How Chiropractic Care Can Help with Sore Feet

• Find yourself grimacing constantly over sore feet?
• Having trouble in mobility?
• Feeling restricted with ankle, foot, and toe joints?
• Diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia?

These feelings, among many others, could be common conditions of the feet and if you suffer from them, you’ve come to the right place!

According to the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) that over 70 percent of Americans are affected by foot pain, but only a third of them would seek expert care. This information reveals foot pain is one of the most common, but least spoken conditions in the US.

Feet have a very intricate structure. 26 bones, 33 complex joints give multiple muscles and tendons in the foot a wide range of movement. Thanks to this structure, you can stand, walk, run, as well as punt the football as high as possible. 

Feet take quite a heavy beating, considering the forces they are put through. So, when you have sore feet, your whole body reacts by changing your natural movement. Assessing and taking care of any misalignments or dysfunction is the core of chiropractic care. By treating complex joints of the ankle and foot, chiropractic can help relieve conditions and target the root cause associated with sore feet.
