Background: A 53-year-old female presented for Chiropractic care with a primary complaint of bi-lateral plantar pain, contributing to compensatory changes to her gait, and low back pain.
Intervention: The patient underwent a course of Chiropractic care during which she was managed using the Advanced Biostructural Correction Technique.
Outcomes: Significant improvements in posture occurred alongside improved range of motion and decrease plantar pain, allowing the patient to normalise her gait and resume walking normally and without pain.
Conclusion: Further research into the impact of posture on plantar fascia, and Chiropractic’s role in managing plantar pain is warranted.
