Family Doctor
The first health care provider you should see is your family Doctor for a complete medical examination because plantar fasciitis may be a symptom or a warning of health disorders in other parts of your body. If your diagnosis is plantar fasciitis you may be referred you to a Podiatrist, Physiotherapist or Chiropractor depending on your individual circumstances.
Common plantar fasciitis tests are:
diabetes, degenerative joint diseases, lupus, fibromyalgia, ms, arthritis, lymes disease, parasites, vitamin B12 and C
deficiency, thyroid levels, mercury toxicity, candida, adrenal deficiency, structural stress fractures and bone spurs.
Podiatrist
A Podiatrist should confirm your Doctor's diagnosis, evaluate your foot and leg biomechanics, advise you of treatment options and help you develop a rehabilitation plan and refer you to physical therapy or a chiropractor if needed.
Physiotherapist
A physiotherapist should confirm your diagnosis, evaluate and treat your symptoms, develop a rehabilitation plan and
teach you correct exercises.
Please refer to Foot Trainer exercises and incorrect exercises.
Chiropractor
A Chiropractor should confirm your Doctor's diagnosis and evaluate/correct your foot and leg biomechanics. If you decide to try custom orthotics it makes sense to be in proper alignment before you are fitted.
