Plantar Fasciitis with KST and Laser Therapy
Plantar Fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, caused by irritation and inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that supports the arch of the foot. It often presents as a sharp pain in the heel, especially with the first steps in the morning or after periods of rest. This condition can develop from overuse, improper biomechanics, or stress placed on the foot over time.
Using Koren Specific Technique (KST), we look beyond just the foot to identify the underlying cause of stress on the plantar fascia. The foot does not function in isolation- it is directly influenced by alignment throughout the body. We focus on restoring proper alignment in the hips, knees, and ankles. When these structures are not moving correctly, it can create abnormal pressure and strain on the foot. By correcting these imbalances, we help reduce stress on the plantar fascia, improve biomechanics, and support long-term healing, not just temporary relief.
We also utilize advanced Erchonia laser therapy to accelerate healing at the tissue level. The FX series lasers are FDA-cleared for the treatment of plantar fasciitis, making this a powerful non-invasive option for patients suffering from chronic heal pain. Laser Therapy works to reduce inflammation, improve circulation and tissue repair, and decrease pain and sensitivity. By combining precise structural corrections with targeted laser therapy, we help patients heal faster and return to normal activity with less discomfort.
