Plantar Fasciitis Treatment in Long Branch, NJRelieve Heel Pain. Support Your Foundation. Walk Without Discomfort.

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of foot and heel pain, especially in active adults, runners, and people who spend long hours on their feet. At New Life Chiropractic, we offer non-invasive, personalized care that addresses the root cause of plantar fasciitis—so you can walk, stand, and move without pain again.

**What Is Plantar Fasciitis?**Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia, a thick band of connective tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot, becomes irritated or inflamed. This condition is often caused by:

• Poor foot biomechanics

• Flat feet or high arches

• Improper footwear

• Prolonged standing or walking

• Tight calf or Achilles tendon muscles

• Misalignment in the feet, knees, or hips

• Overuse from sports or repetitive movement

The pain is often worst first thing in the morning or after long periods of inactivity.

Common Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis- Sharp, stabbing pain in the bottom of the heel

• Pain that worsens after rest or prolonged standing

• Discomfort that improves with movement, then returns later

• Swelling or tenderness in the arch or heel

• A sensation of tightness or pulling under the foot

Without proper care, plantar fasciitis can become a chronic issue, affecting posture, gait, and other joints like the knees and hips.

Our Chiropractic Approach to Heel Pain ReliefAt New Life Chiropractic, we take a biomechanical, full-body approach to treating plantar fasciitis. We assess how your feet, legs, hips, and spine are working together—and address the underlying imbalances contributing to the stress on your plantar fascia.

Your care plan may include:- **Chiropractic adjustments to correct misalignment in the feet, ankles, knees, and pelvis

• Soft tissue therapy to release tension in the plantar fascia and calves

• Targeted stretching and strengthening exercises to support long-term stability

• Custom orthotic recommendations to provide arch support and correct foot posture

• Posture and gait evaluation to improve movement mechanics

• Lifestyle and footwear guidance to reduce strain and prevent recurrence
