The ankle is the most frequently injured joint in the body.  "Pronation," in which the feet flare outward and kneecaps rotate inward, is the most common foot problem.  When weak arches cause the bones of the foot to drop to an unstable position, stress on the foot increases.  Adjusting malfunctioning joints of the feet, combined with custom shoe orthotics, can reduce tenderness, improve gait and stabilize the entire skeletal system.

 

Bone spurs and other arthritic changes to joints in the feet, hands or spine are the body's response to long-standing malfunction.  Restoring proper joint function is thought to slow or stop this degenerative process.
