Hello. I m 34 year old female overall fit and healthy. I have had right shoulder pain on and off for 4 years now. Chiropractors have worked on spinal adjustments and seem to recover than comes back. I also feel rush of energy and sensations in my left arm through to palm and fingers. Ball of left heel had been aching lately and physician said it could be Plantar Faciitis . Do I need a spine surgeon to look at it or MRI ? Some advice will be really helpful. Thank you.

Dear ,recovery of your shoulder pain treated by chiropractor comes back after a while means , there is fault in your immune system ,which can be rectified by modification of your life style and food habits .
Inclusion of essential nutrients in diet strengthen your muscles and tissues
and regular exercise enhances blood circulation help strengthens all vital parts of your system and pave way for your trouble free life .
Plantar fasciitis is thickening of the plantar fascia, a band of tissue running underneath the sole of the foot.
Whatever the name given , It can be due to recent damage or injury, or can be because of an accumulation of smaller injuries over the years .,

Risk factors are long periods of standing, an increase in exercise, and obesity. It is also associated with inward rolling of the foot and a lifestyle that involves little exercise , high arches of the feet, the presence of a leg length inequality, and flat feet. The tendency of flat feet to excessively roll inward during walking or running makes them more susceptible to plantar fasciitis.
for treatment ,include rest, heat, ice, calf-strengthening exercises, techniques to stretch the calf muscles, Achilles tendon, and plantar fascia, weight reduction in the overweight or obese .
Arch support can be most effective when combined with stretching.
