Help Stop Summer Sports From Leading to Patient Pain

Help Stop Summer Sports From Leading to Patient Pain

1:39 pm / Dr. Kevin Wong

Reducing the stress and strain through chiropractic care

In warmer weather, many patients use the longer, sunnier days to spend more time outdoors playing sports and being more active. This can add up to increased strain on their bodies. As chiropractors, we can partner with our patients to help take the stress out of the summer activities they love. This supports adjustments that hold better and enhances the success of ongoing chiropractic care while helping boost athletic performance and lowering injury risk. read more

How Do I Know if I Need Arch Support?

1:41 pm / Foot Levelers

Have you ever experienced pain in your feet, back, or knees? This could be a sign that you may need custom arch supports.

Your feet are your foundation, bearing the weight of your entire body day in and day out. When your arches are unsupported, foot problems, such as plantar fasciitis, bunions, and pain, can arise. This is where arch supports come into play.

Custom-made support insoles provide additional support and cushioning to your arches to help alleviate foot pain, correct gait misalignment, and prevent conditions from worsening. read more

The Kinetic Chain and the Foot-Spine Connection

4:29 pm / Dr. Kevin Wong / 0 Comments

Help your patients understand body connectivity for better health

In my daily practice, I am astonished to observe how little knowledge patients have of their own bodies. They don’t realize how the function of individual parts such as the feet affect their bodies as a whole. Most patients grow up receiving treatment in a traditional medical care model so this is not familiar to them.

As chiropractors who treat the extremities, we can help our patients understand that the body parts are all connected, with the feet as their foundation. When the three arches of the plantar vault are not properly aligned, they can destabilize other parts of the body like the spine, leading to pain and decreased mobility. By identifying and treating the true cause of the pain rather than chasing pain symptoms, we can provide more effective care with greater patient satisfaction. This begins by educating our patients about the kinetic chain and the foot-spine connection and stabilizing all three arches of their feet with custom flexible orthotics for optimal kinetic chain function and better overall health. read more
