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.

Do You Have Foot Pain?

The human foot serves as the foundation of the body, combining mechanical complexity and structural strength. The ankle specifically serves as the shock absorber and propulsion engine of the body. The foot and ankle are designed to sustain enormous pressure while providing flexibility and resiliency.

The foot and the ankle are made up of……..
· 26 bones
· 33 joints and more than 100 muscles.


These components work together to provide the body with support, balance, and mobility. A structural flaw or malfunction in any one part can result in the development of problems elsewhere in the body.

Supination of the foot occurs when the foot rolls outward at the ankle. The most common symptoms of supination are pain through the arch of the foot or pain in the heel. The pain can usually be associated with plantar fascitis or heel spurs. Other symptoms can be back and knee pain.

Pronation of the foot is a condition that occurs when the arch of the foot collapses. Often, pronation occurs as a result of strain on the foot. If pronation is left untreated, serious problems can arise.
