"Can Camarata Chiropractic Help My Foot and Ankle Pain?"

Published March 26th, 2025 by Dr. Sam Camarata

Foot and ankle pain can be debilitating, affecting everything from your ability to exercise to simply walking comfortably throughout the day. Whether you're a runner, athlete, or someone who’s just tired of chronic foot pain, the good news is this: chiropractic care can be an effective and natural approach to managing and even eliminating many common foot and ankle conditions.

Common Conditions We Help at Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness

Our team regularly helps patients dealing with a wide variety of foot and ankle complaints, including:

  • Plantar Fasciitis

  • Achilles tendinitis & pain

  • Heel spur pain

  • Flat feet and overpronation

  • Ankle sprains

  • Chronic post-surgical pain

  • Arthritis-related foot pain

  • Morton’s neuroma pain

  • Tarsal tunnel syndrome pain

  • Old sports injuries and repetitive strain

Understanding the Foot and Ankle

The foot and ankle are made up of 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These structures are designed to work in perfect harmony to support the weight of your body, absorb shock, and allow movement in multiple directions.

When alignment or function is off in any part of this system—whether due to an injury, overuse, poor footwear, or imbalances higher up in the body—it can cause pain, inflammation, and compensation patterns that worsen over time.

The Role of Biomechanics, Alignment, and Posture

Many foot and ankle issues are not isolated to just the feet. Poor posture, spinal misalignments, pelvic tilts, and muscle imbalances can all affect how force travels down the legs and into the feet.

Two common postural patterns we see include:

  • Lower Crossed Syndrome: Tight hip flexors and low back muscles paired with weak abdominals and glutes lead to an anterior pelvic tilt and altered mechanics in the lower extremities.

  • Functional and Structural Short Legs: One leg may appear shorter than the other due to muscular imbalances or true anatomical differences, leading to unequal loading through the hips, knees, and feet.

These imbalances often cause excessive stress on the feet and ankles, leading to chronic pain and injury if not addressed.

Chiropractic Care for Foot and Ankle Pain

At Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness, we don’t just look at your feet—we assess your entire kinetic chain. We often find that correcting spinal, pelvic, knee, and ankle alignment together can provide the best outcomes.

Our chiropractic approach includes:

  • Spinal Adjustments: To optimize nerve flow and restore posture and biomechanics.

  • Pelvic and Hip Adjustments: To balance leg length and correct gait patterns.

  • Lower Extremity Adjustments: Including knees, ankles, and feet to improve joint mobility, reduce inflammation, and restore normal function.

  • Custom Stretching and Strengthening Protocols: Designed for your specific needs to improve balance, mobility, and strength.

SoftWave Therapy for Foot and Ankle Relief

We also offer SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy, a powerful, non-invasive treatment that accelerates healing at the cellular level. SoftWave uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves that stimulate stem cells, increase circulation, and reduce inflammation.

SoftWave Therapy has shown great success in treating conditions like:

  • Plantar Fasciitis

  • Achilles tendinitis, pain and accelerated post-surgical recovery

  • Chronic foot and ankle sprains

  • Scar tissue from old injuries

  • Post-surgical pain syndromes

  • Osteoarthritis of the ankle and foot

Our patients, especially runners, athletes, fitness enthusiasts, those who enjoy walking and hiking and traveling and those with physically demanding jobs, have seen accelerated results combining SoftWave Therapy with chiropractic care.
