It will come as no surprise that our feet take a pretty relentless beating. Most of us use them daily, and many of us are on them more than we’re off them. What may be a surprise is that chiropractic care can significantly help with foot and ankle discomfort.

Maybe you have an active lifestyle or work in a position that necessitates standing on your feet throughout the day, or maybe your feet just need some extra attention. No matter the circumstances, our feet are often at risk due to the amount of pressure we put on them.

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.

Our office works with several patients who experience various kinds of foot pain, providing non-invasive care and insight for getting and maintaining healthy feet. We will use proven chiropractic methods to restore function so you can work, get active, sleep, and enjoy a comfortable lifestyle.

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.

 

Popular reasons for foot pain include:

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar Fasciitis is a common term used to describe pain at the bottom of the foot. However, it is not always the bottom of the foot that is the problem. Foot pain can be caused by a build-up of scar tissue in the muscles crossing the foot and ankle, as well as in the calf.

The muscles and ligaments that cross the ankle joint need to be evaluated if you have foot and ankle pain. Muscle adhesions will decrease the ankle’s range of motion, making the muscles in your legs and feet weaker and less flexible.


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.
