Plantar Fasciitis Treatment in Overland Park
Plantar fasciitis treatment at Move Muscle & Joint in Overland Park combines shockwave therapy, myofascial release, chiropractic care, and targeted rehab to address the full picture — from foot mechanics to calf mobility to lower extremity loading patterns.
What is plantar fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is inflammation and degeneration of the plantar fascia — the thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. It's one of the most common causes of heel pain and can significantly limit walking, running, and daily activity.
While it's often treated as a local foot problem, plantar fasciitis frequently reflects dysfunction in the calf, ankle, and lower extremity mechanics. Effective treatment addresses the foot and the chain above it.
Common signs and symptoms.
Why this happens.
Plantar fasciitis often develops from calf tightness, weak intrinsic foot muscles, excessive pronation, poor footwear, and sudden increases in loading or activity. Reduced ankle dorsiflexion is one of the most common contributing factors.
How Move evaluates this condition.
Our evaluation includes foot and ankle assessment, calf flexibility testing, gait analysis, and lower extremity movement screening. We identify the biomechanical contributors to your plantar fascia stress and build a targeted treatment plan.
Our integrated treatment approach.
Treatment often includes shockwave therapy to stimulate healing in the plantar fascia, myofascial release for the calf and posterior chain, chiropractic adjustments for the foot and ankle, and progressive rehab to improve calf flexibility, foot strength, and loading tolerance.
Shockwave therapy is particularly effective for plantar fasciitis and is a cornerstone of our treatment approach for this condition.
