Is Spinal Decompression Effective at Treating Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis symptoms can make it hard to exercise, work, spend time with family and friends, and enjoy your hobbies. At Chiro-Med Health Center, Dr. Jennifer Tinoosh specializes in helping patients find relief from plantar fasciitis. She recommends a combination of chiropractic care, custom orthotics, chiropractic physical therapy, and spinal decompression therapy in Lynchburg, VA, for the treatment of plantar fasciitis. Here is a look at how spinal decompression can relieve plantar fasciitis symptoms.
What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal decompression therapy is a nonsurgical treatment option that corrects imbalances and misalignments in the spine. During spinal decompression, you will lie on a traction table, and Dr. Tinoosh will control the movement of the table using a computer program. As the table moves, it will slowly and gently stretch your spine. This will shift your spine back into alignment, relieve pressure on your spine and soft tissues, improve your posture and mobility, and accelerate healing throughout the body.
How Does Spinal Decompression Treat Plantar Fasciitis?
Spinal decompression therapy can relieve pressure on your spinal nerves and the soft tissues and muscles that support the spine. It can also improve your posture and spinal alignment so that your body puts less pressure on your feet when you stand and walk. Over time, spinal decompression can strengthen ligaments and muscles, relieve pain and inflammation, accelerate healing throughout the body, and improve function and mobility.
