When you step out of bed in the morning, do you experience foot pain symptoms? Does pain prevent you from standing, walking or exercising? Is it difficult to fit into your shoes? Are you looking for foot pain relief?
There are a multitude of causes of foot pain:
Once testing and evaluations are completed, a foot pain diagnosis is made:
Rehabilitation: The focus is on pain relief, healing, restoring function and movement and to improve body mechanics. Patients learn proper stretching and strengthening exercises. Additional treatment options may include assistive devices and orthotics.
Chiropractic: Soft tissue techniques increase flexibility of the calf muscles, correcting functional risk factors - such as tightness of the gastroc muscles and/or soleus muscles, and weakness of the intrinsic foot muscles. Other treatment options include Physical Manipulation, which allow joints to be directly adjusted - reducing pain and stiffness, Trigger Point Therapy, Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression, Heat Therapy and Cold Therapy.
Therapeutic Massage: Speeds recovery from injuries, especially when integrated with chiropractic care. Helps to restore balance to the body, mind and spirit.
Nutritional Support: Proper nutrition and supplementation – fuel for the body, are essential for a speedy recovery.
Lifestyle Recommendations: It is necessary to change or modify activities that cause pain, modify the home and work areas, maintain proper posture while standing, sitting or sleeping and wear comfortable and supportive shoes, when seeking a cure for foot pain.
