Conservative Plantar Fasciitis Treatment in La Quinta
Plantar fasciitis is a condition when the fascia on the bottom of your foot also known as the plantar fascia gets irritated and inflamed. This will be most sensitive in the morning when you step out of bed and can be caused by many things. It has a predilection for people between the age of 40 and 60, the largest age segment in our population.
Plantar fasciitis treatment can vary from practitioner to practitioner, but there is a growing consensus of opinion that plantar fasciitis is best treated non-surgically.
According to the American Academy of Sports Podiatrists and many other professionals there are biomechanical causes. These can be leg-length inequality (joint problem in pelvis), pronation of the subtalar joint (joint problem in ankle) restricted ankle joint dorsiflexion (joint problem in ankle), weakness of plantar flexion (muscle imbalance), high arched feet, low arched feet (orthodics) and heel strike shock. So, as you can see a well trained practitioner who works with the joints, muscles and low back will be able to address these issues.
For treatment one needs to treat the site of the pain (plantar fascia) but the source needs to be addressed. This is often a breakdown in the kinematic posterior chain. Dr. Hashimoto will evaluate the spine, pelvis, hips, knees, ankles, trigger points and muscle imbalances that can exacerbate plantar fasciitis.
Plantar fasciitis treatment time can be shortened because of our wide scope of therapy which includes: acupuncture, chiropractic, laser therapy and physical therapy.
