The Pain of Plantar Fasciitis in Coon Rapids MN

Plantar fasciitis is a painful inflammation of the plantar fascia, a band of tissue that supports the medial arch of your foot. This support is critical as you rest your entire body weight on your feet, whether you're standing still or in motion. There are three arches in the foot and if the arches fall the plantar fasciitis in the foot will have to stretch to accommodate the loss in arch and then starts to ache. Unfortunately, even a small imbalance in your weight distribution can contribute to the formation of micro-tears in the plantar fascia. As this damage accumulates, it creates a state of chronic inflammation that usually feels worst when you first rest your feet on the floor in the morning. But "walking it off" only brings temporary, minimal relief. Plantar fasciitis may be caused or worsened by:

• Extended periods of standing in place, especially in shift workers
• Overuse injuries due to over-training (in runners and other athletes)
• Footwear that throws the body off balance or fails to support the arches adequately (notably high heels)
• A musculoskeletal misalignment that places unequal weight on the feet
• Obesity, which adds to the weight burden on the arches
• Being born with or developing either "flat feet" or high arches
• Chiropractic Care and Other Forms of Foot Pain Relief

If you have no choice but to spend most of your days on your feet, you may feel that you have no choice but to gobble anti-inflammatory painkillers. But while these drugs may ease your short-term suffering, you're only continuing to damage your feet until you address the underlying causes and triggers of your plantar fasciitis. That's where Caring Chiropractic Center can come to the rescue.

We can then offer the appropriate mix of treatments to provide real, lasting foot pain relief. You may benefit from:
