Dr. Jason Worrall-Chiropractic Foot Adjustment

[kelemso101]

i am a ballet dancer , and my feet feel really jammed in my heel and ankle , is there a safe way i can un jam it?

[inasez]

I have flat feet, accessory naviculars in both feet, and constant lower back pain. My doctors recommend surgery for the accessory navicular and special insoles for the flat feet. Would regular chiropractic adjustments even be worth my time without the recommended surgery et al?

[ActiveHealthClinic]

@inasez Thank you for your comment! The first problem is when you say doctor, it appears you're seeing a medical doctor for problems that they know nothing about. Similarly, I wouldn't advise you on medications or surgical procedures. If I were you, I'd get to a Chiropractor, get examined, and take it from there. Find a Chiro that specializes in extremities, and muscle balancing also. If you have bones/joints in your feet that are not moving well, and adjustment will definitely help!

[ActiveHealthClinic]

@inasez I'm curious if they've even checked your low back, let alone taken an xray of the area? Go to a Chiropractor.

[inasez]

@ActiveHealthClinic My last doctor was of the opinion that my lower back pain is mostly caused by my flat footedness and improper posture and he recommended a foot and ankle specialist to eval possible surgery for the accessory naviculars that also cause me foot pain and gait issues. I had originally went to him to discuss whether a breast reduction would solve my back pain (a whole 'nother story), but he seems to think its an overall posture and foot issue. I will see a chiro, thanks!!

[inasez]

@ActiveHealthClinic no x-ray, just an exam and lots of squeezing and prodding and watching me walk across the floor and back. :(

[CookieXBagel]

That looks like it feels absolutely great, haha

[ActiveHealthClinic]

@CookieXBagel Thanks for the comment! It does feel great. What feels so good is when you put the body back where it's supposed to be so it can move the way its supposed to. Spread the word about what we're doing! Thanks!

[trollkilla100]

I had a navicular cuniform fusion to 5 joints because of arthritis. Would it help to get a foot adjustment to relieve stiffness and movement?

[OhMaDayzz]

How old do you need to be to have these things done to you? Are there certain ages where it is not advisable to have this done?

[ActiveHealthClinic]

@OhMaDayzz Thank you for your comment. Children can have their feet checked and adjusted if necessary as early as 2-3 years old. When we check the feet, we are looking for joints that don't move properly (subluxation), and we put motion into that joint to restore normal motion (the adjustment). There are no age restrictions on adjusting.

[9sFellow]

yeah i've seen those socks at costco

[ebucchino]

the only chiropractors i've ever been able to find don't adjust extremities =(

[ActiveHealthClinic]

@ebucchino Thanks for the comment. Keep looking!

[a217andy]

nice socks

[UHeardMe1stTime]

I had no idea you could adjust a foot.

[RagnarPirate2]

Hi Doc! Amazing video!!! Could you post a few adjusting videos for the knee or shoulder? Ty

[KiwiHorseProductions]

Do you think this could benefit a ballet dancer's feet?

[ActiveHealthClinic]

@KiwiHorseProductions Thanks for the comment! Yes, absolutely. When the feet don't move properly, the bones get stuck (subluxation) and need adjusting. Get yourself to a Chiropractor!

[summersenvy7]

looks like he's performing multiple submission techniques.

[MosesHightower]

now i just need to get the pinched nerve in my big toe that was there before to relax. any suggestions for that? this happened from being out of alignment too long i think.

[ActiveHealthClinic]

@MosesHightower I can't diagnose or treat through the internet, although you may see yourself feeling a lot better after visiting a trained Chiropractor. Your toe pain may be coming from the nerves in your low back, or from a peripheral entrapment, possibly the foot itself. Remember, you're watching an adjusting tutorial-to show people how a well trained Chiropractor who is great at extremity adjusting performs the adjustment. I hope you're able to see a D.C. and feel better. Thanks!

[MosesHightower]

wow, thank you so much for posting this vid! i can finally run again without limping! my 2nd metatarsal & big toe joints were out. i have trying for a while to adjust the big toe upward like that and it wouldn't move until i grabbed it the way you did and i heard it gently pop upon adjusting. the 2nd metatarsal was causing pain in the big toe rather than on the joint directly. both adjustments felt great and now my toe joint is totally relaxed & pain free :) thank you!!

[ActiveHealthClinic]

@MosesHightower Thank you for your comment and you're welcome. I must tell you though, that this is not a "self-adjusting" tutorial, as that is impossible. You can attempt to "adjust" your own joints, but that defeats the purpose of an adjustment-taking a joint just beyond the para-physiological joint motion and delivering a specific thrust. I'm glad you feel better, but when you try to adjust a joint by yourself, you only stretch the ligaments. See a Chiropractor.

