Your back and feet depend on one another for support. When one fails to function properly, the result might be pain in both parts of the body. We can help treat foot pain and back pain issues at Advantage Spine and Disc in Boise, ID. Working with a chiropractor on our chiropractic team might be a good way to identify and treat the cause of your back pain, but understanding how pain in the back is often caused by the feet may be important as well.

How Can Your Feet Cause Back Pain?

Logic tells us that issues with the feet lead to foot pain, but there’s more to the story. Many issues that stress the feet and ankles can also contribute to or directly cause back pain. Here are some ways that your feet can cause pain in the lower back:

• You have flat feet impact the way you walk and your posture, leading to lower back pain.
• Wearing unsupportive footwear can lead to back and foot pain.
• You have a medical condition that changes your gait and places unnecessary stress on your lower back.

All parts of your body are connected. When one part is stressed or unable to function properly, other parts might try to compensate.

How a Chiropractor Can Help

Chiropractic care might be the appropriate response to your type of back pain. A chiropractor on our chiropractic team will examine your body to help determine the cause of the pain. He or she will then create an individualized treatment plan that may include one or more of the following:

• Stretches
• Exercises
• Spinal adjustments
• Massage therapy

In addition to in-office procedures, a chiropractor on our chiropractic team may ask you to complete exercises or stretches at home.
