Foot Pain & Chiropractic Care

Most people think of podiatrists when seeking treatment for foot pain.  One has to remember that if you go to a podiatrist, you will be given few other options than bunion removal, rigid orthotics (appropriate for only about 15% of the population, the rest of us need slightly flexible ones as our arches are dynamic) or surgery.  Also, important to remember is that once surgery is performed, there is no reversal of the sometimes unintended consequences.

This week, we had a new patient who has been in considerable pain for four years.  He was scheduled for another surgery...he's had bunion removal and bone scraping performed, recently....to be done on the other foot, this time a much more invasive procedure to try to address his constant pain while walking.  He said that nothing that he nor another doctor has done has helped, with the exception of a particular type of shoe that allows him to at least be able to put some weight on the offending foot.

Although he was emotionally set for all the consequences that another surgery presented, he decided to try our office.  After his first treatment, he came out of the room with a huge smile on his face.  "There's 80% less pain in my foot!"  Needless to say, he rescheduled and we're going on a journey, together, to see what can be done to permanently correct the problem that has caused so much havoc in his life.
