Treating Plantar Fasciitis in Downtown Woodbury for Seniors
Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the thick band of tissue running along the bottom of the foot, and it's one of the most common causes of heel pain. It often develops from repetitive strain, unsupportive footwear, or biomechanical issues that start higher up the kinetic chain.
Age-related disc degeneration, arthritis, and reduced mobility make older adults more susceptible to chronic back pain, balance issues, and slower recovery from falls.
