FOOT & ANKLE PAIN

Foot & Ankle Pain

We all have experienced foot or ankle pain at some point in our lives. The bones in our feet and ankles are small but mighty! They can withstand a lot of force when we walk, run, and jump. So, it is important that these joints function optimally to allow you to run, jog, jump, etc without too much trouble.

Chiropractic manipulation is shown to be effective at alleviating foot and ankle pain, restoring proper joint range of motion, and improving stability via a combination of specific rehab exercises. Some common causes of foot pain include:

  • Peripheral nerve impingement

  • Ankle sprains (Inversion or eversion ankle sprain, high ankle sprain)

  • Morton’s neuroma

  • Hammer toes, Mallet toes, claw toes

  • Bunions

  • Plantar Fasciitis

  • Stress fractures

  • Collapsed arch and improper orthotic fitting/evaluation
