Cashel Chiropractic’s Dr. Rob has the knowledge, skills, experience, and tools to correct poor posture. Book your initial consultation today, and let us get you on the path to improved posture and the peak of health.

A few of the health benefits of proper posture are:

• Proper alignment of bones and joints
• Reduced stress and wear on ligaments, muscles, and joints
• Less risk of back, hip, knee, and ankle injuries
• Increased energy – less fatigue
• Improved sleep
• Improved mood
• Improved digestion

On your first visit, our Lehi, UT, chiropractor will carefully listen to your concerns and your health goals and then review your full medical history with you.

This will be followed by observation of your posture, range of motion, muscle strength, and how you sit and walk. Any deviation from proper posture will be measured and documented.

Then, the doctor will palpate (feel) your full spine to determine if there is any vertebral displacement that may be affecting your posture. 

If warranted, digital imaging (X-ray, MRI, or CT scan) may be ordered to ensure our Lehi chiropractor can conduct a thorough visual assessment of the spine and associated soft tissues. 

Finally, using the findings gathered from the steps above, our doctor will determine a comprehensive, scientifically based, effective, and efficient treatment plan tailored to achieve your health and posture goals.

Research indicates that plantar fasciitis is very common, and roughly 10% of all people will experience it in their lifetime. 

If you are suffering foot pain that has lasted more than a week, you should schedule an appointment with our Lehi, UT, chiropractor at Cashel Chiropractic. There are many treatments available for it, and we have the knowledge, skills, and experience to relieve your pain and get you on the road to optimal foot health.

• Age:People between the ages of 40-60 are most susceptible to plantar fasciitis.
• Weight: People who are overweight put extra pressure on their plantar fascia and are more likely to suffer from this issue.
• Flat feet or high arch: Certain foot conditions can place added stress on the plantar fascia.
• Recreational activities:Some recreational activities like distance running, ballet, or aerobics can place excessive stress on the plantar fascia and can lead to plantar fasciitis.
• Work ocnditions:Work that requires you to stand for long hours on hard surfaces (for example nurses, hair stylists, and fast food workers) puts excess stress on the plantar fascia and can result in plantar fasciitis.
• Footwear: Poor-fitting shoes or high heels can place excessive pressure on the plantar fascia and lead to plantar fasciitis.

• Chiropractic adjustments:  Rob may adjust your feet and ankles to correct your feet’s biomechanics and relieve stress on the plantar fascia.
• Stretches:  Rob may instruct you on how to do specific stretches, exercises, and movements that can help you alleviate pain and reduce inflammation in the bottom of your feet.
• Graston Technique:  Rob may utilize Graston Technique to relieve soft tissue inflammation and scarring.
• Night splint:  Rob may recommend you wear a night splint when sleeping. A night splint looks similar to a boot or sock. You put the splint on your foot at bedtime, and the device lifts your toes and holds your foot in a gentle stretch all night long.

Dr. Rob will carefully listen to your concerns and review your full medical history with you. 

This will be followed by an examination of your foot and ankle as well as an observation of your step and gait as you walk. 

If warranted, digital imaging (X-ray, MRI, or CT scan) may be ordered to ensure the doctor can conduct a thorough visual assessment of the foot, ankle, and associated bone and soft tissues. 

Finally, using the findings gathered from the steps above, our Lehi chiropractor will determine a comprehensive, scientifically based, effective, and efficient treatment plan tailored to relieve your plantar fasciitis pain and achieve your individual health and recovery goals.
