Foot pain can make even simple daily activities uncomfortable. Whether you're dealing with heel pain when getting out of bed, discomfort after standing for long periods, or pain that limits walking, running, or exercise, foot problems can have a significant impact on your quality of life.
At Reform Health & Wellness, we provide individualized treatment plans designed to address the underlying causes of foot pain and help patients return to comfortable movement.
Common Foot Conditions We Treat
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain and involves irritation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that supports the arch of the foot.
Common symptoms include:
- heel pain with the first steps in the morning
- pain after prolonged sitting
- discomfort after standing for long periods
- arch pain
- pain during walking or running
Heel Pain
Heel pain may result from:
- plantar fasciitis
- overuse injuries
- mobility restrictions
- tendon irritation
- changes in walking mechanics
Arch Pain
Pain through the arch of the foot may be associated with:
- overuse
- foot mechanics
- plantar fascia irritation
- footwear issues
- activity-related strain
Achilles Tendon Pain
Symptoms may include:
- pain at the back of the heel
- stiffness with activity
- discomfort during walking, running, or exercise
- reduced calf flexibility
Foot & Ankle Mobility Issues
Limited mobility can contribute to:
- altered walking patterns
- reduced athletic performance
- increased stress on the foot, ankle, knee, and hip
Sports-Related Foot Injuries
We commonly assess and treat:
- running injuries
- overuse conditions
- training-related pain
- activity-related foot discomfort
Plantar Fasciitis
What causes Plantar Fasciitis
Several factors may contribute, including:
- prolonged standing
- increased walking or running volume
- poor footwear
- reduced ankle mobility
- calf tightness
- changes in activity levels
- foot mechanics
- weakness throughout the foot and lower leg
Often, multiple contributing factors are present simultaneously.
How We Can Help
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic treatment may help improve mobility throughout the foot, ankle, and lower extremity.
Treatment may include:
- joint mobilization
- shockwave treatment
- dry needling/IMS
- mobility-focused treatment
- gait evaluation

Improving ankle and foot mechanics may help reduce unnecessary strain on the plantar fascia and surrounding tissues.

Frequently Asked Questions
what you need to know about foot pain & plantar fasciitis
No. Most cases improve with appropriate treatment, activity modification, and rehabilitation, although recovery can sometimes take several months.
During sleep, the plantar fascia shortens slightly. The first steps in the morning place tension through the tissue, which often produces the characteristic sharp heel pain many people experience.
Depending on the cause, chiropractic treatment may help improve foot and ankle mobility, walking mechanics, and movement patterns contributing to plantar fascia irritation. Shockwave therapy and/or dry needling can significantly improve symptoms.
In many cases, continued activity is appropriate, but activity levels may need to be modified temporarily. Complete rest is rarely the ideal long-term solution.
Proper footwear varies from person to person. Supportive shoes that match your foot type, activity level, and walking mechanics are often recommended. Our team at Reform Health & Wellness can help guide you towards the proper footwear.
