Are Your Feet Causing Your Back Pain?

Happy feet are more important to your overall health and comfort than you probably realize. They are the foundation that your body counts on to remain erect and in alignment. At Signature Health & Wellness Center in Fairfield, NJ, and Belleville, NJ, a chiropractor on our team provides chiropractic care to help with back pain and posture.
Foot Issues
Several different structural issues with your feet can have a profound effect on the rest of your body. One of the primary beliefs in chiropractic care is that it works with the wellness of your entire body in mind. The body is interconnected and when one part suffers it can affect many other things. If you have problems with your feet, it can cause problems in the legs and the back. This throws everything off from the ankle to the knee, right up to the lower back.
Any pain that you may be feeling in your feet such as plantar fasciitis or bunions can cause you to favor other parts of your body over the feet. This shifts your posture and when your posture is off, it might cause stress and strain to the back. Wearing the correct footwear can be a big help.
Chiropractic Care
Correcting the postural issues may help to lessen the pain in the lower back. A chiropractic adjustment may help get alignment back and help remove pressure from the nerves and surrounding soft tissues. For a back that has been stiff and sore, therapeutic massage can help relieve the stress and pain that your back may be feeling. Therapeutic exercises can help to strengthen and maintain the alignment and postural corrections in your back.
