Plantar Fasciitis

-
Ever wonder why your feet just ache and burn? You wake up from bed in the morning and walk and you feel like your muscles are tearing. You wonder why sometimes it’s only on one foot but it can be on both feet too.  You’re in luck! You probably have a chronic case of Plantar Fasciitis. Now, separating this condition from severe ankle sprain, bunions, foot surgery to repair broken bones, and the first week of ballet dancing you will know if you have Plantar Fasciitis if the sole of your foot from behind the ball of your feet (commonly where your toes meet your feet) to the inside edge of your heel bone follow that up around the back side of your heel into your achilles tendon and sometimes finishing in your calf. Millions of people suffer with this every year. They try treatments to resolve it such as: super expensive prescribed foot orthotics, special socks, night splints, sports creams, which, unfortunately, have minimal resolution for plantar fasciitis pain. Some individuals will go as far as getting high powered ultrasound procedures on the bottom of their feet which also results in minimal resolutions. Others may seek out physical therapy trying to stretch and strengthen the problem away. They’re probably met with a 30% success rate. Springs Family Chiropractic has the best solution for you. Our Plantar Fasciitis protocols have a 90% success rate. And you don’t have to use night splints, unique socks, orthotics, or smelly sports creams.

Let’s teach you a little about this first. Your foot and ankle have 28 bones. These bones take on extreme forces when we walk and run, up to 5 times your body weight. When our bones in the foot, ankle, lower leg or knee misalign, ligaments are deformed causing muscles to spasm, in an attempt to stabilize the structure. At the same time, muscles begin a compensating movement pattern. This means friction builds up between the muscles that are over working. The inflammation around the overworked muscles turns into scar tissue, adhering the muscles to your connective tissues and bones. The scar tissue keeps you in a compensating pattern of pain motion restriction and compensating foot and leg movements. This is why all of the previous methods mentioned before have minimal success. Stretching and strengthening can’t fix misaligned bone s and scar tissue.
At Springs Family Chiropractic we use the top multidisciplinary protocols that combine conventional medical methods, physiotherapy, and chiropractic manipulations. First, we do a comprehensive physical examination, identifying abnormal mechanics in the pelvis knees ankle and feet. Second, we do chiropractic manipulations aligning all the misaligned joints in the pelvis, knees, ankles and feet correcting abnormal mechanical compensations. Third, we use physiotherapy to break up scar tissue and decrease inflammation. Fourth, we use neuromuscular reeducation to reteach the body how to move with better mechanics to become stronger and more mobile. Fifth and lastly, we do maintenance care to sustain optimal movements, sports performance, and work abilities. Patients commonly see resolution in these problems in three to four weeks. Depending on their lifestyle and schedule and availability. If this applies to you, you can call to schedule a new patient examination for $25. You can even go onto our website and print out our new patient forms so we can get you relief today.

DECOMPRESSION THERAPY

If you have suffered a recent car accident, trip and fall, sports collision, or repetitive work injury, you may be having some joint problems in the spine and neck we have joints that are connected together with ligaments but in the spine we have a total of nine surrounding each bone. These ligaments are designed to maintain stability for the spinal column so that the bones do not misalign and compress, pinch, or sever the spinal cord, which would impair oxygen, blood and energy control to our organs and muscles. In our spine and neck we also have discs. These discs are called intervertebral discs. The discs are primarily cartilage on the outside with a center that is a gel water substance. Our discs act as shock absorbers when we walk, run or jump to allow forces to be spread out along our spine. These discs also allow space between each bone in the spine for nerves to exit out into the body. All of these ligaments and discs can be injured once or repetitively. Bones will shift out o...

Do your kids jump from the couch, the bed, the stairs, like they’re acrobats? Or stunt doubles in a movie? This is pretty common for kids under youthful energy and fearless minds. Do you have babies or infants that can’t move their head very well or are hitting their head against the crib or always grabbing their neck or head with their hands? Parents see this activity in a baby or infant can be stressful or unsettling. Do your children have allergies or they seem to be sick all the time? This can be sad and frustrating for a child and the parent. A child’s life does not have to stay this way with struggles of health and physical ability. Children get exposed to many different forms of stress as do adults. We expect kids to be resilient, young, and tress free. However they really do have daily stressors that effect the functioning of their nervous system and their health. We’re going to review some of these stressors and how to correct them at your local chiropractic clinic. Fi...

Arthritis Solution!

Do you suffer from arthritis in your wrists, shoulder, back, hips, knees, or feet? What is really occurring is that the joints have been misaligned, creating abnormal wear and tear on the joints, ligaments, and cartilage. Unfortunately, this can occur from physical, ,chemical, or emotional events that cause stress to our bodies. Once the joint is misaligned, it is unable to self-correct. It does not matter if you stretch, exercise, massage the joints, take pain pills, take vitamins, ice, take a hot bath, or try to sleep it off. The joints will stay misaligned. In time, this becomes osteoarthritis. Doctors have proven that a satisfactory treatment for arthritis is exercise, which gets the joints moving and increases oxygen and blood to the joints, which in turn decreases inflammation. Unfortunately, this does not correct the problem and does not stop the progression of arthritis. Doctors have found the best treatment for arthritis in our joints-a combination of...
