What happens if Plantar Fasciitis goes untreated?

Plantar Fasciitis Treatment
Plantar fasciitis treatment are effective but requires taking home exercises to stretch the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon. Stretching these areas will make the symptoms less severe and less likely to recur. Our chiropractor or physiotherapists at our Burlington clinic can assess you during the first visit and start treating the injury during the same appointment. It will involve some exercises such as strengthening and manual therapy. These exercises should focus on the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon, which connect the toes to the heel bone.
Our Burlington chiropractor help you strengthen your lower leg muscles to help stabilize the ankle. In addition to stretching, shock wave therapy or similar may be used to reduce the force placed on the tissue when walking. The use of a tennis ball is also effective in treating foot pain such as plantar fasciitis. The most common form of treatment involves a combination of conservative methods and physical therapy.
Foot Pain Recovery
While most patients will recover from plantar fasciitis on their own within a year, it is important to seek medical advice if symptoms persist for more than a few weeks. An ultrasound of the foot can reveal a thickened plantar fascia, which could be an indication of inflammatory changes. If the patient continues to have symptoms, it is best to seek medical treatment. However, there is no one specific treatment for plantar fasciitis.

I’m feeling very supported during my recovery….
On the advice of a friend, I reached out and booked a series of appointments with their occupational therapist, Lori; physiotherapist, Abida; and their naturopath, Dr. Galantai to help with recovering from a concussion. It has been an excellent experience! They are all incredible practitioners.
This is the first time I’ve ever experienced a longer term injury and their genuine, individualized care has really lessened my stress. I’m feeling very supported during my recovery and highly recommend their clinic. I credit my continual improvement to the holistic way I’m getting treatment for my symptoms and am very grateful.
