Foot pain is one of the most common conditions in people who stand for work or are recreational runners. Many people are not aware Chiropractic care is often a very effective treatment for foot pain and problems.
One of the most common conditions seen in runners is plantar fasciitis. It is estimated that 10% of runners are prone to plantar fasciitis. Often a heel spur is seen with the condition. The heel spur is a bony projection from the heel bone or calcaneus. Heel spurs are seen in about half of persons with plantar fasciitis and in about 10-27% of the general population.

The condition known as sciatica refers to enduring pain in the sciatic nerve — a nerve that goes from the lower back, down to the buttocks, and into the lower legs. It’s the longest nerve in the whole body, traversing a wide distance from the lower back to the lower legs. This important nerve causes us to have feeling in our legs and feet by adjusting the muscles in the lower legs. Sciatica, a form of lower-back and leg pain, affects many people, though they often don't understand it. Instead of grouping all nerve pain into a general diagnosis of sciatica, in actuality it refers to a set of particular symptoms. |

There are four synovial folds found in the knee, but only one seems to cause problems. This structure is called the medial plica. |
