Heel pain, worse in the morning when arising, after sitting a long time, and often loosens up after walking a bit – sounds like plantar fasciitis, right? Maybe. Let’s look at an interesting case of heel pain and how it responded to a multimodal approach to care.
In 2018, about 19.2% of adults or 49,536,000 people in the U.S. experienced mental illness. Neuroplastic brain changes, specifically improvements in either prefrontal cortex or cerebellar function, could explain many of the clinically relevant changes documented following chiropractic care.
Restoring classic cars is challenging and requires specialized knowledge and appreciation of their beauty. Likewise, the human body is a truly magnificent piece of engineering and design.
