Walking and Chiropractic

The average person takes about 10,000 steps on a daily basis. The feet provide stability and balance for your body. Fallen arches can effect your body’s position and weight distribution. Structural foot problems can create neck and low back pain. This in turn causes the hips and knees to overwork.

Your Doctor of Chiropractic knows that foot imbalances can be corrected by adjustments to the feet, and you may also be fitted for orthotics. Orthotics can help balance the body, and provide stability to injured areas.

Foot problems may not always result in pain. Your chiropractic adjustments also have less chance of holding if the feet are out of balance.

Consult your chiropractor if you are experiencing back and foot problems.

  4. Wow...I was not aware that the average person walks that much in day! Your suggestion to use orthotics is a great idea! Without them...my feet would be hurting every day.

  6. Candy,
    The orthotics can be built with an cushioned heel to support the heel spur. It helps alot.

    Thank you,

  7. Hi Loan Guy,
    Yes, most chiropractors can cast your feet for orthotics. They work great if you need them.

    Thank you,
