A recent case involved a 44-year-old patient with a one-year history of heel pain. An examination led to a diagnosis of plantar fasciitis and weakness of the hip muscles. The patient received ten sessions of hip strengthening and manipulative therapy over a period of three months. After the conclusion of care, the patient reported a significant improvement in pain intensity. This case history demonstrates how a combination of hip strengthening and manipulative therapy can improve foot pain in a patient suffering from plantar fasciitis.
