Plantar Fasciitis Chiropractor Adelaide | Plympton Park

The worst pain of the day is the first few steps each morning. It eases as you get moving, then creeps back after you have been sitting a while.

Sharp heel pain with your first steps in the morning is one of the most recognised features of plantar fasciitis, and it often eases with movement before returning after rest (Goff and Crawford, 2011, American Family Physician).

A thorough assessment helps identify what may be contributing. Research suggests manual therapy may help manage plantar heel pain (Fraser et al., 2017, Journal of Manual and Manipulative Therapy). Individual responses vary.

By the end of a long shift or a big day standing, the bottom of your heel is throbbing. You find yourself shifting your weight to the outside of the foot.

Research suggests manual therapy and tailored exercise may help manage plantar heel pain (Mischke et al., 2016, Journal of Manual and Manipulative Therapy). Individual responses vary.
