Movement fundamentals an active, self-sufficient lifestyle. Morning walks or even demanding sports activities require coordinated, agile movement. Pain-free, agile movement is a result of our complex musculoskeletal system being in alignment.
The system is disrupted by abnormalities. This is especially the case with the lower limbs. A successful remedy to this condition is the correction of the deformities. This serves as a means to restore the natural condition of biomechanics and safeguard the health of the joints.
A foot or ankle & Deformity Correction is seldom a stand-alone defect. Since the human body acts like a kinetic chain, one joint is connected to the rest. For example, foot deformities that change your gait, or the way you walk, require your body to compensate automatically to keep you balanced.
This can cause you to shift your weight unevenly, which puts stress on parts of the body that are not made to endure that kind of strain. Eventually, if the deformity in the foot is left untreated, it can continue to worsen and cause chronic pain in the:
Knees : Caused by abnormal twisting or rotation.
Hips : Caused by uneven distribution of weight.
Lower Back : Caused by poor posture and pelvis shift.
Correcting structure will address the roots of the problem, and correcting the deformity will stop the chain reaction to the joints for further loss and damage.
The correction of foot deformity is a term used to describe a large range of medical procedures that realign bones and balance the foot’s tendons to restore its shape and function. Deformities may be congenital (e.g. clubfoot), developmental (e.g. flatfoot), or acquired from trauma, arthritis, or a number of neurological conditions.
Treatment of foot deformities has come a long way and continues to evolve. Depending on the severity of the deformity, treatment may range from the use of custom orthotics to the use of minimally invasive techniques, to complex reconstructive procedures. There are, of course, treatment options that may fall anywhere along that continuum. The ultimate goal of treatment is to create a stable, pain-free foundation that supports the body and allows for function.
The cost of treating a structural aberration with delay is a decreasing quality of life. The benefits of prompt treatment are substantial.
No More Pain: Alignment as a treatment removes pressure points and thus pain when moving during the day.
Reduced Risk of Developing Early Osteoarthritis: Joints that are misaligned rub against each other irregularly, causing the protective cartilage to wear away. Realigning joints saves that cartilage and, as a result, decreases the chances of developing osteoarthritis.
Greater Range of Motion: After treatment, you can resume activities that you previously enjoyed, like going running and hiking or even standing without getting fatigued.
Here are a few examples of the major foot and ankle deformities that possess a high degree of complexity due to the multitude of joints that traverse the 26 bones that comprise the skeleton of the foot and ankle.
