Why Foot and Ankle Chiropractic Care Matters
Your feet contain 26 bones and over 30 joints. Small misalignments can change how you walk, strain the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon, and affect knee, hip, and spinal mechanics.
Common issues we address: plantar fasciitis, flat feet/overpronation, Achilles pain, ankle sprains, bunions and hallux limitus, midfoot stiffness, shin splints.
Left unaddressed, poor alignment can contribute to knee, hip, and low-back stress. Correcting the foundation helps the entire kinetic chain.

Our Treatment Solutions
Targeted Adjustments
Gentle, precise adjustments to the foot, ankle, and related spinal segments restore normal joint motion and support balanced movement patterns.
- Low-amplitude, high-velocity when indicated
- Mobilization and instrument-assisted options
- Integration with corrective exercise
Custom Foot Orthotics
Personalized support to stabilize the arch, reduce strain, and improve posture. Ideal for flat feet, plantar fasciitis, and overuse injuries.
Orthotics are discounted within plans but cannot be free; our practice minimum cost applies.

Strength and motor control retraining enhance the effects of care.
- Short-foot drills and arch doming
- Calf and soleus eccentrics
- Single-leg balance and proprioception
- Dorsiflexion mobility and hip linkage
Chiropractic Foot and Ankle Adjustments
Precise chiropractic adjustments restore motion to the small joints of the foot and ankle to improve gait mechanics, relieve pain, and support the entire kinetic chain.
What We Adjust
- Forefoot: 1st MTP, cuneiforms, metatarsals
- Midfoot: Navicular, cuboid, cuneiform complex
- Rearfoot/Ankle: Talocrural and subtalar joints
How We Adjust
- Low-amplitude, high-velocity thrusts when indicated
- Mobilization and instrument-assisted techniques
- Post-adjustment activation and balance drills
Helps With
- Plantar fasciitis and arch pain
- Chronic or recurrent ankle sprains
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Restricted dorsiflexion and midfoot stiffness
When We Don’t Adjust
We screen for red flags and choose the safest approach. In cases of suspected fracture, high-grade sprain with instability, infection, or acute inflammatory flare, we modify care and refer as needed.
If restriction is primarily soft-tissue or footwear-driven, we prioritize soft-tissue care, progressive loading, and footwear or orthotic changes.

Foot & Ankle Chiropractic Care FAQs
Do orthotics really help plantar fasciitis?
Yes. When matched to your foot type and paired with load management and mobility work, orthotics reduce strain on the plantar fascia and can accelerate healing.
How long until I feel relief?
Many patients notice mobility improvements immediately. Meaningful pain reduction typically builds over 2–6 weeks depending on severity and adherence to your plan.
Will you adjust my ankle after a sprain?
We first assess stability and screen for fracture. When safe and indicated, gentle chiropractic foot and ankle adjustments with progressive loading can restore motion and confidence.
Can I keep running or working out?
Often yes, with modifications. We’ll adjust training volume, terrain, and footwear while we restore mobility and strength.
Are orthotics included in care?
Orthotics may be discounted within care plans but cannot be free. Our practice minimum cost applies; we’ll review pricing before ordering.
Do you take insurance?
Insurance coverage varies by plan and service. We’ll help you understand your benefits and provide a transparent estimate before care.
