When an individual suffers from foot problems, every step along the way can be painful. Chiropractors work to locate the pain source and then use natural therapy, without drugs to reduce the pain. Patients often find the approach used at a Portland chiropractic clinic to be helpful.

The chiropractor pinpoints the source of the pain before providing therapy. While the source is not necessarily located at the point of pain, the location provides the doctor with clues as to where the there is a problem in the foot. The chiropractor then provides therapy designed to bring correction.

Many times the trouble is biomechanical. The patient's complaints stem from wearing inappropriate or non-supportive shoes. The doctor recommends a change in footwear or adds support devices and the injuries are able to heal.

Over pronation is the cause of the foot pain suffered by many. The condition twists one's foot and stretches a bundle of fibrous connective tissues, called the fascia. With continual overstretching, the fibers begin to tear where they attach to one's heel. The body responds by forming bone spurs to support the fascia.

Patients appreciate the fact that chiropractors have time to listen to their problems and see them as individuals. The chiropractor knows the medical history includes clues to the source of pain. Chiropractors often ask about the beginning of the pain and actions to increase or decrease pain. They then provide the needed therapy to encourage natural healing to reduce the individual's pain without the use of invasive measures.

Problems with the foot can be very painful. Pain killing medication often can allow the sufferer to increase the damage already done to the foot. However, a Portland chiropractic doctor provides noninvasive therapy to help encourage the body's natural healing ability. Many patients have found the care received greatly reduces or even eliminates the pain they experience.
