Your feet carry you through the day, allowing you to walk, run, and stand for hours, which is why it’s important to treat them well. Foot health is key to keeping your body aligned, balanced, and moving comfortably.
Did you know that foot issues often impact areas like your lower back and hips, even though we may not always realise it? That’s why Aspire Chiropractic Hamilton has teamed up with a local podiatry clinic to cover all aspects of foot health so you can find relief from pain and move more freely.
The Connection Between Foot Problems, Back, and Hip Pain
Your feet are the foundation of your body, supporting every step and movement. When issues like flat feet, plantar fasciitis, or misalignment arise, they can create a ripple effect throughout the body.
Poor foot mechanics often lead to compensatory movements, which place stress on the hips and lower back, potentially causing chronic discomfort or pain,

Additionally, when the feet are misaligned, this imbalance affects your posture and travels upward through your spine, impacting overall stance and balance.
How Custom Orthotics and Footwear Play a Role
Podiatrists often recommend custom orthotics, supportive footwear, and therapeutic exercises as effective solutions to foot issues. Custom orthotics help by correcting foot mechanics, alleviating pain, and preventing further complications. Proper footwear offers additional support for alignment while strengthening and flexibility exercises help enhance the function of foot muscles and reduce discomfort.
Chiropractic Care and Podiatry: A Comprehensive Approach
Chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue therapies complement podiatric care by addressing the alignment and soft tissue health of the feet and lower body. In our practice, we improve joint function and support soft tissue recovery through techniques like myofascial release, which relieves tension in the foot muscles. This approach helps correct postural imbalances caused by foot issues, reducing strain on the back and hips.
