Foot Pain

I went to my family physician numerous times over a 5-year period to get relief from a sharp pain in my left foot. The pain had grown worse over the years. My foot had been poked, prodded and x-rayed, and I was prescribed anti-inflammatory and pain relief medications. Nothing worked. I avoided stairs and curbs and shortened my stride in an effort to avoid the pain. In desperation, I asked a friend to recommend a doctor. She suggested chiropractic care with Dr. Wertin. I was skeptical at first. How could a few gentle adjustments of my back help my foot? After three treatments I could feel a difference, and three months later I could climb and descend steps, pain-free. – Joanne
