Abstract/Notes

Objective: To document the observed effects of a single intervention of extremity manipulation on a patient with plantar fascia-related pain.

Clinical Features: A 32-year-old athlete had sharp pain and stiffness around the inferior/medial portion of his left heel and midfoot.

Intervention and Outcomes: An extremity manipulation was performed, aimed at the midfoot across the tarsals. Following the manipulation, there was an immediate reduction of pain, an improvement in range of motion and perceived gait biomechanics, and a decreased sensitivity to manual palpation. He received no additional intervention. A follow-up was conducted over the course of 3 weeks at 1-week intervals. He reported no pain or stiffness at each follow-up.

Conclusion: Those suffering from heel pain, specifically plantar fasciosis, may be strong candidates for extremity manipulation. More research is needed to establish a stronger association between extremity manipulation and plantar fasciosis.
