Foot Pain Suffers In Portland Find Relief Through Chiropractic

By Tabatha Fickel


Individuals who suffer foot pain often find each step painful. Chiropractors are trained to locate the source of the pain and provide natural, drug free therapy to reduce their suffering. Many patients have found relief through the services offered at a Portland Chiropractic clinic.

The chiropractor pinpoints the source of the pain before providing therapy. While the source is not necessarily located at the point of pain, the location provides the doctor with clues as to where the there is a problem in the foot. The chiropractor then provides therapy designed to bring correction.

Many times the trouble is biomechanical. The patient's complaints stem from wearing inappropriate or non-supportive shoes. The doctor recommends a change in footwear or adds support devices and the injuries are able to heal.

Many times the underlying cause of pain is over pronation. As a result the foot twists in an unnatural position and a bundle of connective tissues, known as the fascia is stretched. The continual pressure causes tears of the fibers at the heel. To protect from further damage, bone spurs form, causing pain.

Chiropractors take the time to listen to their patients and consider each as a unique individual. The patient's medical history offers clues as to the cause of their pain. The doctor asks about when the problem began and actions that increase or decrease the symptoms. He then uses appropriate therapy to allow the natural healing ability of the body to take charge so the underlying cause begins to heal and pain is reduced.

Problems with the foot can be very painful. Pain killing medication often can allow the sufferer to increase the damage already done to the foot. However, a Portland chiropractic doctor provides noninvasive therapy to help encourage the body's natural healing ability. Many patients have found the care received greatly reduces or even eliminates the pain they experience.

  1. Foot pain is all too common among runners, and there are a number of sources. One very common source of foot pain is the plantar fascia. The plantar fascia is a thick band of connective tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot.Thanks for sharing this information.
