Which is it Vancouver: Trick or Treat? Whichever you chose, don’t forget about your feet! They get you around your neighbourhood and to all your life’s activity. Why not do all that pain free? This month’s feature topics on Hip Pain and Osteoarthritis might help. And guess what? Your feet have everything to do with these two conditions and treating them is also somewhat related as you’ll see in these links.
Dr. Michael Horowitz here: your friendly neighborhood chiropractor in Vancouver and owner of Vancouver Orthotic Clinics. Our offices across the Greater Vancouver Area treat a variety of conditions such as Flat Feet, Foot Pain, Bunions, Plantar Fasciitis Heel Pain and Back Pain.
Pain free enjoyment of activity in October from tricks to treats
While we’re out Trick or Treating with loved ones or aiming to get our 10,000 steps a day, you may notice, or remember, that your Hip Pain and Osteoarthritis of your weight bearing joints may come from your feet. After all, it’s an issue of biomechanics and foot alignment. Consider the ground reaction forces through your feet, into your ankles, your knees, your hips, you back and spinal joints.
With misalignment of the feet and poor shock-absorption from the ground up; over months, years or decades we stand the chance of developing “wear and tear” or osteoarthritis of these weight bearing joints. Sure, previous injuries and genetics play a role; but wouldn’t it be better to fire proof our bodies instead of fighting the fires of joint pain, stiffness and breakdown; before these symptoms take place? Sometimes damage cannot be undone. That’s why we like to promote early intervention and prevention strategies in health care.
Osteoarthritis based on observations with our patients, is joint breakdown from repetitive strain and inefficiency of weight distribution through movement. This is why the most common affected areas are the foot, ankles, knees, hips and back. These conditions can be painful and debilitating and slow you down. Check these posts for more details.
At Vancouver Orthotic Clinics we believe that good posture starts from the Ground Up! For better Balance, Alignment and Shock-Absorption consider having your Feet Examined at one of our clinics. All patients will receive a sit-down consultation, postural, foot and spine exam. Ultimately this leads us to a Diagnosis and Treatment plan. We use the newest 3D Foot and Gait Scan Technology and can recommend a variety of treatment options including Custom Orthotic Inserts to fit into your favourite shoes.
