Why (and how) we treat you from head to toe.

You have come to see us for a problematic bunion. Imagine your surprise when I tell you I want to know more about your previous shoulder dislocation! I care about that injury — because it can be related to your foot issue. 

If your shoulder is loose from a partial or complete dislocation, your chest (pec) muscles will get tight trying to keep the ball stable in the socket. A consequence of this condition is poor rib movement. Your ribs need to rotate when you are walking or running. If your ribs are incapable of that movement, a compensation pattern develops, and something else (somewhere else) offsets the torque.  

Your big toe is a crucial shifting mechanism as your weight is transferred from side to side. Your big toe can become the victim of a lack of three-dimensional movement up the chain. A lot of people never think to associate the problematic bunion with your old shoulder dislocation! We reverse-engineer your symptoms to locate the root cause of your pain, discomfort, or injury and treat the cause. 

Our head-to-toe assessment allows us to observe how all the systems of your body are interacting. Our goal is to make you pain-free and powerful again! Call us to learn more or schedule an appointment!
