Plantar Fasciitis Treatment

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel and foot pain, and it can make every step of your day miserable. At Peak Performance Chiropractic Center, we treat patients from Burnsville, Savage, Apple Valley, and across the south metro who are dealing with persistent heel pain and want a solution that goes beyond rest and stretching.

What Causes Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia — the thick band of tissue running along the bottom of your foot — becomes inflamed due to repetitive stress or overload. Common contributing factors include tight calf muscles and Achilles tendons, poor foot mechanics or arch support, sudden increases in activity level, prolonged standing on hard surfaces, and gait abnormalities that transfer excess stress to the heel. Left untreated, the condition can become chronic and may lead to compensatory pain in the knees, hips, and lower back.

How We Treat Plantar Fasciitis at Peak Performance

We take a whole-body approach to plantar fasciitis, addressing not just the foot but the kinetic chain contributing to it. Treatment typically includes IASTM to break down scar tissue and adhesions in the plantar fascia and calf muscles, StemWave therapy to stimulate tissue regeneration and reduce chronic inflammation, chiropractic adjustments to the foot, ankle, and lower extremity joints to restore proper mechanics, and corrective exercises to strengthen the foot and lower leg and address movement dysfunctions. Many patients see significant improvement within just a few weeks of starting care.
