Pain in your feet can cause a rippling effect throughout your body. Since alignment starts with your feet, small issues can throw off your whole body’s posture, alignment, and muscular balance. Pain in your foot or both feet can be due to something minor that is easily correctable — like wearing the wrong type of shoes. Other situations require a pain specialist to evaluate your feet and body to assign the right set of treatments to relieve your foot pain.
Muscle activation techniques (MAT) assist in preserving your muscles’ potential strength while addressing muscular imbalances (muscular dystrophy). MASJ is skilled in muscle activation techniques that can identify weak muscles, or muscles that are no longer interacting with the brain appropriately — all through muscle activation. This includes our feet as its combined with dozens of muscles, joints, and nerves. Our specialist in MAT, will utilize exercises and a highly specialized palpation approach to target and improve these vulnerable regions.
Plantar fasciitis is an inflamed strip of tissue linking your heel bone to your toes on the bottom of the foot. Arch & ankle discomfort is often caused by plantar fasciitis, which is one of the most prevalent reasons for pain in the foot. Pain in the heel caused by plantar fasciitis is often described as stabbing. However, the discomfort may return after long periods of standing or when you get up from a sitting position.
Plantar fasciitis can produces sharp pain at the sole of your foot, usually around the heel of your foot. The pain is generally the greatest when you first wake up, but it can also occur after extended periods of standing or when you get up from a sitting position. In most cases, the discomfort is most significant after exercising, not while.
With no treatment, plantar fasciitis can typically heals in 6 to 18 months. In 97 percent of cases, plantar fasciitis may be cured within six months with non-operative therapy like MAT.
Plantar fasciitis, on the other hand, might be resistant to home treatments. So if you’ve been suffering from plantar fasciitis and none of the usual treatments has helped, our specialist is ready to fix it.
The results give customized exercises based on the evaluation. Re-evaluation is done each month to make sure there is progress. No in-person appointment necessary and get the same level of attention and expertise.

The foot is the body’s foundation. For the foot to function properly it needs to have a sturdy base and pain-free. Many body evaluations start at the feet even when the pain is felt somewhere else on the body. This is because many issues are fixed due to a foot problem.
Our treatment assesses the foot, ankle, knee, hips, and joints following up the body. Pain in these areas may be a result of an underlying foot issue — we figure that out and treat it.
The alignment of the foot is critical. Your ankle bone alignment sets the foot spacing in the sinus tarsi. When the ankle bone falls out of place, generally over the heel bone, the area between the sinus tarsi collapses or compresses — causing pain and misalignment in the foot.
Poor foot alignment affects the rest of your body’s equilibrium. It can lead to other issues in your feet, as well as your knees, hips, and back. Just like misalignment in backs, you can have a misalignment in your feet.
Heel spurs form between the heel bone and the arch of your foot due to calcium deposition. Many people have no symptoms, while others may have discomfort and inflammation. Heel spurs are hard to diagnose by simple examination and need medical imaging to get results and foot pain relief.
