Foot pain is never easy to deal with because it can compromise your ability to walk and carry out day-to-day activities. Even the mildest ache can cause problems and make you uncertain about your balance and steadiness. At Family Chiropractic & Wellness, we see many patients with foot pain and are able to provide them with considerable relief.
What Causes Foot Pain?
The foot is a remarkably sensitive part of our body, though most people don’t consider it to be so. The appendage senses the ground underneath and sends the information to your brain. This helps you keep your balance and avoid areas that won’t offer a secure footing. The appendage has 26 bones and a large number of sensitive nerves so there’s a lot of potential for pain. You may experience foot pain because of the following:
- Recent injury.
- Excessive walking or running.
- Strenuous activity like dancing, especially ballet dancing.
- Excessive use of high-heeled shoes or ill-fitting shoes.
- Pressure on the feet due to obesity.
In all of these cases, it’s important to address the root cause of your foot pain. However, a chiropractor can help reduce the pain and offer some relief.
How Can A Chiropractor Help?
A chiropractor can treat all kinds of foot pain with the help of adjustments and massages. They will help alleviate the pressure from compressed nerves and correct misaligned bones in your feet. They will also offer advice on how to deal with the root cause of the problem.
For example, for overweight patients, chiropractors will provide the right diet and exercise plan to help them shed the pounds even as they address the foot pain. They will be able to treat problems like ball of the foot pain, top of the foot pain, side of the foot pain, and heel pain.
