567: Fix Your Feet with Dr. Emily Splichal - a podcast by Lucas Rockwood

from 2023-05-10T08:00

:: ::

Do you have painful feet, bunions, hammertoes, or collapsed arches? If you’ve visited a podiatrist, you most likely ended up with some orthotic inserts and were sent on your way. Hopefully, those inserts worked! Most likely, they helped a little, but as the years have passed, your condition has progressively worsened. Is there anything you can do about it? On this week’s podcast, you’ll meet a functional podiatrist who will help you understand your options.

Listen and learn: 

  • What a 15-min self-care routine might look like for your feet 
  • The pros and cons of surgical interventions 
  • Why reduced bone density might disqualify you for surgery  
  • Why flat feet is sometimes caused by ligament laxity and strength and stretch routines are unlikely to correct this structural issue
