What’s Wrong with Your Back Could be all in Your Feet

EAST GREENWICH, R.I., Dec. 11, 2016 -- Individuals who suffer from foot, ankle, or even back pain are oftentimes unaware that customized orthotics can greatly reduce their discomfort. Chiropractors, unlike most podiatrists, are trained to perform spinal adjustments and to restore the whole body’s balance, alleviating stress placed on the foot. Dr. Mark Breiding can provide custom orthotics to patients, which are specially tailored to their needs. The Foot Levers brand, known for their supporting clinical research, craftsmanship, and performance are available from him at Breiding Chiropractic Clinic.

Plantar fasciitis is a condition that can cause significant pain not only in the feet but in the back as well. Plantar fascia is the name for the connective tissue that runs from the heel to the ball of the foot. This tissue can become inflamed and result in the start of plantar fasciitis. Pain is typically present with the first few steps in the morning and patients gain new tears daily. Non-surgical treatments for plantar fasciitis include cushioned insoles, manual stretches or use of stretching aids, night splints, steroid injections and custom orthotics.

Orthotics for plantar fasciitis can be individually created to restore the health of your spine, reduce foot pain and help patients walk with ease. Mark Breiding, DC is an orthotic specialist who uses a special digital scanner to diagnose a foot problem, and, if needed, design a patient’s individualized orthotic. The digital scanner from Foot Levelers used by Dr. Breiding, is able to identify where the patient’s stance puts pressure on their feet showing where a pelvic and spinal imbalance may exist.  This accurately predicts the corrections necessary to rebalance the spine. Unlike a podiatrist, Mark Breiding, DC, chiropractor in Rhode Island, takes the bigger picture into consideration when designing an orthotic. His objective is not only to reduce discomfort in the feet but also create an improved biomechanical outcome for the spinal column and attached structures. His orthotics are of the highest quality and are affordable when compared to those ordered from a podiatrist.

“Orthotics designed by a chiropractor take into account both the needs of the feet and spine,” said Dr. Mark Breiding. “I educate my patients on how the body is interconnected and how one small painless change, such as custom orthotics, can significantly reduce discomfort and improve the structural integrity of the body. Visit us to see how our digital scanner is used to create orthotics to treat your painful plantar fasciitis.”
