As you sit on the couch with your foot elevated you are trying to come to terms with the fact that you now will be dealing for at least eight weeks with either a ruptured or torn plantar fascia. Turns out that the thing between your heel and your arch actually ripped off your heel bone this morning.

In the meantime you are thinking through your list of neighbors, family, or friends who might have a knee scooter you can borrow for three weeks.

The shot was just wearing off, and you had an appointment to go have it looked at next week. What felt like an explosion in your foot this morning, however, has changed all of your previous plans.

Fortunately, you have made a call and found out that your chiropractor is known for some very effective for plantar fasciitis, as well as the pain that is in other parts of the body caused by the condition.
