What Is Plantar Fasciitis — and How Do We Treat It?

Plantar fasciitis is irritation of the plantar fascia, the band of tissue along the bottom of your foot that supports your arch and absorbs shock with every step. It typically develops from a combination of stress, overuse, and movement dysfunction, and often causes sharp heel pain with your first steps in the morning. At North Atlanta Spine we combine soft tissue work, assisted stretching, chiropractic adjustments, gait correction, and shockwave therapy to reduce the stress on the fascia and restore healthy movement.

Foot Mechanics & Movement

Heel pain is often the end of a chain reaction. Tight calves, limited ankle mobility, and poor foot mechanics push extra load onto the plantar fascia with every step. Treating only the heel misses the source.

FAQ

FAQs About Plantar Fasciitis

Reducing stress on the fascia and improving movement patterns are the keys to lasting relief.

Many people improve with consistent, targeted care, and early treatment tends to lead to faster results. You'll leave your first visit with a recovery timeline built around your case.

Supportive footwear that reduces strain on the arch is important. We'll look at your footwear along with your foot mechanics at your visit and tell you what makes sense for your feet and activities.
