Care for Plantar Fasciitis in Joondalup & Yanchep
At Biotune Chiropractic, we provide chiropractic care that supports whole-body wellbeing. While chiropractic is often associated with spinal health, many people seek our care for a variety of musculoskeletal issues. One condition some patients inquire about is plantar fasciitis, a common source of foot and heel discomfort.
What Is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis involves irritation or inflammation of the plantar fascia, a band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. It’s often associated with heel pain that may feel worse in the morning or after periods of rest. Some individuals also notice discomfort when flexing the foot or toes upwards. A tight Achilles tendon may contribute to increased tension in the affected area.
Recognising the Signs
Common signs of plantar fasciitis can include:
- Sharp or aching pain in the heel or foot, especially when taking the first steps after rest
- Discomfort that may improve with gentle movement
- In some cases, sensations such as tingling, radiating discomfort, or mild swelling
Supporting Foot and Biomechanical Health
Chiropractors are trained to assess the musculoskeletal system and may use manual techniques to address joint function, muscle tension, and body mechanics. While chiropractic care is not a treatment for plantar fasciitis specifically, some individuals with foot or lower limb concerns choose to explore chiropractic care as part of their broader health management.
Our approach may include:
- Assessing overall posture and movement patterns
- Addressing areas of joint restriction or muscle tension that could contribute to mechanical strain
- Offering general advice on lifestyle habits, footwear, and ergonomic setup where relevant
Care recommendations are tailored to your specific needs and preferences. If appropriate, we may also suggest working alongside other healthcare providers such as podiatrists or physiotherapists.
