A Smarter Approach to Heel Pain
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, often making the first steps in the morning especially uncomfortable. It can affect daily activities like walking, exercising, or even standing for extended periods.
At Broadstone Chiropractic, Dr. Jandy Collins focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying causes of foot pain. By evaluating movement patterns, alignment, and contributing factors throughout the body, she helps patients find relief while improving overall function and stability.
Common Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis often develops due to a combination of stress, movement patterns, and biomechanical factors.
Common contributing factors include:
• Poor foot mechanics or arch support
• Tight calf muscles or limited ankle mobility
• Prolonged standing or walking on hard surfaces
• Changes in activity level or exercise routines
• Improper footwear
• Compensation patterns from other areas of the body
Addressing these underlying issues is key to achieving lasting relief.
Relief That Goes Beyond the Foot
While plantar fasciitis presents as foot pain, the cause often involves the way the entire body moves. Dr. Collins takes a comprehensive approach to care, focusing not only on the foot, but also on the ankles, knees, hips, and spine.
Care may include:
• Gentle chiropractic adjustments
• Soft tissue techniques for the foot and lower leg
• Mobility and stretching recommendations
• Guidance on footwear and daily habits
This approach helps reduce strain on the plantar fascia while supporting long-term healing and function.
What to Expect
Care begins with a thorough understanding of each patient’s symptoms, activity level, and goals.
During the visit, Dr. Collins will:
• Review health history and current symptoms
• Assess foot mechanics, posture, and movement patterns
• Evaluate related areas such as the ankles, knees, and hips
• Develop a personalized care plan
Each step is explained clearly, ensuring patients feel informed and confident in their care.
Long-Term Relief and Prevention
Many patients find that ongoing care helps not only relieve pain, but also prevent it from returning.
Ongoing care may help:
• Improve foot and ankle mobility
• Reduce strain on the plantar fascia
• Support better movement patterns
• Prevent recurring flare-ups
• Maintain an active, comfortable lifestyle
The goal at Broadstone Chiropractic is to help patients move well, stay active, and avoid future setbacks.
