Plantar Fasciitis Treatment in Greenville and Winterville

Care That Keeps You Moving

You deserve feet that support an active, joyful life. At O’Donahue Chiropractic, we focus on restoring healthy foot function so you can walk, work, and play with confidence. Dr. James O’Donahue starts by listening, then performs a hands-on exam and, when needed, on-site X‑rays to find the actual cause. Our goal is simple: correct faulty mechanics, calm irritation, and help you thrive without drugs or surgery.

What Plantar Fasciitis Is—and Why Function Matters

Plantar means the bottom of the foot; fasciitis is inflammation of the fascia and binding tissues under the arch. Poor footwear and neglect can affect normal gait. When motion is restricted, the body tightens the plantar fascia and the small foot muscles, which can irritate the heel and even contribute to the formation of spurs. Injections may numb symptoms, but they don’t correct how the foot moves. We target the root cause with gait and foot biomechanics care.

Helping With Precise Foot Adjustments and Advanced Laser

Dr. O’Donahue gently adjusts the foot in its proper planes to restore joint motion and balance. We pair this with Multi Radiance laser therapy, a form of photobiomodulation that uses therapeutic light to reduce irritation, ease pain, and support tissue recovery without medication side effects.

When appropriate, we use the Activator Method®, a handheld instrument that delivers a controlled pulse to make precise, comfortable adjustments. Many plans begin with active care, three visits per week for six to eight weeks, then shift to maintenance; some patients choose weekly laser for ongoing support.

Our team can help you with:

  • Morning arch stiffness or tight calves
  • Recurring heel or arch tenderness
  • Difficulty standing or walking for extended periods
  • Flat feet, overpronation, or “jammed” gait mechanics
  • Heel spurs and post-activity soreness
  • A desire for a drug-free, non-surgical solution

Real Results, Real Momentum

Three of our local teachers came to us considering surgery. After combined chiropractic and laser care, their discomfort dropped significantly. They were able to stay in their classroom and now receive a mid‑week laser session to remain strong. We see outcomes like this often because we correct mechanics and support healing. Our mission is to keep you active, confident, and out of surgery.
