Amazing Shoes!

Avoid Foot pain, chiropractic care

Today’s society is extremely high fashion and style conscious but looking your best may not always be the best thing for you. Runway models have perfected the “walk” but for most of us, popular shoes can create foot, leg, back, and neck problems.
High heels alter the balanced position of the body and change the weight distribution in the foot. This increases the normal forward curve of the back and neck and causes the pelvis to tip forward. This encourages your hamstrings to shorten. And, these imbalances increase your chances of toe problems, heel and foot pain, and bunions.
I recommend looking for a shoe with a supportive sole that has some give. A good arch support helps too. Your toes are not symmetric so look for a wide toe box with space for all your toes. And last, look for a heel support in back and strap support across the ankle. Following these tips, you can be fashion forward and health smart.
Did you know that we work on foot problems in our office? We adjust the bones in the feet to help alignment and have many techniques to work on the muscles and other tissues in the foot. Many of our patients have been helped with foot pain, plantar fascitis, and foot neuropathies.
