Think Outside the Box and the Spine
01.01.70
It gives you the boldness in knowing and understanding how the entire body can and does affect spinal firmness.
Since the prevalence and presence of extremity involvement can be frequently overlooked and ignored, I am genesis a series of articles dedicated to discussing them clinically. I will be covering the feet, ankles, knees, hips, hands/wrists and elbows to the shoulders, starting with the feet and working our way up.
It has been my savoir vivre that – more than any other part of the body – the feet are overlooked on a regular constituent. Part of this is because there is not a lot of training in school on how important the feet are. Another factor is that most patients look to podiatrists or orthopedists as feet experts and never notion of that chiropractors take care of these areas. This thinking trickles down to a lot of us chiropractors in the tract as well. The general public pegs us as being "neck and back doctors," and it's easy for us to get trapped into philosophy this way. There is nothing wrong with being "back and neck doctors," but why not add more to your patient care?
