What Is Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain, resulting from inflammation of the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue that connects the heel to the toes. It often develops due to excessive strain from prolonged standing, high-impact activities, improper footwear, or foot structure issues. Without treatment, plantar fasciitis can lead to chronic pain and mobility problems.

Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis

  • Sharp, stabbing pain in the heel, especially in the morning or after rest

  • Increased pain after long periods of standing or walking

  • Heel tenderness and swelling

  • Stiffness in the foot, particularly after exercise

How We Treat Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis can make every step a struggle. At DBC of Texas, we understand your frustration. Our Fort Worth and Hurst clinics provide non-surgical solutions to help you get back on your feet and enjoy life pain-free.

We develop a personalized care plan to address the root cause of your plantar fasciitis, which may include:

  • Chiropractic Adjustments: Gentle adjustments to your feet and ankles can restore proper alignment, reducing strain on the plantar fascia ligament and alleviating pain. We also address any biomechanical issues in your spine and legs that may be contributing to your condition.

  • Physical Therapy: Our experienced physical therapists will guide you through targeted exercises and stretches to strengthen the muscles in your feet and calves, improve flexibility, and increase range of motion. This helps to support the arch of your foot and reduce stress on the plantar fascia.

  • Massage Therapy: Therapeutic massage techniques applied to your feet and calves can help reduce inflammation, improve blood flow, and break up adhesions in the plantar fascia, promoting healing and pain relief.

  • Neuromuscular Rehabilitation: We use specialized techniques to retrain your muscles and improve your movement patterns. This helps to correct imbalances, reduce abnormal stress on your feet, and prevent future flare-ups of plantar fasciitis.
