We, as Footcare Specialists, treat all foot conditions medically, surgically, and orthopedically.

     In addition, by treating faulty structural alignments of the foot, we often provide relief of pain in the ankles, knees, and back.  The foot is a flexible foundation for the entire body.  If one foot, or both feet, vary in position from the normal, a malposition causing joint and muscle pain is created in the structure above.

     Some of these malpositions are congenital and some are acquired.  The human body is designed so that joints work evenly and in a straight line.  Muscles are to work in a straight line. When there is a deviation below, the joints and muscles do not work efficiently. Muscles become painful and inflamed (myositis), joints show uneven wear and become inflamed with cartilage destruction and bony proliferation (arthritis).

     Realignment of the structures of the foot, insofar as possible, quite often realign structures above, giving pain relief. This is done with orthotics or shoes.
