Dr. Shaun Stuto, a chiropractor, founded the Transformation Chiropractic Missoula MT wellness center, a health firm based in Missoula, MT. Dr. Stuto works with the citizens of Missoula county to get to the root cause of any symptoms and help families achieve and maintain lifelong wellness. Symptoms such as neck and back pain could be due to underlying causes elsewhere in the body such as improper posture. But do you know that most of these problems can come from improper foot health?
The foot is a great masterpiece from nature. Aside from enabling you to walk upright, it also supports your weight and plays a role in your balance and posture. The foot has a specialized design, with 26 bones and 33 joints. Though compact is size, it is a very complex system, and aside from bones, they also have a network of tendons, muscles and blood vessels.
The foot is designed to withstand a lot of pressure, especially when walking and running. As we walk, the foot absorbs the shock as it hits the ground. With the network of tendons and muscles, the impact should be negligible. If the foot is dysfunctional, the cushioning properties get weaker and disperse the impact forces to other bones and organs in your body.
The body parts most commonly affected by these unsuppressed shocks are your ankles and your knees. But if left unchecked, the forces are capable of traveling up into your pelvis, spine and even to your neck and head. You might experience back aches, neck pains, and even headaches just from walking or running. The average medical doctor would prescribe pain killers and anti-inflammatory drugs so you could "feel" better. This is like ripping the batteries out of the smoke detector! The house is still on fire. The problem is the feet! The average chiropractor might continue to adjust your spine for "relief." An applied kinesiologist, like Dr. Shaun Stuto will look at the big picture. The founder of Applied Kinesiology, Dr. George Goodheart, said famously "no matter where the problem exists in the body, look first to the feet!"
Back pain due to lumbar strains and sprains, can certainly be caused by foot problems. A foot, as we remember, bears the whole weight of our body. If your feet are dysfunctional, then your body won't have anything to support it. A common problem associated with feet are flat footedness. In this case, your feet distribute weight where they were not designed to. This increases the shock transmitted to your bones, especially the spine. With continual bombardment, your spine would become misaligned or "subluxated" over time. Another cause of back-related pain is the high-arched but rigid foot. With this condition, your feet would not have enough cushioning to absorb shocks. The shocks are sent upwards of your body, affecting your back and even your neck and head. It is quite possible that neurologic problems in your feet could be contributing or causing your headache. Everything in the human body is connected whether you realize it or not.
With this newly acquired knowledge, caring for your feet should be a high priority. Part of that care is visiting your chiropractor and having your feet checked. Problems in the feet are not necessarily painful. Subluxations are much like cavities, by the time they hurt, the damage has already been done.
You should take the proactive action of seeing your chiropractor to ensure undetected and asymptomatic foot subluxations are not present. Transformation Chiropractic from Missoula MT can help you with getting to the root cause of problems like back pain, neck pain, foot problems, and headaches. More importantly, they will help you move beyond your aches and pains into a newer realm of thriving health and wellness. They utilize techniques like Applied Kinesiology and Neuro-Emotional Technique to customize a treatment plan specific to the patient instead of fitting a patient into their treatment plan.
True health and optimal wellness is the goal Transformation Chiropractic Missoula MT has for you. It is up to you to step up, take action and achieve it. They believe that true health is actually a decision and more than a matter of circumstances, luck or "good" genes.
