Foot Pain
Everyone has had the
experience of crossing your legs and then
having one of them go numb. We usually refer
to the sensation we have as "gone to sleep".
Sometimes that tingling sensation appears
for no apparent reason. This is often traced
to nerve compression. Nerve compression is
often caused by misalignments of the spinal
bones. Until this is corrected, the
condition will only continue and possibly
worsen with time.
Chiropractors know that problems exhibited
in the foot are not always created there.
Spinal examinations can determine exactly
where the misaligned spinal bones are and
through gentle spinal adjustments, realign
them.
Another cause of foot pain can be from poor
walking posture. Chiropractors may suggest a
pair of custom orthotics. Orthotics
are worn in the shoe to help
support the foot, thus helping to correct
poor walking posture. Not only can you
experience foot pain from poor walking
posture, but you can also develop back and
leg problems.
Another cause is women wearing high heel
shoes. Along with foot pain, high heel
wearers can experience back, knee, hip and
pelvic pain. High heels force an unnatural
forward curvature of the spine and create an
unbalanced position in the entire body. When
the unbalance occurs, other systems in the
body have to compensate for it. This
compensation can cause misalignment in the
spinal bones.
Along with gentle chiropractic adjustments
to realign the spinal bones, a
chiropractor will also advise on a healthier
approach to footwear.
