Plantar Fasciitis Care in Ottawa

Dr. Jacob Lapenskie

​

Heel and foot pain can make walking, standing, or exercising uncomfortable. If you are experiencing symptoms of plantar fasciitis in Ottawa, Dr. Jacob Lapenskie offers chiropractic care that may help address contributing factors and support improved foot and lower limb function.

​

Plantar fasciitis is commonly associated with irritation of the plantar fascia, a band of tissue that supports the arch of the foot. Symptoms are often influenced by foot mechanics, muscle tension, activity levels, and how the lower body moves as a whole.

​

Understanding Plantar Fasciitis

​

Plantar fasciitis typically presents as pain near the heel or along the bottom of the foot. Discomfort is often most noticeable with the first steps in the morning or after periods of rest.

Common symptoms include:

​

• Sharp or aching heel pain

• Pain along the bottom of the foot or arch

• Discomfort that worsens with prolonged standing or walking

• Tightness in the foot, calf, or Achilles tendon

 

Because plantar fasciitis can develop for multiple reasons, proper assessment is important.

How Chiropractic Care May Help Plantar Fasciitis

Chiropractic care for plantar fasciitis focuses on improving movement and reducing stress throughout the foot, ankle, and lower body. For patients seeking plantar fasciitis care in Ottawa, treatment may help by:

​

• Improving mobility of the foot, ankle, and lower limb joints

• Reducing muscle tension in the foot and calf

• Addressing movement patterns that place excess strain on the plantar fascia

• Supporting more efficient walking and standing mechanics

 

Care is individualised and based on clinical findings, comfort level, and functional goals.
