Chiropractic Care for Foot and Ankle Pain
Chiropractic care focuses on addressing issues with muscles, nerves, and joints, particularly in the spine and extremities. It’s important to note that foot and ankle problems often originate from higher up in the body, such as the knees, hips, and pelvis. Sometimes even originating in the neck! Chiropractors use hands-on techniques, and sometimes specialized instruments, to adjust and mobilize the affected areas to reduce pain, improve movement, and restore overall normal function.
