STEP INTO PAIN RELIEF This Spring!
DISCOVER THE LINK BETWEEN YOUR FOOT AND PAIN IN YOUR HIP, KNEE, AND BACK Are you struggling with knee or back pain that you want to get a handle on before summer? There may be one factor that you’ve overlooked: your feet. We don’t always think about our feet, but they’re crucial in overall movement and comfort. If they aren’t functioning properly, pain can spread up your body and affect your knees, hips, and back. To address the pain for good, you’ll need to track the issue down to its source. That’s where the Ace Physique team comes in. We can help you understand the connection between foot mechanics and joint pain and work with you to find a solution that meets your needs. HOW FOOT MECHANICS AFFECT POSTURE AND PAIN Your feet are the foundation of your body, and when they don’t provide proper support, your joints and muscles can’t work together properly. Misalignment in the feet can cause imbalances that affect your overall posture and shift pressure to the knees, hips, and lower back, leading to pain, stiffness, and a greater risk of injury. Several common foot issues, including flat feet or high arches, can contribute to poor posture. Addressing these problems can improve posture and reduce discomfort throughout the body. Understanding The Role of Weight Distribution Your feet absorb the force of every step you take. If that weight isn’t evenly distributed when you walk or run, certain areas take on too much stress, which can lead to chronic pain and injuries over time. Key factors that affect weight distribution include: Standing Posture • Slouching or shifting weight to one side can cause uneven joint pressure. Improper Walking Patterns • For example, taking short, stiff steps or favoring one foot over the other can lead to discomfort. Foot Structure • Issues like flat feet, increased arches, reduced arches, bunions or hammertoes can force the body to compensate in ways that strain other joints. GAIT ANALYSIS: THE FIRST STEP IN FINDING RELIEF At Ace Physique, our comprehensive approach to pain management starts with in-depth assessments to help us understand the specific reasons for your pain. A gait analysis is often a key factor in helping us solve the puzzle. A gait analysis evaluates your unique walking pattern and identifies movement patterns contributing to pain throughout your body. It helps us pinpoint the underlying causes of discomfort and guides our treatment recommendations. Here’s what we’ll evaluate in a typical gait analysis: • Static Support - Foot structure / Arch support / Visible deformities • Dynamic Support - How weight shifts through each step • Any imbalance or misalignments or improper weight shift patters affecting body Continued on next page.
