Back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints in people of all ages, and it presents itself in a number of different ways, varying from patient to patient.
The problem can be caused by a number of reasons, including injury and genetic factors. However, in a very large number of cases, back pain is in fact caused by a misalignment of forces originating in the feet through a very common condition called talotarsal dislocation.
Our body's entire balance and alignment rests in the back of the foot, in the area around the ankle and heel bones. Talatorsal dislocation occurs when the natural alignment between these two bones is lost. As a result, the foot loses its proper balance, and so does the rest of the body, including the back, shoulders, and even the neck.
In patients with talotarsal dislocation, back pain occurs as a result of a foot misalignment, and as such, the source of the problem will only be corrected when the foot imbalance is eliminated. Any treatments addressing the back directly will only relieve the symptoms, and not the real cause.
