Plantar fasciitis is a common and often painful condition that affects the bottom of the foot, making everyday activities like walking or standing a challenge. At the Chiropractic Centers of Drs. Campanella & Olivacz, with locations in Havre De Grace and Bel Air, MD, we offer innovative treatments like the Graston Technique to help patients find relief and get back on their feet, literally!

What is Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot, becomes inflamed or irritated. This condition often causes sharp, stabbing pain near the heel, especially in the morning or after periods of inactivity. It is commonly linked to overuse, poor footwear, or biomechanical issues.

How the Graston Technique Can Help

The Graston Technique is a specialized form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) that uses stainless steel tools to break down scar tissue and adhesions in the affected area. This technique is particularly effective for treating plantar fasciitis because it targets the underlying tissue damage that contributes to pain and inflammation.

During a Graston Technique session, our chiropractors will use these tools to gently massage and manipulate the plantar fascia. This process helps:

• Increase blood flow to the area, promoting healing
• Break up scar tissue and adhesions that restrict movement
• Reduce inflammation and pain
• Restore flexibility and function to the foot

The Graston Technique is non-invasive and works well alongside other treatments, such as stretching exercises, orthotics, and chiropractic adjustments, to provide comprehensive relief from plantar fasciitis.
