Ankle, Foot & The Spine

The foot and ankle are a very complicated body part. It is made of many bones. The ankle made up of 2 rows of bones that fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. When healthy it provides a very unique type of motion. It allows for movement in all directions. When we have dysfunction in the ankle or foot it can affect the entire lower extremity and even the spine. The human body is amazing, and any part can have a domino effect on other areas

Past studies have shown that gait abnormalities starting with the ankle can lead to pelvic misalignments. This of course can lead to lower back pain and dysfunction. This is easy to recognize by observation of the way people walk. Gait correction and proper foot and ankle motion are very important when it comes to proper biomechanics of the spine.

When Dr. William Morgan of Morgan Chiropractic in Stuart Florida found that the patients who have proper ankle and foot biomechanics tend to hold their adjustments better. There is a faster recovery and overall better function. It is important that all areas of the body are addressed to get the best possible results. It is very common that patients present with both lower extremity and low back pain. A thorough evaluation will determine if you fall into this category. If you are struggling with back or foot pain, chiropractic might be an answer to your problem.
