Hand & Foot Chiropractor Gulfport FL | Plantar Fasciitis & Carpal Tunnel
Hand and foot pain can drastically impact your ability to work, exercise, and enjoy everyday activities. Gulfport Chiropractic is uniquely positioned as a Hand & Foot Clinic. Dr. Aaron Day brings specialized training to treat conditions like plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and general extremity joint stiffness. This care is especially relevant for nail technicians, surgeons, athletes, and others whose daily routines place repetitive demands on their hands, wrists, feet, and ankles.
Common Symptoms
- Sharp heel pain with first steps in the morning (Plantar Fasciitis)
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the hands or wrists (Carpal Tunnel)
- Aching arches or stiffness along the bottom of the foot
- Pain in the hands or feet that worsens after long shifts
- Loss of grip strength or difficulty with fine motor tasks
- Discomfort that improves with movement but returns after rest
How Chiropractic May Help
Care begins with determining whether symptoms appear to come from joint motion, repetitive load, soft tissue irritation, nerve involvement, or another cause. When appropriate, Dr. Day may use extremity joint work, soft tissue techniques, taping, mobility exercises, and practical activity guidance.
What to Expect at Your Visit
- Detailed biomechanical assessment of your hands, wrists, feet, or ankles
- Gait analysis and posture evaluation to see how your extremities affect your whole body
- Targeted adjustments specific to the small joints of the extremities
- Myofascial release and soft tissue therapy
- Clear red flag screening: If your symptoms suggest a fracture, severe tendon tear, or infection, we will refer you to the appropriate medical specialist.
Frequently Asked Questions about Hand & Foot Clinic
How is a Hand & Foot Clinic different from a standard chiropractor?
While all chiropractors are trained to adjust the spine, Dr. Day has invested in specialized training for extremity adjusting. This means we have specific protocols for the 27 bones in the hand and 26 bones in the foot that most general practices do not focus on.
Can chiropractic help plantar fasciitis?
Some patients use chiropractic and soft tissue care as one part of a conservative plantar fasciitis plan. Dr. Day will evaluate your foot and related movement patterns and explain whether this approach is appropriate for you.
Do I need to prepare for my hand or foot appointment?
Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes that are easy to remove. If you have any recent X-rays or MRI reports of your hands or feet, please bring them.
