Foot & Ankle Treatment – Portland, West Seattle, Green Lake, & Seattle Fremont Chiropractors

Get Rid of Foot & Ankle Pain and stop it from coming back.

For most of us, our feet and ankles bear the significant burden of supporting us daily, which may be why they’re two of the most common injuries we treat at Tangelo. With 25% of the bones in our body residing in our feet, the foot and ankle must have the right balance of stability and mobility to function well.

Many of our routine movements are dependent upon the health and strength of our feet and ankles. Luckily, in many cases, your foot or ankle injury can be remedied through safe, effective chiropractic and rehabilitation solutions. Chiropractic care will not only contribute to pain management, but it helps restore the soft tissues in and around the foot, rebuild muscles, and contributes to overall body balance.

We know you want to get back to living your life to the fullest, free from discomfort. If your foot or ankle injury is causing you to miss out on your daily activities, it’s time to call the best chiropractors in Seattle and Portland. Our Tangelo clinics and specialists are waiting to get you up and running.

Typical Foot and Ankle Pain Symptoms

When the body is in pain, it’s telling us it’s in a state of distress. Often, pain starts mildly but steadily works its way up in severity. It’s always best to treat your discomfort before it has the opportunity to worsen and spread. So, even if your foot or ankle symptoms appear minor, seeking medical attention is a wise decision that can stave off further problems.

We’ve been happy to provide care to many patients experiencing various kinds of symptoms, including:

Throbbing, dull, or aching pain in the heel or arch of the foot
Pain in or around the ankle
Tightening of the calves, hamstrings, and shins
Radiating pain from the foot or ankle leading up the leg or into the toes
Swelling of the ankle, foot, or toes
Discomfort or inability to curl toes or rotate the ankle
Sharp, sudden pain in the foot or ankle
Numbness or tingling in the foot or ankle

And more

It’s important that our various muscles, ligaments, joints, and tendons work as they were designed to. In doing so, our bodies can successfully support us and keep pain at bay, allowing us to move as intended, without discomforts. Finding what’s causing your pain and nurturing it at its core is key to a safe, reliable healing process.

Your body deserves a responsible, non-invasive, natural healing solution. This will keep your downtime low (or non-existent), keep you away from medications that mask pain but don’t end it, and allow you an authentic, empowered recovery.

When any part of the body is in discomfort, many areas of life can pay the price:

Missing work or inability to perform work-related tasks
Missing social engagements
Missing physical activity, exercise, sporting events
Missing time with family and friends

Our Tangelo teams want your body to fully support you and contribute to your happy, healthy life. Your wellness is vital, and our chiropractic services are here to aid in your journey however we can.

Common Causes of Foot and Ankle Pain

Foot and ankle pain can be caused by many factors, including:

Trauma
Landing improperly
Habitual faulty movement patterns
Previous injury or accident
Auto, workplace, or athletic injury
And more

While the severity can range from slight to debilitating, the outcome of these common causes of foot and ankle pain can lead to:

Plantar fasciitis

A condition due to the inflammation of the plantar fascia, which connects the heel bone to the toes. It often causes pain in the heel or arch of the foot that can increase when not remedied. Our Tangelo clinics see many athletic patients who suffer from plantar fasciitis. We are experienced and knowledgeable on how to best approach this injury so you can get back to the activities you love.

Ankle sprains

When the ankle rolls or twists in an unnatural way, the ligaments that keep your ankle bones together can stretch, leading to a sprained ankle. Tenderness, weakness, swelling, pain, loss of range of motion, and more may be the end result. All of these will diminish activity levels and may even require the aid of crutches or a brace. Our rehab specialists are determined to get your ankle healed quickly, the right way.

Other common reasons for foot and ankle pain include:

Achilles tendonitis
Shin splints
Bunions
Tendonitis
Hammertoe
Bursitis
Flat Feet

Whether your pain stems from the constant misuse of the joints, a serious accident, or muscle fatigue, chiropractic treatment is your next move. We’re ready to give you our undivided attention, define a wellness plan specific to your needs, and provide the organic services your body recognizes and reacts to.

“My story starts 4 years ago when I had posterior tibial tendonitis that plagued me for 3 years. I had 3 cortisone shots in my ankle, multiple rounds of PT and in/out of a boot for months. Not to fault the 3 different doctors I saw, but they were all treating the symptoms of the ankle. It wasn’t until I visited Tangelo [that I found out what] actually was causing the tendinitis through a whole-body analysis. I’ve not only been able to get back into running, but I’m just a few weeks away from my first ever marathon. Tangelo is my “Miracle Worker” and I’m forever grateful.” – Angie U. // West Seattle, WA

“I injured my foot a year ago running on a trail and had to stop running. Eventually, my ankle got so bad that I couldn’t even walk to the bus in the morning to go to work. This is when I decided to go into Tangelo. I’m actually really glad that I got injured because not only did they help me with my injury, but basic balance and strength training as a whole. After a few weeks, I was even able to run again! I haven’t felt this good in years and I highly recommend anyone with an injury check it out, they’ll blow you away.” -Will B. // Fremont Seattle, WA
