Plantar Fasciitis Relief in Midtown NYC
If you wake up in the morning and feel a sharp pain in your heel with those first few steps, you may be dealing with plantar fasciitis. This common and frustrating condition can make standing, walking, or exercising uncomfortable, especially for busy New Yorkers who are always on the move. Midtown NYC chiropractor, Dr. Robert Shire, provides natural, effective solutions to help relieve heel pain and restore your ability to move with comfort and confidence.
What Is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis occurs when the thick band of tissue (the plantar fascia) running along the bottom of your foot becomes irritated or inflamed. This tissue supports the arch of your foot and absorbs shock with every step. Over time, repetitive strain, poor footwear, flat feet, or even tight calf muscles can cause small tears in the fascia, leading to pain that is often worse in the morning or after long periods of rest.
While plantar fasciitis is common among runners and people who spend long hours on their feet, it can affect anyone, especially if the body’s alignment or gait is off balance.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
You might not think of seeing a chiropractor for foot pain, but the body’s alignment starts from the ground up. Misalignments in the feet, ankles, knees, or hips can create extra stress on the plantar fascia. Through gentle chiropractic adjustments, Dr. Shire helps correct these imbalances and improve overall body mechanics.
As Dr. Shire explains, “When your body is aligned, your movements become more efficient, pressure is reduced, and healing can happen naturally.” By restoring proper alignment and nerve flow, chiropractic care can ease inflammation, support tissue repair, and prevent future strain.
Custom Orthotics for Lasting Relief
In many cases, custom-fitted orthotics play a key role in recovery. Because the feet are the foundation of the body, supporting them properly can help relieve pressure on the plantar fascia and improve alignment throughout the entire kinetic chain, from the ankles to the spine. Dr. Shire provides precision orthotics designed to match your unique foot structure and movement patterns, offering the right balance of comfort, support, and stability.
Combined with chiropractic adjustments, orthotics can significantly reduce heel pain, prevent recurring inflammation, and make daily movement easier and more natural.
