Chiropractic Therapy in Vancouver - Foot Pain

Did you know that your feet are the foundation of your entire body? Many people suffer from foot pain on a daily basis. A hallmark of a common condition called Plantar Fasciitis is morning foot pain. In other words, the first few steps in the morning are very painful.

If this sounds like you, chances are, you are suffering from Plantar Fasciitis. This condition is caused by contraction of the connective tissue under the bottoms of your feet called the Plantar Fascia. In the morning, as you start to walk, you stretch this tissue and cause micro tears that results in pain.

A very effective form of therapy is Orthotic Therapy. These Therapeutic inserts you wear in your shoes can help to stabilize your feet and take pressure off the Plantar Fascia, thus reducing the pain.

As always you can visit Dr. Chan's website at www.drchanchiro.com or call the office!
