Treatment for Plantar Fasciitis in Edmonton, Alberta
What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain especially among people who are on their feet for long periods. It occurs when the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that connects your heel bone to your toes, becomes inflamed or strained. Plantar fasciitis usually develops from overuse, poor footwear or flat feet. The pain from this condition can range from mild discomfort to severe pain, especially after long periods of standing or walking. If left untreated plantar fasciitis pain can get worse and lead to more chronic issues.
Plantar fasciitis is caused by too much pressure on the foot’s connective tissue. This can cause micro tears in the tissue which leads to inflammation and pain. It’s a common complaint for people with flat feet, poor footwear or who are on their feet for extended periods. The most common symptom of plantar fasciitis is a sharp stabbing pain near the heel which is usually worse in the morning or after sitting for long periods.

Plantar Fasciitis Treatment at Pulse Health
At Pulse Health we have a holistic approach to treating plantar fasciitis. On your first visit, our chiropractor will perform a full assessment of your feet, looking at your posture, gait and foot structure. We will then develop a customized treatment plan to address your specific needs and goals. Using manual therapy, massage therapy and targeted exercises we help reduce foot pain and speed up the recovery process.
1. Initial Assessment: We start with a full assessment of your condition, identifying factors that may be contributing to your heel pain. This includes looking at your foot structure, gait and any previous injuries that may be contributing to your symptoms.
2. Treatment Plan Development: Based on our findings we develop a customized treatment plan to suit your specific needs. This will include manual therapy, stretching exercises and possible adjustments to reduce inflammation and increase blood flow to the affected area.
3. Soft Tissue Release: To reduce pain and tension in the plantar fascia we perform soft tissue release techniques to target the inflamed areas. This relieves connective tissue tension and reduces the discomfort associated with plantar fasciitis.
4. Stretching and Strengthening Exercises: As part of your treatment we’ll guide you through specific stretches and strengthening exercises to improve the flexibility of your feet and ankles. These exercises help prevent plantar fasciitis from recurring.
