Foot Pain New Fairfield CT Orthotics
Shoes glorious shoes!  Most women and a great deal of men love their shoes.  They are designed to be worn for about eight months or 500 miles but like most of us it really depends on what we do in those 500 miles.  Just as a great car we want them to look good but maintenance and protection is always essential not only for the tires (soles) but the entire mechanical integrity of the machine (your body).

Understanding Your Feet

Your feet are the foundation of your body.  They support you when you stand, walk, or run.  The foot is constructed with three arches which, when properly maintained, give exceptional supportive strength. These three arches form a supporting vault that distributes the weight of the entire body.

But did you know,  they also help protect your spine, bones, and soft tissues from damaging stress as you move around?  Your feet perform better when all their muscles, arches, and bones are in their ideal stable positions.  So proper alignment will help your body from the ground up.

What If There Is A Misalignment?

If there is compromise of one arch in the foot, the other arches must compensate and are subject to additional stresses, which usually leads to further compromise.

It’s a chain reaction.

As Chiropractors we know alleviating pain in one part of your body often requires treating a different part. The pain you feel in your neck could be caused by a misalignment in your spine that is caused by unbalanced positioning in your feet.  By stabilizing and balancing your feet,  your body’s performance and efficiency increases while there is a reduction in pain, and and best of all contributes to your total body wellness.

We Can Help!

As you check your tires this season, take a moment and to check the threads of your shoes.  If they are worn or worn unevenly there maybe an imbalance that is causing your knee, hip, or even neck pain.

Our expert team is ready to help you get back and balanced so you can get an amazing more miles out of your well maintained body.

Great Steps to Helping Plantar Fasciitis

Foot Pain New Fairfield CT
Every step you take and every move you make can be exhaustively painful if you suffer with pain especially in the foot or heel.   This discomfort can be caused by many different types of ligament inflammations.  However, plantar fasciitis can cause more inconvenience than most. This is due to the fact that the ligament is used every time you take a step, recovery and resting it is extremely difficult.

Understanding Plantar Fasciitis

The Plantar Fascia is the ligament that connects the ball of your foot to your heel and can sometimes be overstretched which leads to severe pain in the heel. However, it does not have to become a chronic condition and can be treated with a series of simple exercises.

The Risk is Greater for Those With Flat Feet

Those people with flat feet, have rolling in on the feet or high arches are at a greater risk of developing plantar fasciitis. All of these factors contribute to a weakening of the foot and therefore strengthening of the foot is essential.

Factors that will put strain on the plantar fascia are standing for long periods of time and being overweight with bad posture and or incorrect shoes. Over time these factors could lead to plantar fasciitis

Simple Exercises For Plantar Fasciitis:

  • Sitting on the floor with your legs straight out in front of you, loop a towel or belt around the ball of your foot and pull back slowly until you feel a good pull in your calf muscle. Hold for 30 seconds and repeat 3 times. Repeat with the other leg.
  • Stand facing a wall at about arm’s length and lunge forward with one leg while keeping the other behind you with the heel flat on the floor. You should feel the stretch in the calf muscle. Hold for 30 seconds and then switch to the other leg. Repeat the sequence a few times a day.
  • To stretch the plantar fascia, use a wall or stair to press the bottom your toes against so that they extend upward, while the ball of your foot remains touching the floor. Hold for 45-60 seconds on each foot and repeat twice. Sports doctors recommend this be done twice a day.
  • Massaging the plantar fascia by rolling your foot slowly back and forth over a rolling pin or drink can for a few minutes each day can also help to relieve plantar fasciitis.

Avoid any exercises that require a repetitive motion and force with a hard surface on the foot, such as running or jogging.
