Plantar Fascia is a ligament that is located along the bottom of the foot from the heel to the toes and supports your arch. The most common location of pain is right at the heel. It’s often described it as a stabbing pain but because this condition comes on gradually, it can be described as a tight feeling or dull ache.
How can I find out if I might have Plantar Fasciitis in Naples, FL?
Since it is a musculoskeletal condition, Doctor of Chiropractic specialize in not only diagnosing these types of conditions, but also treating them. A diagnosis of Plantar Fasciitis can usually be made from reviewing your medical history and performing a clinical examination.
