There are 26 bones in the foot and each one is capable of causing foot pain. Millions of Americans each year complain of having pain in their feet or ankles. You feet are the foundation of your entire body and have a direct impact all the way through the spine. Stabilizing the your postural foundation will not only help relieve pain and stress in your feet but can also aid in relieving pain felt in the lower back and spine.
Common types of foot pain are:
Heel Pain: If pain is located in your heel, then you may have a condition called plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the band of tissue (fascia) that reaches from the heel to the toes and supports the muscles and arch of the foot. Proper orthotics can help to alleviate and possibly eliminate this pain.
Ball of Foot Pain: Ill fitting shoes are often the cause of this type of pain. Unusual stress caused by strenuous running or jumping can also result in pain on the ball of the foot.
Arch Pain: Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of this type of pain; it effects the heel, arch or both. It is important to see our medical professionals right away if you are feeling this type of pain for an extended period of time.
Toe Pain: Although not always the case, gout (a form of arthritis) can cause pain in the toes. Avoiding specific types of food as guided by our doctors along with rest and ice can help to alleviate the symptoms of gout.
We welcome new patients to Maplewood Wellness for postural exams to determine their chiropractic needs. If you’ve never had your feet scanned, you probably don’t know what they are supposed to look like. This new technology provides insight into hidden structural imbalances that may not be apparent in standard evaluations.
Once your feet have been scanned, we can discuss options to order your pair of customized orthotics. These orthotics are far superior to anything you would find at a general store and can help to alleviate foot, ankle and back pain effectively.

I am loving Dr. Feiler and his staff (Diamond). From day one they make you feel welcomed. I came in due to having upper back pain from my job but Dr. Feiler explained what my true cause of pain was, treatment plan and changes needed to be made. Almost 2 months later, I’m performing so much better at work and happily go in for my treatments. Highly recommend!!!
