Not sure if your plantar fasciitis needs a doctor? Our La Cañada Flintridge chiropractors walk through the warning signs that mean it's time to get checked.
Most cases of plantar fasciitis are frustrating but not dangerous. That said, there are specific patterns we take seriously — and if any of these apply to you, don't wait.
Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the tissue on the bottom of the foot — worst with the first steps in the morning. Foot, ankle, and hip mechanics all play a role.

The Red Flags
Pain that wakes you up at night and doesn't ease with position change.
Numbness, tingling, or weakness that's spreading or getting worse.
Loss of bowel or bladder control, or new numbness in the saddle area — this is a rare emergency, go to the ER.
Fever, unexplained weight loss, or night sweats alongside the pain.
Pain that's steadily worsening over weeks despite rest and self-care.
