YOUR FOUNDATION / YOUR FEET

Chiropractors assess gait and posture.  They look at how people walk and look at a person’s stance.  The feet are the foundation of the body and without a solid foundation other parts of the body may not function correctly and in turn that creates knee and back problems.

Adjustments to the foot ankle, hip, knee, or back can be done.  Orthotics can be dispensed.  This may help alleviate plantar fasciitis or heel spurs.  This may also help with unwanted knee or back pain. 

If a patient comes in complaining of foot or knee pain, I will look at their stance and gait. I treat the misalignment of the spine to help to see if any imbalances may be impacting the feet. I take a look at the shoes and examine them to see if there is a pattern in the soles. I may dispense orthotics.  I may sometimes take an x-ray to see if one leg is shorter than the other and if yes, depending on how much the discrepancy is I will have the patient try a lift in the shoes.   If you are having issues with your feet, come by and let me take a look at your foundation to see if it is balanced.  I welcome challenging health issues and will extend you a free consultation.  Give our office a call at (818)881-2225.  We are in Tarzana close to Woodland Hills, Reseda, Van Nuys, Northridge, West Hills, and Sherman Oaks.  We are just a phone call away (818)881-2225.
