Plantar Fasciitis Treatment

Plantar fasciitis treatment at Axis Health Center provides a comprehensive and effective approach to healing foot pain caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia. This painful condition, often felt as a sharp heel or arch pain, can make walking and standing difficult, especially first thing in the morning. At our clinic on 8th Street East in Saskatoon, our multidisciplinary team offers expert care tailored to relieve symptoms and resolve the root cause of plantar fasciitis.

We combine a range of therapies—chiropractic care, physiotherapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, and dry needling—to provide long-lasting relief. Whether your plantar fasciitis stems from overuse, poor foot mechanics, or a recent increase in activity, we’re here to help you move better and feel better.

Chiropractic Care for Plantar Fasciitis Treatment at Axis Health Center

Chiropractic care for plantar fasciitis treatment at Axis Health Center focuses on correcting mechanical imbalances in the feet, ankles, and lower limbs. Improper alignment in your kinetic chain—from your hips down to your feet—can create stress on the plantar fascia, prolonging inflammation and pain.

Our chiropractors use precise manual adjustments and joint mobilizations to restore proper alignment, reduce tension, and promote healing. They may also recommend custom orthotics to support the arch and reduce strain on the fascia. When the foot and lower limb biomechanics are corrected, it leads to quicker and more sustainable relief from plantar fasciitis pain.

Physiotherapy for Plantar Fasciitis Treatment at Axis Health Center

Physiotherapy for plantar fasciitis treatment at Axis Health Center includes targeted stretching, strengthening, and manual therapy to reduce pain and promote healing. Physiotherapists play a vital role in identifying muscle imbalances or tightness that contribute to plantar fascia strain.

By designing individualized rehabilitation programs, our physiotherapists help you regain mobility and strengthen the intrinsic muscles of the foot and the calf complex. Manual therapy, taping techniques, ultrasound, and progressive loading exercises are commonly integrated into your plan to accelerate healing and restore pain-free function.

Massage Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis Treatment at Axis Health Center

Massage therapy for plantar fasciitis treatment at Axis Health Center addresses the soft tissue tension and adhesions that aggravate the condition. Deep tissue and therapeutic massage techniques focus on the calves, Achilles tendon, and plantar fascia to improve circulation, release trigger points, and decrease stiffness.

Tension in the lower leg and foot can place undue stress on the plantar fascia, and massage therapy helps loosen these tight tissues. Regular sessions promote better tissue healing and help break down scar tissue, allowing for improved foot mobility and reduced pain during daily activities.

Acupuncture and Dry Needling for Plantar Fasciitis Treatment at Axis Health Center

Acupuncture and dry needling for plantar fasciitis treatment at Axis Health Center are highly effective in reducing inflammation and stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. These techniques involve inserting fine needles into specific trigger points in the foot, calf, and surrounding muscles.

Acupuncture, rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, promotes energy flow and pain relief, while dry needling targets myofascial trigger points to release tight muscle bands and reduce strain on the plantar fascia. Both therapies help lower pain levels, improve mobility, and enhance the overall effectiveness of your recovery plan when used alongside chiropractic and physiotherapy.

What Causes Plantar Fasciitis and Why You Shouldn’t Ignore It

Plantar fasciitis is often caused by repetitive strain from walking, running, standing for long periods, or poor footwear. Risk factors include flat feet, high arches, tight calves, obesity, and sudden increases in physical activity.

Ignoring plantar fasciitis can lead to chronic heel pain, painful bony spurs in the heel, compensatory injuries in the knees, hips, or back, and long-term changes in gait. Early intervention is key. At Axis Health Center, our team is trained to identify the underlying causes and tailor a treatment plan to prevent future recurrence.

Integrated Care for Lasting Plantar Fasciitis Relief

Our multi-disciplinary approach to plantar fasciitis treatment at Axis Health Center allows us to address all aspects of your condition. Instead of just masking the pain, we work to restore normal foot mechanics, reduce inflammation, and rebuild strength.

By combining chiropractic care, physiotherapy, acupuncture, massage, and corrective exercise, we ensure that each patient receives the best possible outcomes. Collaboration between disciplines enhances your recovery and supports a full return to activity with minimized risk of re-injury.

Personalized Treatment Plans for Every Patient

No two cases of plantar fasciitis are the same, and that’s why every patient at Axis Health Center receives a personalized treatment plan. We begin with a full assessment to understand the severity of your condition, your lifestyle demands, and any contributing biomechanical issues.

From there, we design a tailored plan incorporating the appropriate therapies—be it spinal and foot adjustments, stretching programs, tissue release techniques, or needling. This customized approach helps you recover efficiently and return to your favourite activities without the burden of chronic foot pain.
