At some point, all of us experience back pain. A sore back can be annoying and even prevent us from performing the activities that we love. You may feel like you have tried everything to cure your back pain – massage, acupuncture, heating pads, pain relief medication. However, you need to treat the source of the problem to alleviate your back pain long-term.

Often, a sore back is due from adaptions in the feet. A trained chiropractor can identify and make adjustments to help you live pain free.

Pronated Foot

A pronated (flatter) foot can often lead to back pain. This is because the leg bones rotate inward, which causes the ilium of the pelvis to rotate forward. The side of your back with the more severe pronation becomes more in extension than the side that is less pronated.

Under Pronated Foot

Similarly, to pronated feet, under pronated (high arches) feet can also lead to back pain. Your leg and thigh rotate outwards causing extension of your side, therefore back pain.

If you are suffering from back pain, it is important to speak with a chiropractor that can help alleviate the pain. Walker Road Chiropractic treats patients in Beaverton, Oregon. Contact our chiropractors in Beaverton today.
