Chiropractic and Laser Therapy May Offer a Safe Solution to Foot Pain, Ankle Pain & Plantar Fasciitis
Wouldn’t it be cool to have the healing powers of super heroes? While the lasso of truth or a tiara that doubles as a boomerang is what most frequently comes to mind when thinking of Wonder Woman, comic junkies would tell you that she also has the ability to renew herself … allowing her to rapidly heal injuries at super-human speed. Or there’s Wolverine, who also recently made his return to the silver screen. He’s known for his amazing accelerated healing ability.
Modern medicine hasn’t reached superhero strength yet, but we’re getting closer every day. What’s so exciting about chiropractic and laser medicine is that it may help you quickly heal without any pain, cutting, chemicals or side effects. As a result, ankle and foot pain is often overcome so you can once again enjoy living life foot loose and fancy free.
UNDERSTANDING FOOT AND ANKLE PAIN
There’s no question you’re in pain. But, do you understand what’s causing it? There are many reasons for foot and ankle pain, but the most common culprits include Plantar Fasciitis, arthritis and peripheral neuropathy.
What Is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar Fasciitis can cause a stabbing pain in the bottom of your foot near the heel. This pain is usually worst with the first few steps after awakening, although it can also be triggered by long periods of standing or getting up from a seated position. Chronic Plantar Fasciitis may develop into a heel spur, which grows on the inside part of your heel bone, which is usually the worst location of your pain. If you have Plantar Fasciitis, LaserMed can help you find relief today!
Now, you might be asking yourself, “What the heck is the Plantar Fasciitis?” The plantar fascia is a thin ligament that connects your heel to the front of your foot. It supports the arch of your foot and helps you walk without pain.
Unfortunately, pain in this area is one of the most common foot complaints. That’s because your ligaments experience a lot of wear and tear and this can lead to a lot of PAIN.
The ligaments in your feet act like shock absorbers, supporting the arch of your foot. Too much pressure on your feet can damage or tear these ligaments. When that fascia on the bottom of your foot is damaged—most frequently due to the wear and tear that comes with age—that causes inflammation, stiffness and PAIN. Tight calf muscles may also contribute to Plantar Fasciitis. A proper stretching and mobility exercise program for your Calf Muscle’s, Foot and Ankle is essential for your care.
Who Is at Risk for Plantar Fasciitis?
Great question. Here’s the answer.
• Have a job that requires you to be on your feet a lot
• Active men and women between the ages of 40 and 70 are at the highest risk for developing plantar fasciitis
• If you have foot problems, such as very high arches or very flat feet
• Tight Achilles tendons
• Wearing shoes with soft soles and poor arch support
• Women who are pregnant
• Long-distance runners may be more likely to develop these kinds of foot problems
When Does This Happen?
Pain from Plantar Fasciitis shows up in many ways
• Pain and stiffness develops gradually over time
• It usually affects just one foot, but can affect both feet
• Some people describe the pain as “dull,” others experience a ‘sharp pain,’ and some feel a ‘burning or ache’ on the bottom of the foot extending outward from the heel
• The pain is usually worse in the morning when you take your first steps out of bed, or if you’ve been sitting or lying down for a while
• Climbing stairs can be very difficult due to the heel stiffness
• After prolonged activity, the pain can flare-up due to increased inflammation (pain is not usually felt during the activity, but rather shortly after stopping)
What Are the Complications?
If you ignore the condition, you can develop chronic heel pain. This can change the way you walk. Then you can develop problems with your legs, knees, hips and back. Chronic Plantar Fasciitis may develop into a Heel Spur. Not a good thing!
Some try to treat the condition with injections or surgeries that often only make it worse. Steroid injections weaken the plantar fascia ligament and cause potential rupture of the ligament. Surgery carries the risks of bleeding, infection, and reactions to anesthesia-plus nerve damage.

Arthritis in the Foot and Ankle
Did you know that there are 26 bones and 30 joints in your foot? All of these are held together by muscles, tendons and ligaments, which work together to control foot and ankle motion. Arthritis limits this motion, often causing severe pain and impeding your ability to walk comfortably.
Arthritis comes in many forms, but the most common is osteoarthritis. It is common as you age, resulting from wear and tear to joint cartilage, the soft tissue between joints.
Signs of Arthritis in the Foot or Ankle
Some of the more obvious signs of osteoarthritis in your foot and ankle include:

Peripheral Neuropathy in the Foot
Are you experiencing sensations of burning, stabbing, numbness, throbbing, freezing or prickling? Are you having issues with balance, falling, muscle weakness, bruising, swelling or sensitivity to touch? If so, you may be suffering from peripheral neuropathy. You’re not alone. It is estimated that approximately 20 million Americans suffer from this ailment.
Neuropathy is a condition that impacts the peripheral nerves. There are three types of peripheral nerves: motor, sensory and automatic. Their function is to connect the spinal cord to muscles, skin and internal organs. When these nerves are not working properly, they cause uncomfortable and sometimes painful symptoms that often start in the feet. These sensations can also migrate to the legs.
What Causes Peripheral Neuropathy?
The most common cause of peripheral neuropathy is diabetes. Other causes include vitamin deficiencies, auto-immune disorders, medications (especially cancer treatments), thyroid disorders, alcohol abuse, injury, heredity and toxins.
How to Treat Peripheral Neuropathy without Addictive Medications, Painful Injections
The persistent pain and discomfort of peripheral neuropathy often leads people to drastic measures. LaserMed offers a 100% pain-free, non-invasive alternative through a variety of laser and Electro Medical Therapy. Look at the photo to see the difference these treatments made for one of our patient’s in just a little over four months.
The photobiostimulation provided by laser therapy helps regenerate the nerve’s outer myelin sheath, your nerves’ protective covering. Laser penetrates deep into the tissues, increasing circulation by enhancing nitric oxide production to open up the blood vessels. This enables your body to better pump its life-giving blood supply to all areas of the body, including those negatively impacted by neuropathy.
In some cases, we recommend coupling laser with Electro Medical Therapy, which is backed by more than 1,600 published studies in the Library of Medicine. It is delivered through magnetic fields which reduce pain and inflammation, generate platelet adhesion to repair vascular injury, improve circulation/blood/tissue oxygenation, detoxify and regenerate cells and balance the immune system.
