Foot Pain Suffers In Hueytown Find Relief Through Chiropractic Evaluation And Care

Foot Pain Suffers In Hueytown Find Relief Through Chiropractic Evaluation And Care


by Nelson Consiglio


Radicular pain that begins at the spine, where all nerve roots are located, radiates to all parts of the body. This radicular pain is referred to as sensory distribution. Chiropractors in Hueytown will examine the spinal column to locate disc herniation, also called a slipped disc.

At first observation the non-medical individual might wonder how a nerve in the back can transfer to the foot. However, it can and it does. This is called radicular pain due to the fact that it radiates all the way to the feet as well as other parts of the body.

A chiropractor will advise you not ignore pain in the feet. All pain can cause muscle degeneration over time. You may have to rest for a few days. Ice applications followed by heat applications may help to reduce inflammation and soothe the hurt.

Your first office visit will be spent discussing your condition. There are tests to be administered. Possibly an x-ray will be needed to clarify the problem. The feet and spine will both be examined physically. A series of questions will help the chiropractor complete an evaluation.

In addition to herniation, foot pain can be caused by excessive activity. Athletes and ballet dancers, especially those who perform in toe shoes, are in danger of developing Achilles tendonitis. One group of women can take preventative measures. They can stop wearing high heels every day.

After the evaluation is complete, your chiropractor will plan care that is specific to your situation. Spinal adjustments have had excellent results and are often the major course of action. You will be advised of special shoes and possibly an individualized exercise program will be tailored especially for your benefit.

There is no need to take medication, prescription or over-the-counter. This lack of dependence on medicine draws many toward chiropractic care. Also, the care is non-invasive. In some cases pain relief is noted within a short time. Of course, each individual responds to spinal adjustments at a different pace.
