Bunions : Another result of pelvic dysfunction

Bunions are a bone growth deformity of the big toe. These can become painful and cause the foot to deform. Traditionally it was thought that improper shoes cause bunions, or that certain foot structures are more apt to cause bunions, but one again it comes down to the pelvis. As I discussed in my post about uneven shoe wear and pelvic rotation, the feet are at the mercy of the pelvis and head. Any rotation of the hips will translate down the leg into the feet and end at the toes. Excessive rubbing against the shoe will cause a callus to form on the inside of the big toe, but the improper weight distribution is what will cause the change in the bone at the joints. Some things to look for if you suspect a bunion is forming:

A thickening of the skin at the base of the big toe
Pain at the base of the big toe
Your big toe is leaning or pointing towards the next toe instead of straight forward

If you noticed any of the above, you may also have:

Opposite side inside knee pain, same side ankle pain or frequent strain/sprains, same side groin tenderness, mid or low back pain.

Shaving off the callus or even having the toe surgically corrected will ease the pain but not fix the problem. The cause must be identified and eliminated.

Biomechanical Dysfunction is the cause of most muscular and skeletal problems

Low back pain with : hip, groin, knee, buttocks and or sacral pain?

I am actively seeking people who present with the following conditions:

Low back pain and or glute pain in combination with groin, knee, ankle or hip pain. These conditions tend to present together because they are the result of dysfunction in the pelvis. When the pelvis is uneven, the body must compensate in order to get the skull and brain balanced and centered. The "long leg" will often rotate out to make that leg shorter in an attempt to balance the pelvis. This is why people often notice that the foot on the side of discomfort turns out. Inside knee pain, sharp pain or soreness may be felt in the middle of the buttocks on that side, and low back pain on the opposite side. Inspection of often worn shoes may show more wear on the outside of the side with the pain.

If you have experienced symptoms listed above but have dismissed them as arthritis, muscle spasms or sleeping wrong please email me. Restoring the balance of the joints along the spine is a task that you will want to undertake now and not later on down the road. Pain killers, muscle relaxers, hip replacements, knee replacements, and expensive orthotics are not where you will want to spend your time and money.

If you are experiencing neck, midback, shoulder or hand pain not related to an injury please contact me also.

My goal is to attract quality patients who want to feel, look and live better. Feel free to email me and we can determine if your condition can be helped by my approach. If I can not help you I will tell you. I understand that Craigslist may be an unconventional way to find a doctor, but I am an unconventional doctor.

My office hours are by appointment and I am available 7 days a week right now while I build this practice.
I do offer cash discounts if the visit is paid for on the date of service.
