Plantar Fasciitis
Conditions We Treat / Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar Fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain.
Plantar Fasciitis presents with a sharp stabbing pain in the first couple of steps in the morning or following any period of prolonged inactivity.
If you've dealt with plantar fasciitis in the past, you know how debilitating it feels.
Not being able to enjoy the outdoors, having difficulty walking/ running, and always having that thought of not being sure you'll ever get back to normal are thoughts that may have crossed your mind.
Who is at risk of developing plantar fasciitis?
• Distance runners
• Triathletes
• Track & Field athletes
• Tennis players
• Pickleball players
• Middle aged-women
Why do people experience plantar fasciitis?
Pain is a result of a multitude of factors, and is never a result of just one thing. These are some factors that could be contributing to your presentation.
• Pes planus (fallen arch)
• A sudden increase in training demand
• Change in running surface
• Biomechanical flaws
How to properly manage plantar fasciitis?
Adequately managing plantar fasciitis can be a challenge. The trick is in properly modifying activity, rather than discontinuing any physical activity.
People suffering from plantar fasciitis may need to temporarily reduce the amount of physical activity that exacerbates symptoms, including jumping, running, and sprinting.
Once you find a tolerable level of activity, you should not increase the intensity by more than 10% per week.
If running is unbearable, try less strenuous activities such as swimming, cycling, and elliptical machines.
How do we treat plantar fasciitis at Kinesis Chiropractic?
In our Davie & Weston Chiropractic office, we take a detailed history of your injury and perform a thorough examination of your foot to determine if you truly have plantar fasciitis.

The best treatment outcomes for plantar fasciitis are achieved by combining a multitude of techniques:
• Chiropractic adjustments
• Soft tissue treatment
• Exercise rehabilitation
"Dr. Tito does not operate like an ordinary chiropractor! He runs a thorough evaluation and starts addressing the problem immediately.
For example, my shoulder and plantar fasciitis were bothering me far more than my upper back and neck. A chiropractor that works on shoulders and feet too??? Within a matter of 2 visits, my shoulder and foot saw immediate improvement regarding mobility, pain, and overall feel.
10 out of 10 would recommend Dr. Tito to my family and friends as quick as someone I don’t even know!"
