TREATMENT OPTIONS TO IMPROVE FOOT AND JOINT HEALTH We are a multidisciplinary clinic that offers several therapies to help address foot issues, and we always tailor treatment programs to meet the needs of the patient. Here are some of the techniques we might incorporate: • Hands-on manual and massage therapy techniques help relieve muscle tightness that affects movement.
• Acupuncture to help reduce pain and inflammation in affected joints. • Chiropractic adjustments improve joint alignment from the feet up. • Strengthening exercises improve foot stability and posture. • Personalized gait corrections help improve your walking patterns. Choosing the Right Footwear and Orthotics
Education also plays a key role in our treatment programs. If your feet are the source of your discomfort, it’s important to look at your footwear, too. Wearing the wrong shoes can increase strain on your feet and joints, so it’s essential to choose supportive footwear that helps you maintain proper alignment. Tips for Choosing the Right Footwear Look for: • A firm heel counter for stability • Adequate arch support to prevent overpronation • A cushioned sole to absorb shock What About Orthotics? Custom orthotics may also help provide additional relief. These inserts are shaped to support the foot and reduce stress on the knees, hips, and back. Our team can help you select the right ones for your needs, especially before you start getting active this summer.

Service Spotlight SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
A Groundbreaking Solution for Foot-Related Hip, Knee & Back Pain Foot pain can trigger a chain reaction throughout the body. When walking becomes painful, movement patterns change, leading to strain in the hips, knees, and lower back. Fortunately, shockwave therapy at Ace Physique offers a non-invasive solution that helps treat stubborn foot conditions so you can find lasting relief. WHAT IS SHOCKWAVE THERAPY? Shockwave therapy is a cutting-edge treatment technique that uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in damaged soft tissue. These waves help promote blood flow, break down scar tissue, and encourage the body’s natural repair process. What Conditions Benefit from Shockwave Therapy? • Plantar fasciitis • Achilles tendonitis • Heel spurs • Shin splints • Runner’s knee • Hip bursitis How Shockwave Therapy Helps Relieve Pain and Restore Function When foot mechanics are off, it affects the way weight is distributed. Over time, this places stress on joints higher up the body. Shockwave therapy addresses the root cause of this discomfort by: Reducing Inflammation • Targets deep tissue irritation, easing stiffness and discomfort Breaking Down Calcifications
• Helps dissolve hardened tissue deposits that contribute to pain Improving Circulation • Increases oxygen and nutrient delivery to damaged areas for faster healing Stimulating Collagen Production • Strengthens tendons and ligaments, improving support and mobility By restoring healthy function in the feet, shockwave therapy can help correct movement patterns, easing strain on the knees, hips, and back.
