That first step out of bed can be surprisingly painful.

Heel pain that is sharpest with the first few steps in the morning — or after you have been sitting for a while — is commonly associated with irritation of the plantar fascia, the strong band of tissue along the bottom of the foot.
But the foot does not work alone. Ankle motion, calf tightness, the way you walk and how your body distributes weight can all influence the stress placed on the heel.

If you keep “walking it off” only to have the pain return the next morning, it may be time to look at the larger movement pattern instead of treating the heel as an isolated problem.

Dr. Brenda Dukes can evaluate musculoskeletal factors that may be contributing and help determine whether conservative care, home strategies or referral to another provider is the right next step.
Persistent heel pain, significant swelling, inability to bear weight, or pain after an injury should be medically evaluated.

Nervous about your first chiropracticvisit? Here’s what to expect...

A lot of people put off making an appointment because they do not know what will happen once they walk through the door.

Will you be adjusted immediately? Will it hurt? Do you have to commit to a long treatment plan?

A first visit should begin with something much simpler: a conversation.
Dr. Brenda Dukes wants to understand what you are feeling, when it started, what makes it better or worse, what you have already tried and what you want to get back to doing. From there, she can examine how you move and determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate for you.

Good care is not about rushing you through a standard routine. It is about understanding the person attached to the pain.

And if your symptoms suggest you need a different type of healthcare provider, that matters too.
If uncertainty has kept you from asking for help, call us. We are happy to answer your questions before you schedule.
