It has been stated that lower back pain will occur in 80% of the population, sooner or later. An increase or a loss of the normal lumbar curve causes a loss of normal vertebral function and pain. This phenomenon is generally linked to a loss of normal foot function. Simply put, what your feet are doing, your lower back and pelvis will repeat. Collapse of the arches and ankle pronation causes lumbar spinal misalignment, leading to altered spinal curves and disc degeneration. This is addressed by the use of corrective orthotics to give the body a proper foundation, and with chiropractic care, to restore normal function.
