Natural solutions to plantar fasciitis in Bremerton WA - get back to doing the things you love!

Whether you enjoy hiking, playing with your grandchildren or working an active job, most of us spend a lot of time on our feet. Movement is good for our joints, muscles, and tendons; however, repetitive stress on our feet can lead to pain on the bottom of the foot, or something called plantar fasciitis.

Plantar fasciitis typically begins as acute inflammation. With repetitive stress, this acute problem can become chronic. Symptoms can range from sharp pain in the bottom of the foot or heel (especially in the morning), discomfort when walking, difficulty walking barefoot, or tenderness when touching the heel. If this sounds like you, you don’t need to live with the pain anymore!

Some causes of plantar fasciitis may be the structure of the foot, tightness or weakness of the calves, tightness of the hamstrings, and activity levels. It is important to get an assessment from a medical professional to determine the cause of your plantar fasciitis so they can determine the best course of care.

Treatment Options for Plantar Fasciitis in Bremerton WA

• Laser Therapy
• Acupuncture
• Adjustments
• Stretches & Exercises

Laser Therapy – At Bremerton Wellness, we use Class IV Laser therapy to help decrease pain and inflammation. This treatment uses a hot laser to painlessly increase the cellular processes of the cells in our bodies and promote healing.

Acupuncture – Acupuncture can help to relax tight muscles, improve circulation, and assist in pain control.

Adjustments – Chiropractors are trained not only in spinal adjustments but also in extremity adjustments. Adjustments can improve the range of motion of the ankle and foot joints, effectively decreasing pain and increasing mobility.

Stretches & Exercises – At Bremerton Wellness, we provide a thorough assessment to determine what stretches and exercises will be most effective for each individual.

*It is important to note that not all foot pain is plantar fasciitis, and not all plantar fasciitis is caused by the same thing. If you’re looking for relief from foot pain, book an appointment with your nearest licensed Bremerton providers!
