Why would you see a chiropractor for foot and or ankle pain?

Chronic Unrelenting Foot & Ankle Pain?

Tired feet? Painful feet? What makes you so special, understand you are not alone. The feet do not garner enough attention. Many foot issues can be solved with the proper fitting of shoes. Sure you were a size 12 in college, but now you may be a size 13 or 14. Foot size can change especially as we age. The 26 bones of the feet start to spread out and the arch comes under fire as it weakens. So from a structural standpoint, the feet are quite important. When your arch is solidly in place it basically holds up your entire body. So try and put the importance of good feet into a new perspective. It used to be we would go to the shoe store and be fitted by the salesman. That is rarely happening these days. Wearing shoes that fit and support makes sense and can save you from having foot pain.

Chiropractor for foot pain?

Poor alignment of the 26 bones in your feet can cause excruciating pain. It makes sense that when the tiny but all-important bones of the feet misalign that you will experience issues all the way to the low back. Hips start to wear out, the meniscus in the knee starts to degenerate. All this because you didn't have a well-fitted shoe? Sadly, yes it can happen. A chiropractor trained in treating the foot may be the answer to your foot pain. The foot has a large number of specialized nerves that get irritated when the foot is out of balance. Adjusting the feet can be a valuable tool in relieving your foot pain.

Orthotics for painful feet

There are low-cost methods to help stabilize your foot pain. Simply go online and look for a solid insert. The soft inserts do not meet my criteria for added support. If the lower cost inserts help great. If not you have to see a podiatrist for specially fitted inserts that are customized to your feet. This is a more expensive option but I think you would agree that you are worth it. After the chiropractor repositions the bones in the feet the orthotics help prevent a reoccurrence. This is where a podiatrist and a chiropractor can work together to help you with your foot pain.
