Plantar Fasciitis Treatment in Buffalo, NY
Effective Relief for Heel and Foot Pain
Understanding Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is a chronic inflammation of the thick band of tissue (plantar fascia) that runs along the bottom of your foot, connecting your heel bone to your toes. This condition is often caused by repetitive strain injuries to the ligament of the sole and is one of the most common orthopedic complaints due to the wear and tear experienced by the plantar fascia ligament.
Our Therapeutic Modalities
At West Buffalo Chiropractic, we offer several methods to treat plantar fasciitis:
- Shockwave Therapy: A painless, quick, non-invasive treatment that uses waves to travel through the heel skin to locate inflamed tissue, triggering the body's natural healing process and promoting the formation of new blood vessels.
- Chiropractic Adjustments: Adjusting your ankles, feet, knees, hips, and spine to alleviate pressure on the bottom of your feet, reducing foot pain and promoting healing.
- Stretches and Exercises: Guided stretches and movements to relieve pain and inflammation at the bottom of your feet, aiding in the treatment of plantar fasciitis.
