There aren't too many activities that don't depend on your feet. That being the case, why do you neglect them? Whether you're a weekend warrior, a professional athlete or somewhere in between, proper foot care will help keep you in the game.
Your feet are the foundation for your entire body. They allow you to stand, walk, run, and jump; and absorb damaging shock that enters your body every time your heel hits the ground. Doctors of chiropractic can provide you with structural management to evaluate the weaknesses and imbalances in your body.
If you don't think you have foot imbalances, think again. Eighty percent of people develop some type of foot imbalance by the age of 20, and virtually everyone has foot imbalances by the age of 40. After years of standing, walking and wearing shoes, the arches of your feet gradually weaken and are not able to provide the necessary support for your body. Because structural imbalances and weaknesses can increase your risk of injury, they should be addressed immediately with treatment, support and exercises.
Once your chiropractor has evaluated your body's structure and identified any imbalances or weaknesses, they can correct the problems by developing a program that combines specific chiropractic adjustments, custom-made orthotics and a personalized conditioning program. This program usually will be based on three things: your individual needs, your fitness goals, and how well you progress with the exercises your doctor has recommended. Your feet go the distance for you; find out what you can do for them.
