If you’ve ever had foot pain, you know how debilitating it can be. It might be excruciating in the morning as you take your first steps, but it might hurt constantly all day too. No matter which pain you’re experiencing, foot pain can put an end to your hobbies and make you all around miserable.
Understanding the cause of foot pain is the first step to finding lasting pain relief. You’ve probably already tried a bunch of orthotics with limited success. The problem with most of these, along with most traditional treatments, is that they fail to address the root cause of your foot pain. Finding a solution feels like an impossible task, but posture correction is the answer that can help you get out of the pain you’re experiencing.
One of the most common causes of neck pain is repetitive stress of the neck muscles, tendons, and ligaments within these structures. Individuals who spend most of their day sitting at work, or doing sedentary activities, have a high-risk factor for developing this condition. The risk for developing neck pain is highest for those who sit in poor posture, with the head in a flexed forward position.
Several other causes of neck pain are also posture related, such as herniated discs, whiplash injuries, and Osteoarthritis (developing from the wear and tear of cartilage and bones). Poor posture puts your cervical spine, disks, and muscles in the neck at risk of injury and damage.
Remedies for foot pain are often limited to the foot and therefore provide only short-term relief. Fortunately, there is another proven method that focuses on the root cause of pain, resulting in lasting relief for both acute and chronic foot pain.
Ice, heat, and pain relief creams are topical remedies that might feel good when applied but usually wear off in a very short amount of time.
Steroid shots and surgeries are isolated to the location of the pain are unsuccessful when the root cause is elsewhere in the body.
General stretching and massage only provide short-term relief since their focus is on the site of the pain and not the root cause.
Over-the-counter and prescription meds only mask the pain temporarily, which often results in symptoms getting worse over time.

Treatments that are limited to the foot alone often fail because the pain area is not usually the problem area. Remedies applied directly to the pain area are ineffective when the cause of foot pain is blamed on a problem with the area itself, such as arthritis, plantar fasciitis, bone spurs, or flat arches. All of these causes actually have a single, deeper, root cause.
If the natural sitting or standing alignment of the head, shoulders, spine, pelvis, and feet are not balanced and level, then the foot muscles and arches must compensate to keep you upright. Imbalances or crookedness in the spine, hips, or knees cause the body weight to be distributed unevenly through the ankle and foot. This puts stress on the bones, muscles, and plantar fascia of the foot as they turn out or arches flatten. Knock knees can cause the arch to flatten out, putting stress on the plantar fascia. Eventually the bottom of the foot will hurt from the changes that started much higher in the body. Until you track the foot pain back to the deepest source of the problem, you’ll continue to struggle with temporary relief, if any at all.
For treatment of foot pain to be truly effective, it must focus on correcting posture and straightening the joints from head to toe. Posture Therapy is the only method that provides whole-body posture correction and pain relief.
