Chiropractic care addresses issues with your muscles, nerves, and joints, especially in the spine and extremities. Often foot and ankle problems often start much further “up the chain”, including the knees, hips and pelvis. For foot and ankle pain, chiropractors use hands-on techniques (sometimes specialized instruments) to adjust and mobilize the affected areas. These adjustments aim to reduce pain, improve movement, and restore overall normal function.

Is it safe?

Yes, chiropractic care is safe when performed by a licensed and trained chiropractor. Serious complications from adjustments are very rare, especially compared to the side effects of medications and the risks of surgery. Chiropractors undergo extensive training to ensure they can provide effective care without causing harm. During your first appointment, we will discuss your health history and address any concerns you may have before starting treatment.
