Foot Drop
Foot drop is a condition where a person is unable to walk on one or both of their heels keeping the foot up due to weakness in muscles in the lower leg called the peroneal muscles. The cause of this weakness is usually nerve dysfunction many times coming from pressure on the nerves in the lower back.
Frisco Spinal Rehab Chiropractic Clinic utilizes chiropractic adjustments and spinal decompression for cases of foot drop where the discs in the spine are compressing the peripheral nerves which control the raising of the foot.
By gently mobilizing the vertebrae and separating the discs in the spine our Doctors of Chiropractic can relieve pressure on the associated nerves which may allow for normal function of the foot. Our Chiropractors can also help guide you through physical rehabilitation which can help alleviate the foot drop disorder.
If you are suffering from foot drop and are looking for an alternative to decompression surgery, visit Frisco Spinal Rehab today for a complete exam and diagnosis. Time may be of the essence because this condition can become permanent without proper treatment.
