Great question! Ankle adjustments can sometimes help improve mobility and alignment, which might reduce strain contributing to heel pain. However, heel pain often has multiple causes (like plantar fasciitis or Achilles issues), so it’s best to get an assessment to see if an ankle adjustment would specifically benefit you.
Can you get ankle adjustments 5 months after a cartilage lesion surgery where the lesion was removed micro-fracture was done and stem cells from my hip and cadaver cartilage were inserted
Great question! It's important to consult your orthopedic surgeon, chiropractor or physical therapist before getting any adjustments following cartilage lesion surgery. Generally, after procedures like micro-fracture surgery and stem cell insertion, a careful approach is essential to ensure proper healing. Your healthcare provider can give you specific guidance based on your unique situation and recovery progress. Wishing you a smooth and speedy recovery!
I’ve been disabled from severe hip, left buttock, low back, ankle, foot and toe pain since 23. I’ve been telling drs since then now 45 that it’s coming from my foot/ankle. They don’t want to listen and I just had a hip surgery for nothing didn’t help pain at all. My arch my whole ankle really feels like it’s collapsed inward. I stuff my shoe in the arch and so much of the pain goes down. Why can’t I find a Dr to help me I don’t understand. It’s the back and inner part of ankle that needs adjusting. I constantly slammed my ankle backwards into my bed and it pops. I get seconds of relief but then I can feel it falls out again ugh. And when I press my ankle against the floor backwards it slides out.
I'm so sorry to hear about the pain you've been dealing with for so long-it sounds incredibly frustrating. It's tough when you feel like you're not being heard, especially when you've been advocating for yourself for so many years. From what you describe, it really sounds like there could be a structural issue in your ankle or foot that hasn't been fully addressed. If your ankle feels like it's collapsing inward and you're getting temporary relief from pressing or popping it, you might benefit from seeing a specialist who focuses on foot and ankle biomechanics or a chiropractor with experience in extremity adjustments. Have you tried working with someone who specializes in that area? I truly hope you're able to find the right care soon. You deserve to feel better!
Great question! A chiropractic adjustment involves applying a controlled force to a joint that’s restricted or misaligned. This can help restore normal joint function, but on a deeper level, it also influences several cellular and neurological mechanisms. When a joint is misaligned or not moving properly, it can cause mechanical stress and inflammation in surrounding tissues. Adjustments help realign the joint, which reduces local inflammation by affecting pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-α and IL-6. This can promote healing and reduce pain. On a neurological level, adjustments stimulate mechanoreceptors in the joint, which send signals to the brain that inhibit pain signals from nociceptors (pain receptors). This process, called afferent input modulation, helps the body regulate pain and improve function. Adjustments may also affect the autonomic nervous system, helping to reduce muscle tension and improve blood flow to the affected area. Chiropractic adjustments are commonly used to treat conditions such as: Sciatica: By reducing pressure on the sciatic nerve, adjustments can relieve pain radiating down the leg. Cervicogenic Headaches: Adjustments help realign the cervical spine, reducing nerve irritation and muscle tension that contribute to these headaches. Facet Joint Syndrome: Adjustments target stiff or misaligned facet joints in the spine, helping reduce localized pain and improve range of motion. Disc Herniations: While adjustments don’t "fix" a herniated disc, they can relieve pressure on the surrounding nerves, reducing pain and improving mobility. In essence, chiropractic adjustments help reset joint function, reduce inflammation, and recalibrate the nervous system for better pain management and healing at both the cellular and structural levels.
@@Mc2.health How do you know if a joint is restricted or misaligned, and how can you be sure that the force you’re applying is actually affecting the intended joint?
I need this right now
I am located in Lake Bluff, but I am sure wherever you are located you can find a great chiropractor that can help!
You are literally the best
Bro that dude really felt relief after that
He sure did! Extremity adjustments are a great tool to help manage musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction!
I adjust mines and my shin feels great.
Ankle/foot adjustment are a great method to improve ROM and obtain relief!
I’m a chiropractor for 37 years. I fix more knees and hips by fixing the ankles then I do by touching the knee or the hip.
That is great! I have had a similar experience. Those patients are lucky to have you!
Is this good for heel pain as well?

I can do this to myself but only on my right foot🤔
If you need manipulation like this done, seeing a chiropractor near you would definitely help!
