    "Feet" and "chiropractic" are two words you don't often hear in the same sentence, but you should!  Chiropractors are trained to treat many different foot conditions.  Some of the most common foot problems include plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia, fallen arches, ankle pain, and foot pain.  Here are a few definitions:
   Plantar fasciitis:  If you have pain on the bottom of your foot that gets worse after standing for a while and sometimes is quite painful just after stepping out of bed, you could have plantar fasciitis.  The tissues (plantar fascia) on the bottom of the feet become irritated and painful and can be quite intense.
    Metatarsalgia:  General pain in the ball of the foot is called metatarsalgia.  It can be caused by overuse, unsupportive shoes, misalignment of the bones in the foot, and several other reasons.
    Fallen Arches:  No, I'm not talking about the "Golden Arches."  The arch is a key element to your foot structure.  If there is no arch or a small arch, or in some cases a high arch, there can be problems.  Arch problems lead to pain in the foot, ankles, knees, hips, and lower back.  Your feet are your base of support and if the arches have fallen, then your support is gone.
    Ankle Pain:  Ankle pain can be a result of fallen arches, ankle sprains or ankle valgus deformity (kind of like knock knees but for the ankles).  If not treated, they can lead to ankle instability.
    Foot Pain:  This is a vague category.  Everything already mentioned fits here.  However, there are some foot conditions that are simply caused by misalignments in the bones of the foot, arthritis or other problems.  As chiropractors, we examine your foot, your lifestyle, your shoes, your lower back . . . whatever is needed to figure out the cause of your pain.
    Another important thing to consider is what affect your feet have on the rest of your body.  As mentioned earlier, your feet are the foundation of your support.  If you weaken the foundation of a home, it puts the whole house at risk.  Your body is no different.  There are many times when patients come to us with low back pain and it turns out that the root of the problem is coming from an old ankle sprain or a flat arch.  So, when you think of feet, think of chiropractic.  If you or anyone you know is having foot symptoms, let us know!  Treating the whole body is important when the goal is to get you back to health.
