Written By Genesis Physical Medicine and Chiropractic on September 9, 2024

This condition can make everyday activities like walking or standing very painful. Genesis Physical Medicine and Chiropractic offers several treatment options, including chiropractic care, laser therapy, and shockwave therapy, offer effective relief for plantar fasciitis sufferers in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

Chiropractic Care to Correct Misalignments

Our chiropractors can help alleviate plantar fasciitis pain by addressing biomechanical imbalances in the feet and lower extremities. They begin with a thorough examination to identify any misalignments or abnormalities in the feet, ankles, or hips that may contribute to the condition. Chiropractic adjustments can help correct these misalignments, improving foot mechanics and reducing strain on the plantar fascia.

Laser Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis

Low-level laser therapy, also known as cold laser therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that uses light energy to accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation. Laser therapy penetrates the skin and soft tissues to stimulate cellular activity and promote healing. This treatment is painless and can significantly reduce pain and inflammation, often providing relief after just a few sessions.

Shockwave Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis

Extracorporeal shockwave therapy is another non-invasive option offered by Genesis Physical Medicine and Chiropractic for plantar fasciitis treatment. This treatment involves delivering high-energy shockwaves to the affected area, promoting blood flow and stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. Shockwave therapy can break down scar tissue and adhesions, reduce inflammation, and accelerate tissue regeneration. Many patients experience relief from their symptoms after just a few treatments.
