Ankle/Foot Pain Treatment in Thunder Bay
Solutions When You Need Them
Ankle and foot pain can make even the simplest tasks challenging. Whether due to an injury, overuse, or biomechanical imbalances, persistent discomfort can limit mobility and affect daily activities. Chiropractic care offers effective, drug-free solutions to restore function and relieve pain.
Common Causes and Care for Best Results
Often resulting from sprains, plantar fasciitis, or biomechanical dysfunction, a simple ankle sprain may destabilize the joint. Another painful condition, plantar fasciitis—caused by inflammation of the tissue along the bottom of the foot—makes walking painful. Poor foot mechanics, such as fallen arches, can also lead to misalignment and strain throughout the kinetic chain, affecting the knees, hips, and lower back.
At Santin Chiropractic, we use a range of chiropractic techniques to address the root cause of the pain, including:
- Extremity Adjustments – Gentle realignments to restore proper joint motion
- Soft Tissue Therapy – Targeted techniques to reduce tension and improve flexibility
- Custom Orthotics – Supportive inserts designed to correct improper mechanics and enhance stability
How Long Does It Take to See Improvement?
Many patients begin to feel relief within the first few sessions. However, since this specific area bears the body’s weight with every step, complete healing may take a few weeks to months, depending on the severity of the condition. A structured plan involving chiropractic care, rehabilitative exercises, and footwear modifications helps promote long-term recovery.
Preventing Future Issues and Discomfort
To maintain proper joint health, our team suggests patients follow these recommendations—wear supportive footwear that provides proper arch support, strengthen the lower leg and foot muscles to improve stability, and avoid repetitive stress by alternating activities and stretching regularly.
