Plantar Fasciitis is commonly known as “heel pain”. Plantar Fasciitis is the inflammation of the plantar fascia, which is the fibrous tissue on the bottom of the foot connecting the heel bone to the toes. Plantar Fasciitis can and does cause severe heel and foot pain. Plantar Fasciitis is commonly associated with severe heel pain with the initiation of walking after rising form bed or a seated position. Individuals with Plantar Fasciitis classically have to walk on their toes for the first several steps to avoid pressure to the heel. Once activity has begun the pain usually is reduced.
Plantar Fasciitis can be caused by trauma, repetitive activities and also poor foot biomechanics: such as foot pronation or flat feet. Plantar Fasciitis is treated by Dr. Glen Batson, of Batson Chiropractic of Willowbook, by using Chiropractic Manual Manipulation of the foot and ankle joints, K-Laser Therapy, and custom Foot Levelers foot orthotic devices. K-Laser Therapy is a Class IV Laser therapy utilizing red and near-infrared wavelengths of light energy to induce a photochemical and therapeutic effect on the tissues of the heel and plantar fascia. This therapy conservatively and naturally reduces the inflammation of the plantar fascia and therefore reduces the pain. Dr. Batson utilizes custom orthotic foot devices, inserts, for support and proper function of the foot to reduce irritation of the plantar fascia.

Five sessions of K-Laser therapy resolved the pain, inflammation, and restriction to the affected shoulder. The athlete returned to pitching and batting with no pain and full shoulder function. K-Laser Class 4 Therapy is a natural, safe, and effective therapy for treating many sport and non-sports related injuries and associated PAIN!!!! |
