Plantar Fasciitis Treatment in Ringwood, Hampshire

Yes! You Can Get Natural Relief from Foot Pain at South Coast Chiropractic

Are your first steps in the morning met with sharp heel pain that makes you wince? You may be experiencing plantar fasciitis, a common condition where the thick band of tissue connecting your heel to your toes becomes inflamed. At South Coast Chiropractic, we understand this isn’t just about foot pain – a chiropractic approach looks at your biomechanics and overall movement and function to get you lasting results.

Early Warning Signs of Plantar Fasciitis

Don’t wait until your morning heel pain becomes severe before seeking help. Early warning signs often appear gradually and may include:

Your feet feel more tired than usual at the end of the day. This fatigue often starts as a mild ache that you might brush off as normal.

You might notice slight tenderness in your heel when pressing on it, or a dull ache after sitting for long periods. Some people first notice discomfort after exercise rather than in the morning. These subtle signs often indicate that your plantar fascia is under increased stress.

Many people also notice their shoes wearing unevenly, particularly on the outer edge of the heel. This uneven wear pattern can signal biomechanical issues that may lead to plantar fasciitis if not addressed.

You might also notice that you’re frequently shifting your weight while standing, or that one foot feels different from the other when walking.

How Poor Biomechanics Develop

Poor biomechanics often develop gradually over time, usually without us noticing. Think about your daily routine – perhaps you carry a heavy bag on the same shoulder every day, stand with your weight shifted to one side, or sit with your legs crossed for hours at your desk. These seemingly harmless habits can create muscle imbalances and shift your body’s alignment.

When your spine isn’t properly aligned, it changes how you distribute weight through your feet. This might cause you to put more pressure on your heels or walk with an altered gait to avoid discomfort. Over time, these compensations stress your plantar fascia and contribute to inflammation and pain.

Understanding Plantar Fasciitis: A Whole-Body Perspective

While traditional treatments focus solely on the foot, the truth is that plantar fasciitis often signals a larger problem involving your body’s entire support system. Your feet are the foundation of your body, and their function is intimately connected to your spine and nervous system. Common causes include:

Pelvic Imbalances: Creating uneven weight distribution

Improper Foot Mechanics: Leading to stress on the plantar fascia

Tight Calf Muscles: Pulling on the heel and foot tissues

Worn or Improper Footwear: Providing inadequate support

Occupational Stress: Standing for long periods

Weight-Related Pressure: Increasing strain on feet

Your nervous system plays a crucial role in foot function, controlling everything from muscle activation to balance and coordination. When spinal misalignments interfere with nerve communication, it can disrupt proper foot mechanics and cause postural imbalances. This is why our approach includes ensuring proper spinal alignment to optimise nerve function throughout your body.

Comprehensive Treatment Approach in Ringwood

Our treatment plan addresses both immediate pain relief and the underlying factors contributing to your plantar fasciitis. We begin with a thorough examination of your spine, posture, and walking pattern to identify all contributing factors. Your personalised care plan may include:

Recovery from plantar fasciitis requires consistent care and attention to daily habits. We may teach you effective exercises and stretches you can do at home, particularly for your feet and calves, to support your healing process. We may recommend additional therapies or techniques including:

Soft tissue therapy for tight muscles
Red light or cold laser therapy
Nutritional support for tissue healing
Specific icing protocols to reduce inflammation
Proper footwear choices for your foot type
Night splints or other supportive devices
Tips for supporting your feet during exercise, at work, or during daily activities

Our goal is not only to relieve your current pain but to help prevent future episodes by addressing the root causes of your plantar fasciitis. Through proper spinal care, attention to biomechanics, and supportive therapies, many of our patients find lasting relief from foot pain.

Remember, addressing plantar fasciitis early is crucial for preventing chronic foot problems. Our team at South Coast Chiropractic is ready to help you get back on your feet, comfortably and confidently

Absolutely brilliant!! If you’re considering going to south coast chiropractors, my advice is (do it) you won’t regret it. I went to a few other places before arriving at south coast chiropractors and just felt like I was part of a payment plan and not a recovery plan. Chris is brilliant and I see Ella too who is also very good. Very helpful, friendly and to be honest I’m just very glad I found them. I’ve been in a lot of back pain for a very long time and it’s now actually getting a lot better Thanks to everyone at south coast chiropractors. Thank you Lee

Lovely clinic, everyone super welcoming from Kelly on the front desk to Chris who helped sort my neck and headache pain. Also received massage treatment from Ella who was also super helpful!

Attended a migraine and headache talk and it was brilliant! Chris was super informative, professional and easily approachable and friendly, We will be booking in for treatment and be back for other talks in the future.

Chris is great, very knowledgeable and has really helped with my hip pain. He explained everything and talked me through the session. A very welcoming and friendly experience. Will definitely be returning. Thanks Chris.

South Coast Chiropractic is fantastic! From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with an incredibly personable and friendly atmosphere, you'll feel like you've known everyone for years! Dr. Chris Braxton truly cares and takes the time to understand your needs, not just treat symptoms. After struggling with pain in my shoulder I had tried various sports massages, I finally found relief here. Highly professional, effective treatments, and a personal touch that makes all the difference. Chris identified my problem in the first session and has been giving sound advice and treatment from day one. I couldn't recommend this enough! If you are struggling then you won't regret going to South Coast Chiropractic.
