Chiropractic care is more than just adjusting the spine as we treat many conditions from top of the head to the bottom of the foot and heel. I love treating athletes and I saw a runner recently with heel pain that responded well to my care. She was a cross country runner logging 60 + miles per week. She was noticing a change in her gait which was starting to affect her back.
Chiropractors are trained to examine the extremities and we looked at her heel, foot, her knee, hip and back. There was definite foot issues with her foot rotating inward causing her arch to fall. This caused her to walk abnormally which aggravated her knee and hip making her low back tight.
We supported her foot with orthotics, adjusted her knee, hip and lowback. Her heel pain improved quickly and in short order she was back running and came back in for prevention of future problems.
