try remedies such as icing and resting their feet to alleviate symptoms as well as taking over-the-counter pain relief medications. Although these remedies help reduce their pain, it does not help correct the condition itself.
Many studies have shown that chiropractic care on the ankle and feet joints can aid in the recovery of motion and greatly reduces the pain felt on the bottom of the foot. Since chiropractors aim to address the root cause of symptoms instead of focusing on just the pain relief (which is no doubt a goal), they aim to target the restrictions along the ankle joints that cause the tightness and strain along the foot. By regaining the full range of motion in the free moving portions of the foot and ankle, the symptoms of plantar fasciitis are greatly reduced and the overall function of the feet and ankle are increased.
