Plantar Fasciitis Treatment Specialist in San Ramon, CA

The fastest way to cure plantar fasciitis varies from person to person, as several different factors influence how well plantar fasciitis treatment works for a patient. Some of these factors include the severity or extent of the individual’s case of plantar fasciitis, the presence of any underlying medical condition, such as diabetes, and how well the patient adheres to the treatment plan. If you are dealing with plantar fasciitis, our physicians and chiropractors at Golden State Medical Center would be happy to evaluate your condition and determine which treatment option will help alleviate your condition fastest and most effectively.

It can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months or even a year for plantar fasciitis to heal, depending on the same factors that influence plantar fasciitis treatment success rates. As such, the severity of the patient’s plantar fasciitis, underlying medical conditions, and the patient’s commitment to the treatment plan can all influence how long it takes for plantar fasciitis to heal. That said, the vast majority of patients with plantar fasciitis can recover within six months of the initial injury. We will do our best to help your plantar fasciitis heal quickly and thoroughly with our treatment options at Golden State Medical Center!

Plantar fasciitis is usually considered a repetitive strain injury, which means that it is caused by repeated strain, impact, or tension to the plantar fascia. It occurs when your plantar fascia, which is a ligament or flat band of fibrous tissue that connects your heel bone to the metatarsal bones of your toes, becomes weak, swollen, or inflamed due to overuse or repetitive strain. The plantar fascia is in the same shape as the arch of your foot and absorbs shock when you walk. When there is excessive stress and tension on the plantar fascia, small tears can begin to develop in the fascia.

With that in mind, plantar fasciitis commonly occurs in individuals who frequently participate in long-distance running, ballet or aerobic dancing, sports such as basketball, football, or soccer, or those who have occupations that require them to be on their feet for several hours every day. Other risk factors of plantar fasciitis include age, improper footwear, abnormal foot mechanics, and obesity.

When determining the best treatment for an individual suffering from plantar fasciitis, there are several different factors to consider! Some of these factors include the cause and severity of the condition, the patient’s overall health, personal preferences, and any underlying medical conditions, and other factors. As such, there is not necessarily one single treatment for plantar fasciitis that is unequivocally the best. That said, should you come to Golden State Medical Center, our physicians, and chiropractors will evaluate all of the contributing factors to come up with a treatment plan that is ideally suited to your needs. Some possible treatment options include the following:

• Chiropractic care
