Foot Pain Relief
Chiropractic Care for Lasting Foot Pain Relief
Foot pain is a common condition that can significantly impact your mobility, daily activities, and overall quality of life. Whether caused by injury, overuse, or underlying structural issues, foot pain can make it difficult to walk, stand, or even rest comfortably. At 100% Chiropractic, our foot pain chiropractors specialize in diagnosing and treating the deeper root causes of foot pain through holistic, non-invasive chiropractic care. Our treatments focus on restoring balance, improving alignment, and providing long-term relief, allowing you to get back on your feet and enjoy a pain-free life.
Understanding Foot Pain
The human foot is a complex structure consisting of 26 bones, 33 joints, and well over 100 vital muscles, tendons, and ligaments, all working together to support your body weight, absorb shock, and allow for movement. When any part of this intricate system becomes injured, strained, or misaligned, it can lead to pain and discomfort.
Foot pain can manifest in many different ways, including:
- Heel pain (often associated with plantar fasciitis)
- Arch pain or flat feet
- Ball of foot pain (metatarsalgia)
- Toe pain, including conditions like bunions or hammertoes
- Ankle pain or instability
- Numbness or tingling in the feet
- Pain from overuse or repetitive stress
Common Causes of Foot Pain
Plantar fasciitis, though you may not know it by name, is one of the most common causes of foot pain, particularly heel pain. It occurs when the thick band of tissue (plantar fascia) that runs along the bottom of a patient’s foot becomes inflamed. This condition often causes sharp, stabbing pain in the heel, most often in the morning or after long periods of rest.
Flat feet, also known as fallen arches, occur in individuals when the arches of the feet collapse, leading to pain and discomfort in the arch area. This condition can cause strain on the muscles and ligaments of the feet, as well as contribute to issues in the ankles, knees, and hips due to altered gait and alignment.
Ankle sprains are an all too common type of foot injury, often occurring when the ankle is twisted or turned in an awkward and harmful position. This can cause moderate to severe damage to the ligaments and lead to pain, swelling, and instability in the ankle joint.
Metatarsalgia refers to pain and inflammation in the ball of a patient’s foot, often caused by overuse or wearing high heels or poorly fitting shoes. This bothersome condition can make walking or standing for long periods painful and uncomfortable.
Conditions like tarsal tunnel syndrome or Morton’s neuroma occur when nerves in the foot become overly compressed or irritated, leading to pain, numbness, or tingling in the affected area.
Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can cause significant joint pain and stiffness in the feet, particularly in the toes, ankles, and midfoot. This can lead to swelling, decreased range of motion, and difficulty walking.
How a Foot Chiropractor Can Help
At 100% Chiropractic, our foot chiropractors take a holistic approach to foot pain treatment, addressing the underlying causes of your foot pain rather than just the symptoms.
Chiropractic adjustments at 100% Chiropractic are used to correct misalignments in the foot, ankle, and spine that may be contributing to your pain. Misaligned bones or joints in the foot can lead to uneven pressure distribution, strain on the muscles and ligaments, and improper movement patterns. By restoring proper alignment, chiropractic adjustments can help relieve pain and improve function.
For patients with flat feet or collapsed arches, chiropractic adjustments can also help improve the alignment of the foot and ankle, reducing strain on the soft tissues and restoring proper foot mechanics.
In addition to adjustments, soft tissue therapies such as myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and general massages can be used to relieve tension in the muscles and ligaments of the feet. These techniques help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote healing in injured or overworked tissues.
For patients with plantar fasciitis, soft tissue therapy can be particularly beneficial in relieving general pain and promoting recovery by addressing the tightness and inflammation in the plantar fascia.
Foot Orthotics and Support
Custom orthotics or shoe inserts may be recommended for some individuals to provide additional support for their feet, particularly if they have flat feet, high arches, or other structural issues. Orthotics help redistribute pressure across the foot, improve overall alignment, and reduce strain on the muscles and joints.
Our foot pain chiropractors can evaluate your gait and foot mechanics to determine if orthotics may be necessary and provide personalized recommendations for the best support.