[MosesHightower]

@AHC - i totally understand & agree. i do have a chiro locally who i see that is amazing & is the only one i've seen who is able to adjust all the other misalignments i've had. the last time i saw him though he was not able to adjust the toe - he just couldn't get any movement and the pain was too much to deal with. i literally got these to move on the first attempt after watching your methods so i don't feel any harm was done. everything else is aligned now so i do feel it's a pinched nerve.

[skitzo429]

the first adjustment he did looks like it feels awesome

[ActiveHealthClinic]

@skitzo429 Thanks for your comment! It feels great to get adjusted! Especially the feet, which have 26 bones that move (or should move). See your local Chiropractor today! Thanks for spreading the word!!

[onyxcrush]

i want a foot adjustment soo bad. I have sore arches. My foot hurst. should I see a podiatrist or chiropractor????

[ActiveHealthClinic]

@onyxcrush Thanks for your comment! You should see a Chiropractor! A podiatrist is a medical doctor that focuses on the feet, and mainly on pathology, or structure, opposed to function. The few podiatrists that I have seen that focus on function, prescribe rigid orthotics, which is a no-no for the feet. Go to a podiatrist if you need foot surgery or medicine for your feet. Go to a Chiropractor when you need your feet adjusted and balance restored.

best!

[RedTailedTuna]

I have never found a chiropractor that adjust knees or ankles why don't the know how to do this?

[ActiveHealthClinic]

@RedTailedTuna Thank you for your comment! Adjusting is a skill taught in school at a basic to moderately proficient level, and some choose to develop it and practice it. I can only tell you that it was and is very important to me to be able to help others, and the more tools I have, the better.

[bbaker904]

Wondering if this would would be all right with psoriatic arthritis in the subtalar? Currently post high ankle sprain with rupured anterior tiniofibular ligament and other ligament injuries that are not healing well. Have sprain both ankles twice prior and now use rigid AFO's to walk without pain.

[bbaker904]

@bbaker904 Sorry, bad typing. Post high ankle sprain. Anterior tibiofibular ligament rupture, Talofibular ligament tear. Multiple other sprained ligaments. Have psoriatic arthritis and can hardly walk without pain. Using bilateral rigid afo's.

[ActiveHealthClinic]

@bbaker904 Thank you for your comments! While I can't give you a treatment plan online, it's likely that this would help. Remember a few things: Arthritis is INFLAMMATION-which means fluids are accumulating, and they need to MOVE out of the area. Also, psoriatic arthritis is an auto-immune inflammatory disease, so there are many things that you can do to reduce the inflammation, such as modify your diet and exercise.

[ActiveHealthClinic]

@bbaker904 Multiple sprains suggests poor ligament health, a likely side effect of adrenal stress, which makes sense if you have an autoimmune condition. Also, poor healing usually involves the adrenals. You need to get to a doctor that can both adjust you and help you nutritionally. Get adjusted!

[bbaker904]

@ActiveHealthClinic Thanks for writting back. Can't adjust diet. Also have colitis and on a stricked diet. Allergic to latex related foods and chocolate.

[ActiveHealthClinic]

@bbaker904 You're welcome! If you saw what I wrote, I talked about adrenal stress. No one is allergic to chocolate unless there adrenal glands can't handle sugar and cocoa. Milk isn't good for you anyways, and sugar is like a drug...But...All things in moderation my friend. Adrenal stress is a killer. Read the book Paleo Diet, or Body by Rey. The reason you have those is likely because of diet in the first place. Best of Luck!

[bbaker904]

@ActiveHealthClinic Ok let's stop here. My adrenal system is fine. I went threw pancreatic tumor sugery last year so know that for sure. I don't believe in the diest changes anymore. I've had the colitis since a child and arthritis since mid 20's and have tried nearly every diet out there. Many make my colitis explode. My main question was if it is safe to adjust with the arthritis I have. But diet changes are not welcome suggestions.Thank you anyway and goodbye.

[littlefuzzer]

Seems like he takes chiropractics to the next level

[ActiveHealthClinic]

@littlefuzzer Thanks buddy! If you haven't had your feet adjusted, get them checked.

[tvloonie111]

Would Yoga Toes be good  for helping keep the foot bones in allignment?

[ActiveHealthClinic]

@tvloonie111 Thanks for your comment! I just looked them up online, as I have never heard about or seen them before. It appears to be a decent way to stretch and straighten you toes, which would I would liken to taping the feet with Kinesiotape and adjusting them. The question is, do your toes need stretching and straightening, or is there a problem with your rear-foot, mid-foot or fore-foot? May be worth a try.

[outfamous626]

hey doc. . . . does this adjustmen help for sprained ankles . . . .about 4 weeks ago i sprained my ankle and i felt it pop. i was able to walk just that i got really swollen and purple. now that the swelling is gone my ankle looks weird looks inward. can an adjustment like this help me out?

[msjj76]

I am always looking forward to visit Active Health for my adjustment, most especially on my feet! I wear high heels and it had taken a toll on me :(

Thanks Dr. W - your favorite patient, J.

