Plantar Fasciitis Part III
Every time your foot hits the ground, the plantar fasciitis is stretched. You can decrease this pressure by losing body weight, wearing shoes and slippers that support your arch. Some physicians recommend medicine, taping of the foot, and orthotics. Orthotics are prescription inserts that fit into your shoe. Orthotics tend to support and help control the foot and ankle region. If you have any questions please contact me.

Plantar Fasciitis Part II
As earlier discussed, improper foot movement can cause plantar fasciitis. If the foot flattens too much at the arch, the tissue may overstretch. In return, if the foot flattens too little, the fascia is too tight and causes pain.
A heel spur can also cause plantar fasciitis. This bone growth can be caused by a pull on the heel bone over time.
Symptoms of plantar fasciitis occur on the bottom of the foot, usually in the morning. Pain may decrease after walking briefly, but comes back with rest or over activity.Sunday, March 14, 2010

Dr. Bob's Chiropractic 101
To understand chiropractic, one must have a basic understanding about how the body functions. From the time you were born, your Inner Wisdom has known exactly how to keep you healthy and alive. It knows how fast your heart should beat, how often your lungs need to breathe, how to digest food and how to eliminate waste. There are millions of details controlled by your Inner Wisdom to keep this marvelous machine in prime functioning condition.
“… a kind of super intelligence exists in each of us, infinitely smarter and possessed of technical know-how far beyond our present understanding.” -Lewis Thomas, M.D.
Every living organism in our world possesses what chiropractors call Innate Intelligence. The body machine comes out of the “factory” fully able to function, as long as it has regular fuel and adequate maintenance. Innate Intelligence sends instructions to every organ and cell in your body through the nerve system housed by the vertebrae. However, unless your spinal vertebrae are correctly aligned, those instructions can’t be received and followed properly. The result is “Dis-ease” and dysfunction.

Dr. Bob wants to know... Are You Off Balance?
But My Feet Don’t Hurt
Your feet are the foundation of your entire skeleton. If they’re not supported properly, your body will form weaknesses in its skeletal structure. This results in pain and suffering. It’s like a building that will eventually have cracks in its walls if the foundation is not laid properly.
Most of the time, your feet aren’t the weakest point of your skeleton. They don’t hurt… but they will affect other parts of your body that do.
Excessive Foot Pronation and Flat Feet
When your feet strike hard surfaces, like the pavement or floor, they begin to flatten. This action causes the bones in your feet to become misaligned and leads to excessive foot pronation or flat feet. You’ll notice movement of your ankle and the flattening of your arch.
These conditions cause stress on your entire body, starting with your foot and moving up to your ankle, knee, hip joint, pelvis, spine and head. It can also result in a variety of health problems.
Orthotics help correct these problems.
Foot orthotics give you proper support and help restore the natural balance and alignment of your body.
Foot orthotics also help make your spinal adjustments more effective and longer-lasting.
