While you might assume that chiropractors only deal with back and neck pain, they also treat foot pain, too. At Spine Pain Center in Irmo, SC, / Columbia, SC, we offer different types of chiropractic treatments and functional medicine for foot pain. If you’re experiencing symptoms of foot or leg pain, contact us today to find out how we can help. You may think it’s odd that a chiropractor can also work on feet issues but your feet are connected to the human musculoskeletal system- meaning that foot pain can affect other areas of the body and vice versa.

Chiropractic Treatment for Foot Pain

Symptoms that may accompany foot pain may include a sharp and shooting pain, numbness, or a tingling feeling. Part of our functional medicine plan is to start by assessing the complete skeletal system to help us identify the source of your foot pain. Although you feel the pain in your feet, the actual cause of your feet problems may originate in your knees or hips. Once we identify the cause and source of the pain, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan that may include:

• Soft tissue mobilization and exercises:  When the soft tissues of the legs and/or feet become tense and inflamed, it can lead to chronic foot pain. With the right soft tissue work and targeted exercises, you may be able to relieve tension, reduce inflammation, and begin the process of healing.
• Adjustments: You probably think of adjustments of the spine when you visit a chiropractor near you but we can also do the same thing for your feet and ankles. Whether you need sports injury treatment or help with issues like neuropathy, we’ll provide adjustments to help make sure everything is properly aligned.
• Custom orthotics: We can provide orthotics specially designed around the aspects of your foot to give you comfort and support whenever you wear your shoes. This may help relieve your pain and make walking easier.
