When the feet or ankles are out of balance, we can feel unsteady and rely on other areas of the body in order to protect those that are harmed. This creates additional problems and can lead to further pain and injury.

Why Do I Have Foot Pain?

When you think about the size of our feet compared to the size of our bodies, it’s easy to determine their strength and understand their requirement for care. Supporting our entire body weight on a daily basis is pretty remarkable in and of itself, but for those who use their feet more often and rely on them for a higher standard than the rest of us, proper foot maintenance is essential.

The feet are made up of a complex system of bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and nerves. These things work together to help us walk, stand, run, jump, and stay balanced. Providing our feet with safe and healing chiropractic services is a great way to ensure they can do their job at the highest level.

Achilles tendon injuries

If you are suffering from pain near the ankle, it could be your Achilles tendon. The fibers that make up the tendon will become disorganized with overuse. It is essential to seek treatment for pain in the Achilles tendon as it can lead to further damage and injury down the road.

Ankle sprains

Ankle sprains can cause damage to the small ankle ligaments. If not treated, the ligaments can form adhesions or scar tissue and decrease the range of motion in the ankle. Reduced range of motion will speed up degeneration of the ankle joint. Finding and fixing adhesion and scar tissue early will lessen the long-term degeneration due to an ankle injury.

Calf strains

Overuse of the calf muscles will cause adhesion to develop and decrease functionality. Adhesions will make the calf more susceptible to strains because the areas that are loaded with adhesion can’t lengthen and contract properly, causing other areas of the calf to become overused. When the calf muscles are overused, foot and ankle problems can occur, leading to decreased range of motion and pain.

Other common reasons you may experience foot and ankle discomfort include:

• Fractures or broken bones
• Fallen arches
• Sprains and strains
• Bruised tissue
• Weak or irritated muscles
• Overuse
• And more

These things can cause mild discomfort or be completely debilitating and lead to any of the following:

• Limping
• Inability to apply weight to one foot
• Inability to rotate the ankle
• Loss of range of motion and flexibility
• The other foot overcompensating due to favoring one side
• Pain spreading up the leg into the hip
• And more

When our natural gait is thrown off balance, we can put undue pressure on other joints and muscles, forcing our bodies to work harder. However, it can also cause physical damages as well, including soreness in the entire lower body, aches throughout the back, and even headaches.

We will use safe, reliable resources to determine the cause of your foot discomfort and put a natural plan in action that rids you of pain and gets you a healthy body.

Runners and athletes

Runners, triathletes, tennis players, and dancers are all more susceptible to foot injury than most. They know first-hand how debilitating foot and ankle pain can be.

Without proper treatment, injuries to the foot and ankle can leave you with a lifetime of pain and recurring injuries, as it takes you away from the sport you love.
