The stability and alignment of your feet is very important, just like the alignment of the tires on a car. The average person takes nearly 6,000 steps a day. These steps quickly add up to over 90 million by the age of 50. Due to the sheer number of steps taken year after year, you can now understand why the health of your feet and the integrity of their physical structure are significant.
Misaligned feet are very common, but often ignored. When your feet are correctly aligned, so is the rest of your body. Your body and feet work together to efficiently transfer forces from the body’s movement to the ground below. The “foundation joint” of the body is located between the ankle bone and the heel bone. There is a naturally occurring space in between these bones called the sinus tarsi.
Foot misalignment occurs when the ankle bone loses its normal stability and alignment on the heel bone forcing the sinus tarsi to collapse. Many common foot problems are directly related to excessive ankle bone motion. The treatment starting point has to begin with ankle bone realignment & stabilization. Failure to address the cause of these secondary conditions leads to recurrence. The booklet below will provide you with further information about foot alignment and common treatment options.
