Chiropractic is a drug and surgery free modality of treatment concerned with the diagnosis, management and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system (spine); this includes the effects of these disorders on the function of the nervous system and general health.
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, especially among runners, people who stand for long hours, and those with poor foot biomechanics. It occurs when the thick band of tissue (the plantar fascia) that runs along the bottom of your foot becomes inflamed or overstretched, leading to stabbing pain in the heel, particularly with your first steps in the morning.
At Franklin Chiropractic & Physiotherapy Dubai, we offer evidence-based, non-invasive solutions to relieve plantar fasciitis pain, restore mobility, and prevent recurrence.
✔️ Sharp pain in the heel, especially in the morning
✔️ Pain after long periods of standing or walking
✔️ Stiffness in the foot arch
✔️ Discomfort when climbing stairs
✔️ Pain that worsens after exercise (not during)
✔️ Tenderness at the base of the heel
If your heel pain isn’t going away or keeps returning, it’s time for a professional assessment.
Several factors can contribute to plantar fasciitis:
• Overuse or repetitive strain (e.g. running, long walks)
• Poor foot biomechanics (flat feet or high arches)
• Standing or walking on hard surfaces for long periods
• Inadequate footwear with poor arch support
• Tight calf muscles or Achilles tendon
• Sudden increases in activity or weight gain
Dubai’s active lifestyle, combined with hard flooring and long workdays, makes this a common issue for residents.
Our DHA-licensed team uses a multidisciplinary, hands-on approach to target both the pain and the root cause of plantar fasciitis:
• Chiropractic Adjustments (ankle, foot, and spine alignment)
• Physiotherapy to stretch tight muscles and strengthen weak ones
• Manual Therapy & Myofascial Release of the plantar fascia
• Dry Needling to relieve chronic tension and inflammation
• Customised Rehab Plans to improve foot mechanics
• Footwear & Lifestyle Guidance for long-term support
