Do you suffer from Low Back Pain? Hip Pain? Knee Pain or Foot Pain?

Have you considered that the pain you are experiencing in your feet, ankles, knees, hips or lower back might be caused or aggravated by the way you walk?

Abnormal stresses and structural problems in your feet can cause pain throughout the entire body. For many people pain may start from the ground up. Even a small abnormality in foot function can have a major impact on joints higher up in the body causing pain and can even lead to arthritis.

Did you know:

1. The average person takes 8000 - 15000 steps per day
2. The average 73kg person will put over 500,000kg of pressure through their feet per day
3. The average person will walk over 4 miles per day and will walk over 4 times around the earth's circumference in their lifetime
4. There are 52 bones in the foot or 1/3 of all the bones in the body are found in the feet
5. 83% of the population will suffer from an acute episode of Foot or Foot related pain in their lifetime

Many foot problems can be resolved with the use of custom orthotics, It is important that the orthotics you wear are suitable for your feet because your feet are as individual as you are!



Careful examination of your foot alignment and shape can reveal faulty foot mechanics. In our clinic we use the latest precision digital foot scanning equipment to properly assess foot function. Where needed we can prescribe the most advanced orthotic for correction of foot problems while also taking into account the problems further up the skeleton which are caused by or aggravated by certain foot types.

We are experienced in treating the following foot problems:

Achilles Tendonitis, Calluses, Bunions, Shin Splints, Hammer Toe, Flat Feet, Atheltic injury, Hip Pain, Fallen Arches, Heel Spur, Metatarsal Pain and Foot Arthritis as well as Low Back Pain attributed to Foot Problems.

  1. Living in pain is no way to live your life. Back pain, neck pain, and joint pain are all problems that can be managed. Chiropractors train to balance their patients' lives through corrective care. There are a number of different chiropractor care services available that help relieve pain and stress.
