Plantar Fasciitis Care in Calgary
Foot Pain Isn’t Normal—Let’s Find Out Why
If you’ve been waking up to stabbing heel pain or struggling to walk comfortably during the day, you may be dealing with plantar fasciitis. This common condition affects the tissue at the bottom of the foot and can make every step feel like a chore. At Memorial Drive Chiropractic and Massage, we take a full-body approach to this issue—looking at how your feet, posture, and nervous system all work together.
What’s Really Causing the Pain?
Dr. Wagemakers often describes plantar fasciitis as a “chicken or the egg” problem. Sometimes the pain comes from collapsed arches or tight muscles in the feet. Other times, it starts higher up—from imbalances in the hips, pelvis, or spine. We perform a detailed exam that includes tools that can include a biomechanical computerized gait scan to evaluate your walk in real time and Insight Scans to assess your nervous system function and movement patterns. All to help identify what’s really going on.
How We Support You
Your care may include gentle chiropractic adjustments, targeted muscle release techniques, and custom exercises to help improve your gait and posture. We’ll also talk about your shoes, how much standing or walking you’re doing, and whether additional support—like orthotics—may be helpful. We sometimes describe orthotics like glasses: not everyone needs them, but for those who do, they can make a big difference in daily comfort.
A Step Toward Whole-Body Wellness
We’ve seen patients with stubborn foot pain start to feel better in just a few visits. Others take more time and need gradual lifestyle changes to support healing. Either way, we’re here to guide the process. Our goal is to help you move better, sleep better, and feel more supported—literally and figuratively—so you can keep up with the activities you enjoy.
