If you suffer from foot pain, you know how it feels like to experience pain with each step you take. By the time most people reach 20 years of age, 80% of them have a significant degree of bio-mechanical dysfunction in their feet.
Over time, these dysfunctions can result in excessive wear and tear on the joints, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves of the feet and cause many common foot conditions such as bunions, heel spurs and plantar fasciitis – to name a few.
Dr Johnson successfully treats foot pain:
- Inflammation and pain are first treated. This is accomplished by using a very powerful laser over the inflamed regions which typically results in quick results.
- Ultrasound guided hyaluronic acid or natural anti-inflammatory, as well as, integrative medicine tissues are typically used to promote the healing process.
- The patent’s feet are scanned by computerized foot analysis equipment which scans the feet and identifies abnormalities within the structure of the feet. Data from the foot scans are sent to the most advanced manufacturer in the country to produce specific customized orthotics which support and allow for proper biomechanical movement needed for walking.
- The cause of most common foot pain are biomechanical in nature. Mobilization and manipulation of the joints of the feet are made to free up adhesions and scar tissue thus allowing the joints to move freely and correctly.
