Chiropractic Care for Plantar Fasciitis in Rhode Island
Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain, affecting individuals on their feet for extended periods or engaging in repetitive activities like running. At DeCrescenzo Chiropractic, we offer specialized, non-invasive treatments for plantar fasciitis that target the root cause of your pain and help restore mobility. As part of our Extremities care, we provide practical solutions to reduce inflammation and promote long-term healing.
What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot, becomes inflamed. This inflammation typically results from overuse or excessive strain, leading to sharp pain in the heel, especially after long periods of standing or walking.
Common causes of plantar fasciitis include:
- Overuse: Repeated stress on the plantar fascia from running, walking, or standing for extended periods.
- Improper Footwear: Wearing shoes that lack proper support can strain the plantar fascia.
- Foot Mechanics: Flat feet, high arches, or abnormal walking patterns can strain the plantar fascia extra.
Chiropractic Treatment for Plantar Fasciitis in Rhode Island
At DeCrescenzo Chiropractic, we offer non-invasive chiropractic treatments to relieve pain and promote healing in patients with plantar fasciitis. Our treatments aim to reduce inflammation, restore mobility, and prevent the condition from worsening.

Class IV Hot Laser Therapy
Class IV Hot Laser Therapy is a non-invasive treatment option that uses high-intensity laser energy to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation in the extremities. The laser energy penetrates deep into the tissues, increasing blood circulation and promoting cellular regeneration. This can help reduce pain, numbness, and tingling associated with various extremity conditions.

Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is an advanced treatment option that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing and reduce pain in the extremities. The sound waves create microtrauma in the affected tissues, triggering the body's natural healing response. This can help break down scar tissue, reduce inflammation, and promote the growth of new blood vessels, leading to long-term pain relief.
Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis
The most common symptom of plantar fasciitis is a sharp pain in the heel, particularly when taking your first steps in the morning or after prolonged periods of standing. Other symptoms may include:
- Stiffness or tightness in the heel or arch
- Pain that worsens after activity
- Tenderness when pressing on the bottom of the foot
- Difficulty walking due to heel pain
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, seeking chiropractic care is important to prevent the condition from worsening. At DeCrescenzo Chiropractic, we provide a comprehensive evaluation, which includes a discussion of your symptoms, a physical examination, and possibly imaging tests, and develop a personalized treatment plan to help you recover.

So my story:
I had a bad car accident back in 2017 that fractured my left wrist, one of my ribs, my neck seized up and couldent move it to the left, and did something to my lower back where later on it went out where it was consistently going out of alignment. Think of you back as an upside down T, as the ( --- ) is the hips/waist and the ( | ) as the spine. My Spine is a (《 ) and my hips is ( / ), higher on one side then the other. This has caused excessive pain at some points. 8 years later I'm still going for monthly maintenance to keep everything in check. My neck can move after a few treatments and I still get the "rice crispy cereal popping sound" but I don't think that'll ever go away but it's jot as loud and I can move my neck. My lower back is the stubborn problem at this point.
They started doing the shockwave therapy maybe a few years ago at this point and I was a difficult patient to get to try it with all the adjustments and the money I was spending when my back would flare up and really be out of alignment and sometimes have 3 visits a week. I gave in and started the shockwave which made them so happy, and myself after. It was night an day difference. Now I know if I have a flairup that option is there. Due to how well the shockwave treatment works, I have not had many flairups because it works. It breaks down the swelling, inflammation, scar tissue, increases blood flow...etc. My muscles are not pulling my waist as tight in one direction anymore.
Now my most recent issue which one would think why the Chiropractor for this. I woke up the other week and couldent walk on my foot. Thought I stepped wrong at work and pulled a muscle. Over a few days it swelled and got worse. I ended up calling the office to get in for Shockwave knowing it helped my back before. I had, and have, Edema in my right foot, ankle, and calf. It was swollen. Like a balloon. They did the shock and Dr Chris told me to still see my primary which I did and found the reason for it and treating that as well. The Shockwave therapy REMOVED AND DRAINED THE EDEMA!!!! It's not a one time fix due to the cause of the Edema but just had another treatment and still a few more to go. The progress is amazing. I'll upload the before and after pic and you can determine yourself. It's just WOW!
Like i said, I love the treatment, the staff, and I'll continue to come here because if it wasn't for them, I'd be falling apart more then I am now. They keep me tuned up.
(Sorry the after pic of my un swollen foot doesn't show much of the ankle)
You’re not just another appointment on their schedule—they make you feel seen, heard, and cared for. After experiencing the level of care here, I can confidently say I will never go to another chiropractic office again. This team has set the bar incredibly high, and I’m so grateful to have found them.