[ActiveHealthClinic]

@msjj76 Thanks J! That's IT! It feels good to have a healthy functioning nervous system and it certainly feels great when your feet move well! I love getting adjusted!

[heyleegoodcat]

Hey doc, thanks for the how to, I am going out rock climbing today and you helped me adjust my feet before now they feel loads better.

Appreciate it.

[ActiveHealthClinic]

@heyleegoodcat Sounds good! Get to a Chiropractor and have them check you out. Just like going to a dentist to look at your teeth. Take Care!

[ActiveHealthClinic]

To "drsoandso," your name pretty much says a LOT about you. There is no mention of spinal subluxation or innate intelligence, but apparently you are projecting your thoughts, feelings and emotions onto a perfectly decent extremity adjusting tutorial. Seriously, about 19,808 people/views (at this moment) find this video helpful, yet your channel has 290 total views. Handle your business before you go talking about other peoples. You keep on being "soandso" and I'll be ME, making contributions.

[drsoandso]

Honestly... what does this have to do w/ "adjusting spinal subluxation" so that "innate intellegence" can "heal the body"?

This could be osteopathy but its not chiropractic.

[RobertLeroy99]

so relaxing puts me to sleep

[ActiveHealthClinic]

Thanks for the comments guys! Always new videos coming out...stay tuned. Just make sure your spreading the word that people MUST get their spine (and extremities) checked for Subluxation-so we can remove it and allow the body to function at its optimal level.

[WildBillHickums]

this dude could get millions of views with his demo style, and on top of the fact that you can hear the cracks really well. I tell you there is an art to getting lots of views for chiropractic videos. This guy needs to post more.

[Beau74]

Most chiropractors come off as quacks. You seem like the real deal. Good job.

[MarquisSanders1]

he obviously stopped at meijers and picked up those socks before his appointment, theyre tooo fresssh;)

[ActiveHealthClinic]

You're welcome! Thank you for leaving your input! I hope you find a Chiropractor to check your feet and start feeling and moving better!

[mshellywell]

THANK YOU! I dropped a marble slab on my foot, and 11 wks later I knew that I needed something like this. Now I know what to look for and what to watch for.

[ActiveHealthClinic]

Hey guys, thanks for the comments! I appreciate the support! That's it! Straight to the point because a log of people don't know this info. We've got to spread the word! Anyone interested in coming on is welcome to call my office at 925-943-2222. I'm also happy to answer questions if anyone has them.

[Martena56]

This guy is radcore. No bullshit, straight to it. He's in the 5% of chiropractic vids that do this. 

[neopc14]

How much does such a session cost?

[larkapoodle]

thanx!

[ActiveHealthClinic]

I can't say whether someone else will hurt you or not. What I can tell you is that foot adjusting is taught in Chiropractic college, but many doctors don't spend much time learning it. I'm not making a judgement, just sharing what I know. Your doc either knows it or doesn't, it's pretty simple. You should discuss with him.

[larkapoodle]

cool! i just want to make sure he won't hurt me or anything. also, i obviously don't knnow which adjustment technique i need, so he would know which one to use? idk if you can answer that really...

[ActiveHealthClinic]

No problem! Definitely stay with your doc if you like him/her. Most docs learn the majority of their adjusting skills in extra curricular seminars.

[larkapoodle]

thanx for your help! i'm not really interested in switching doctors right now, but do you think if i showed him this video he'd be able to do it on me? or does one need to learn it in school?

[ActiveHealthClinic]

Hello and Thank You!!! Here's the thing, most docs aren't that good at adjusting the feet. They do the same "pull" technique and say they're mobilizing. Find a doc that can adjust feet if thats what you are looking for.

They are out there. Thanks for the comment!

[larkapoodle]

cool video! i've been having stiffness and some pain in my left ankle, foot and knee. i go to a chiropractor and he *pulls* my foot, but he says it's locked or too stiff. do u have any suggestions for me or what i could tell my chiro to do? thanx!

[knight398]

I have those socks.

[MobileMinji]

Dr. Worrall! Awesome video!

Thanks for making my Morton's Neuroma disappear without pain killer or surgery! My foot and I are very grateful that I am scar-free and pain free. You definitely cured its root cause through adjustment, not just treating superficial symptom.

Wish Kelly Rippa saw your video when she was going through the same Morton's Neuroma condition!

[maxams]

Amazing to see this possibility of naturally healing a foot condition I have had Morton's neuroma for three years. Not all chiropractics can do foot adjustments and work with this condition. This video provides a wonderful service to the health community. I called him and was very impressed with his openness and patience. I feel he is very sincere and would definitely recommend him to any of my friends.

[Nick311Hexum]

Nice video Dr! Most Chiropractic videos on youtube are horseshit....You sound like you know what you're doing! Post more please.

[ackeng]
