The stabbing pain associated with plantar fasciitis can severely limit the quality of life of those who suffer from the condition, as well as their ability to participate in activities that they enjoy. While the cause of plantar fasciitis is not clear, what is certain is the discomfort it causes those with the unfortunate reality of living with it.
Worse still, chronic heel pain can develop from plantar fasciitis if it is not addressed. When this occurs, people will typically change how they walk in order to avoid or reduce the pain, resulting in more issues. Back, foot, hip, and knee problems are common in these circumstances.
In other words, it is important to address plantar fasciitis not just to assist in pain reduction but also to stave off future health challenges that can further impact your health in a negative way. There is good news, however—the majority of people with plantar fasciitis recover!
So, how can you overcome your plantar fasciitis in the most efficient way? While there are a number of approaches that can (and should) be used—including stretching and avoiding certain activities until recovered—visiting a doctor of chiropractic is a good place to start.
Treating Plantar Fasciitis with PulStar
A visit to the chiropractor may not be the first thing that comes to mind when your plantar fasciitis flares up. However, your doctor of chiropractic has both the training and the tools necessary to treat your condition and provide the relief you need.
Foremost among those tools is PulStar, the best instrument adjusting system in the chiropractic world. PulStar has a comprehensive product suite that is feature-packed, giving your doctor of chiropractic the resources they need to treat your plantar fasciitis extremely effectively.
The multiple impulse therapy facilitated by PulStar’s chiropractic instruments is especially key when it comes to plantar fasciitis. By delivering exact force and impulses to precise areas of the foot, the PulStar can provide the perfect treatment as determined by your doctor of chiropractic. These capabilities are only enhanced by the numerous PulStar attachments that are designed to deliver impulses to key areas of the body in specific ways.
For example, the myofascial attachment is ideal for treating plantar fasciitis thanks to its unique shape that matches the contours of the foot. This thoughtful design is key to addressing the areas affected by the condition and is even more effective when followed by the point attachment, which your chiropractor can use to pinpoint even more precise areas of the foot.
In addition to treating the affected foot, PulStar also enhances the adjustment your doctor of chiropractic can offer to problem areas that may be related to plantar fasciitis. If your hip or lower back is out of alignment due to a change in your walk, the PulStar can provide visualization and accurate adjustment of those areas, providing localized and (potentially) plantar fasciitis relief.
Beyond the Instruments
While the PulStar is an essential tool in your doctor of chiropractic’s arsenal, their expertise and skill also play a significant role in their ability to treat your plantar fasciitis. A proper doctor of chiropractic is trained extensively in manipulating the body. This training includes both effective massage and stretching.
As your chiropractor uses the PulStar to target the area of the foot that are contributing to your pain, they may massage and stretch the area using precise techniques. This not only benefits your foot on its own but also enhances the treatment delivered by the PulStar.
In other words, your doctor of chiropractic will use the PulStar instrument adjusting tool as a supplement to their original skillset. When used in conjunction, the results are bound to be outstanding, especially long-term.
There is no doubt that PulStar is one of the most effective and exciting chiropractic tools on the market.
