Plantar Fasciitis Treatment in Davis, CA

Plantar fasciitis can make something as simple as getting out of bed feel like stepping on glass. That sharp heel pain, especially first thing in the morning or after sitting, is more than just annoying—it can seriously slow you down.

 

At Scriven Chiropractic, we help people move past the pain using a combination of targeted treatments that actually support healing. And yes, that includes shockwave therapy, which is a game-changer for plantar fasciitis.

Let’s clear up a few things first...

Plantar Fasciitis Relief in Davis, CA

MYTH #1: “It’ll go away if I just rest.”

FACT: Rest helps temporarily, but without addressing the cause—like poor mechanics, tight calves, or weak foot muscles—the pain almost always returns. We focus on what’s causing the tension in the plantar fascia, not just icing it and hoping for the best.

MYTH #2: “I’ll probably need injections or surgery.”

FACT: Most plantar fasciitis cases respond really well to conservative care. Shockwave therapy is clinically proven to reduce pain and promote healing—without drugs, injections, or downtime.

MYTH #3: “It’s all about the foot.”

FACT: Your plantar fascia doesn’t work alone. We look at how your ankles, knees, hips, and even your spine are moving. Restrictions up the chain can overload your feet, and unless that’s addressed, symptoms tend to linger.

MYTH #4: “If I just stretch more, it’ll go away.”

FACT: Stretching helps, but it’s usually not enough. We use a combination of:

  • Shockwave therapy to break up scar tissue and stimulate tissue healing

  • Manual therapy and scraping to reduce tension in the calves and plantar fascia

  • Adjustments to improve movement in the feet, ankles, and hips

  • Soft tissue work + cupping to address tightness and support recovery

  • Movement strategies to support your arches and avoid future flare-ups
