Step into Good Foot Health and Body Health

You may not give your feet much thought, but at Reimer Chiropractic & Massage Wellness Center, we have seen the pain that can be caused if your feet are neglected. April's designation as Foot Awareness Month gives us an ideal opportunity to note how important good foot health can be. It not only affects your feet, but can play a role in your overall body health. If you are walking with an irregular gait, for instance, you can experience pain in your feet as well as other parts of your body. The situation can also eventually lead to more severe issues.

Let Palo Alto Chiropractor Check Your Gait

Our Palo Alto chiropractor Dr. Mary Reimer can perform a full evaluation and examination that includes checking your feet and walking gait. One of the more common situations that can lead to problems is a gait that is overly pronated, marked by feet that turn inward while you walk. Repeated pronation can result in shoes that are irregularly worn on the soles, pain in your legs and feet, and even an eventual misalignment in your spine a pelvis.

Correcting the misalignment becomes a priority, followed by correcting the underlying cause of the problem. Dr. Reimer can tailor a corrective adjustment plan based on your specific misalignment issues. We can also provide custom correctional orthotics, which are shoe inserts that can help correct your gait. This two-part plan helps ensure your spine and pelvis are once again properly aligned and that the issue is less likely to recur in the future.

Custom orthotic inserts from our Mountain View and Los Altos healing arts center can help alleviate knee pain, heel pain, and foot pain. They can help a sports injury, plantar fasciitis, bunions, corns, calluses, Achilles tendonitis, hammertoe, and issues related to diabetes. They can restore proper balance, biomechanics, and support for flat feet, fallen arches or high arches. Treat your feet by visiting us today.
