Ankle Pain Treatment Chiropractic - Extreme Foot Pain & Ankle Pain, Cumming Chiropractor, Dr Ekberg

Hello I'm Dr. Sten Ekberg and we just like to talk to one of my patients for a

minute so she can share some of her experiences and maybe help some other

people understand what we do here so this isn't more again do you want to

tell us a little bit about a problem you had and what made you come to see us

well my foot was pronating and it was causing me pain and staining and I could

hardly walk and so I came here because physical therapists told me I should try

seeing a chiropractor and you're pretty involved in sports yes I'm very active

how long did it take before you saw a change and then what's happened since I

saw change probably other than the first two visits it was and now after say six

to eight visits what how much improvement have you seen I'd say about

80% improvement okay very good for people who don't understand this you

said that your foot was pronating and we talked about what in the body manages

pronation and that's a muscle called tibialis posterior and in Morgan she is

super fit she had every muscle in her body working except the tibialis

posterior that was totally shut off on both sides and once we turn that back on

things started working a little better we use a a combination of manual

chiropractic adjustment instrument adjusting and trigger point and reflex

point therapy so by knowing how those muscles work and what they're related

points and connections are we can go in and test them and turn them back on and

make that they're working again Nasus we

started working how are you able to to do your workouts and how has your life

changed since then well before I wasn't really able to do any running or

anything that put any strain on that area and I've been able to go back to

how I was before so I don't have to try to not put any pressure on it anymore

excellent is there anything else that that you want to let people know about

this office that they may not know you can go for things that you don't think

you'd be able to go to for like with my foot I don't think I kind of pressure

would be able to do anything for it no that's better yeah very good

well thanks so much for joining us and sharing that with with some other folks

and hopefully they we can help people understand that that there are all sorts

of things that can be helped so thank you so much
