“my heel kills me for the first ten steps”
8 quick questions about your own week, one at a time, and you get a score out of 100 and one next step. It takes about a minute. Nothing is collected and nothing is sent anywhere.
The part nobody explained
The tissue under the foot takes load every single step, so it never gets the uninterrupted rest that other soft tissue injuries get.
Inserts change how the load is distributed and do not treat the tissue that is already irritated, which is why they can take the edge off without resolving it.
Long standing cases involve changes in the tissue itself, which is the specific case regenerative therapy is aimed at.
We look before we touch
Hands-on exam of the foot and the loading pattern above it, because what the foot is doing is often answering to the hip and the low back. Imaging if the exam calls for it. You get told what is driving it before anything is proposed.
The first visit is the exam and the digital X-ray. Nothing is adjusted on it, because adjusting before looking is guessing. What the care itself costs is given to you in writing at the report of findings, before you decide.
What we would use on it
Which of these applies to your case comes out of the exam rather than off this page.
Two phases, and you are told which one you are in
Whatever is driving your plantar fasciitis, the shape of care here is the same and you are told which phase you are in the whole way through.
- Phase one
Correct what is driving it
Scoped before it starts. You are told how many visits it is built around, what is being measured, and when the re-exam happens, and you get that in writing with the price at the report of findings.
- The exam and the digital X-ray come first, so the plan answers to findings.
- A scheduled re-exam measures it rather than asking how your week went.
- When this phase is finished, you are told that it is finished.
- Phase two
Preserve what has been corrected
A body keeps loading, so a correction is something you keep rather than something you finish. What maintaining it looks like is explained with the reasons on the table, and it is a decision you make knowing what it is for.
- Discussed once the corrective phase is measured, not assumed at the start.
- You know what you are paying for and why, at every point.
- Nobody here will tell you a result holds forever on its own.
What patients said afterwards
The entire staff is so kind, welcoming, and truly cares about their patients.

Questions people ask about plantar fasciitis
Why would I see a chiropractor for my foot?
For the equipment and for the loading pattern. StemWave and Class IV Laser treat the tissue directly, and no other practice in this immediate area carries that combination. The second reason is that heel pain often tracks back to how you are loading the leg, which is worth looking at while you are here.
Does StemWave hurt?
StemWave is an acoustic wave applied to the tissue, the shockwave style treatment this office carries. Most people describe it as uncomfortable rather than painful, strongest over the spot that is already irritated. You can stop at any point. The intensity is adjustable and it is adjusted.
How many sessions does this take?
You get a number in writing before you commit, along with what is being measured and when. We have not published a typical count on this page because the protocol detail has not been confirmed for publication yet, and we would rather leave a gap than print a number we cannot stand behind.
