Does foot manipulation work?

  Staff        August 3, 2013

Foot manipulation is defined as as a rapid forceful movement of a joint of the foot. It is similar to what chiropractors do to the back. More and more clinicians from different disciplines are fusing foot manipulation to treat a wide range of conditions of the foot. The scientific evidence for its use is mixed and there is no clear good science that supports it. Some clinicians use it some very specific condition like cuboid syndrome in conjunction with a range of other treatment options. Other clinicians use it as there primary method of treating a large range of conditions. It is for this reason that it use does have some controversy. There are plenty of anecdotes and testimonials that it works.
