Chiropractors know that problems exhibited in the foot are not always created there. Spinal examinations can determine exactly where the misaligned spinal bones are and through gentle spinal adjustments, realign them.
Another cause of foot pain can be from poor walking posture. Chiropractors may suggest a pair of custom orthotics. Orthotics are worn in the shoe to help support the foot, thus helping to correct poor walking posture. Not only can you experience foot pain from poor walking posture, but you can also develop back and leg problems.
Along with gentle chiropractic adjustments to realign the spinal bones, the doctors at Lindsey Chiropractic will also advise on a healthier approach to footwear.
If the cause of your foot pain is found to be due to nerve impingement or altered biomechanics, our chiropractors my recommend a treatment plan involving chiropractic adjustments, exercises, activity modification and/or foot orthotics. If your condition requires a referral to another health care professional, one will be made for you.
High heel shoes
can be a source of foot pain.
Along with foot pain, high heel wearers can experience back, knee, hip and pelvic pain. High heels force an unnatural forward
curvature of the
spine and create
an unbalanced
position in the
entire body.
When the unbalance
occurs, other systems
in the body have to
compensate for it.
This compensation
can cause
misalignment
in the
spinal bones,
a source of pain.
