But, if you work out your legs with any sort of intensity and regularity, that slight imbalance in the foot will work it's way up your leg, and in my case it ended up causing a sinking of the sacroiliac joint in the hip, which literally throws off every aspect of normal leg motion mechanics. Just something to consider  Thanks for the heads up. I think i will give the podiatrist a crack because muscles aside i'm almost certain various sections of my skeletal structure are far from symmetrical. | ||

Just something to consider Would a chiropracter probably identify this or would you really need to see a podiatrist? I could see that being possible but just curious. | ||

That depends heavily on the chiropractor; many are more concerned with drumming up repeat business than "fixing" the problem, along with the issues presented by their far less rigorous education compared to that of actual MD's. In general, I would always prefer an MD's opinion over a chiropractor's, but that is not to say that some people can't get benefits from spinal manipulation. In the case of identifying exercise related physiology and anatomy problems, definitely opt for the podiatrist or physical therapist over the chiro. | ||

I've heard so many off-the-wall claims about chiro's that I basically would only trust them if my back needed manipulating. One friend told me hers said I should come in for my Crohn's. That in particular made me terrified of the field. | ||

Yeah, as far as I'm concerned, if you have some spinal alignment issues or some nagging back pain, then maybe consider a chiropractor after seeing a doctor first. Otherwise, steer clear for sure, it is not uncommon to hear about ridiculous chiro claims or patients of chiropractors whose conditions worsen after chiro treatment. Tread very carefully with alternative medicine imo. | ||
