Foot Pain

We often hear advertisements that foot pain can be cured with custom orthotics (shoe inserts). In fact, some organizations will go as far as to claim large amounts of success "curing" back pain by the same means. All the customer has to do is visit their trained foot specialist and bing-o, bang-o the pain is gone!

While this is partially true, do you know there is research that it can "travel" the other way too! In other words, back and hip problems can lead to foot pain or they can be entirely independent of one another.

The fix: see a professional who is trained to examine all areas and does not have a bias towards one region being the "key" to all our ills. See a physical therapist (PT)! You can visit www.apta.org to find your neighborhood PT or www.naiomt.com to locate a PT who SPECIALIZES in foot, knee, hip, and back pain.
