Welcome to Anchor Injury and Integrative Health, where we specialize in the comprehensive care of plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis, a common and often painful condition, involves inflammation of the plantar fascia, a vital tissue connecting the heel bone to the toes. Our team understands the impact it can have on athletes, individuals with professions that demand prolonged standing or walking and improper shoe wear and lack of the normal arch of the foot
Repetitive micro-trauma from simple activity such as walking and standing and an inability on the part of the fascia to fully heal (due in part by poor blood supply) causes chronic degeneration, inflammation and pain of the Plantar Fasciitis. Fasciitis pain causes pain along the sole or at the heel of the foot, which can impair the ability to walk, especially early in the morning. Although 80% of plantar fasciitis cases resolve with rest, heel cups, eccentric stretching exercises, nigh splints, orthotics, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication, some cases who are not responsive to these treatments and more invasive procedures are required.
At Anchor Injury and Integrative Health, we offer a holistic approach to address plantar fasciitis, combining traditional and cutting-edge treatments. Our services include:
1. Chiropractic Manipulation
Experience adjustments targeting restricted joints in the ankle to enhance motion and functionality, crucial in addressing compromised joints associated with plantar fasciitis.
2. Massage Therapy
Benefit from progressive cross friction massage techniques targeting the fascia's origin, breaking down scar tissue and improving flexibility.
3. Low-level Laser Therapy
Harness the power of low-level laser to control pain mechanisms and stimulate fibrous tissue regeneration, aiding in the natural healing process.
4. Platelet-Rich-Plasma (PRP):
Our ultra-minimally invasive PRP procedure involves injecting a high concentration of platelets derived from your own blood plasma, promoting growth factors and cytokines release to accelerate tissue healing.
Unlike traditional surgery, our PRP procedure is less invasive, carries fewer risks, and often involves less downtime. While it may not be covered by insurance, the out-of-pocket costs are comparable to surgery, considering copayments and lost productivity.
Discover a joint-preserving approach that allows you to keep your plantar fascia tissue intact while leveraging your body’s own healing abilities. Contact Anchor Injury and Integrative Health for personalized, effective, and minimally invasive plantar fasciitis care.
