Sorry, not a fetish thread, but i am ok if it leads to one!
Anybody ever have their ankles/feet adjusted by a chiropractor?
I went to a podiatrist and essentially came out with my nails trimmed. He was talking about getting me fitted for arch supports really before touching my feet. I might walk bad enough he could tell I needed them, but the feeling I got was this was an offer he always gave and some people would just go along with it. I have sore ankles and feet regularly when waking up and throughout the day. I could lose a few pounds but not really any weight change in the last 10 years but feet have really started to feel the pain in the last month or so. Just a sign of getting old?
 
Way to cut my legs out from under me. If this isn't a fetish thread, I have nothing to add but a step up in the thread list.
 
I had plantar fasciitis 11 years ago. It was the worst pain I've ever experienced. I was missing work because it was excruciating to walk. I tried stretching and rolling frozen orange juice cans under my feet. I packed my feet in ice. Nothing worked. Finally one of my customers suggested I go to the Good Feet store.

I ended up buying orthotic inserts and it was the best $250 I've ever spent. They didn't work immediately. It took about 5-7 days before I started feeling relief. I almost gave up on them, but I'm glad I didn't. After a few days I could literally start to feel my feet and ankles changing position/shape. I don't even know how to describe the feeling. It was actually a little creepy and unnerving, but it was such a relief that I didn't mind. After a couple more days the pain in my arches was completely gone.

I hear people often saying that inserts didn't work for them. I imagine that sometimes it's simply not the right solution for their case, but I think sometimes people probably give up on them before they start feeling relief.

Are you fat? Cause I just can't imagine them working for me. And do you think cankles would reduce my chances of relief?

I don't yet understand you mental illness yet, but I'd certainly like to get it if it's contagious.
 
Nat, I have horrible looking feet, so feel lucky this isn't a fetish thread. I'm currently missing 6 nails, two of my toes are crooked from having been broken in the past and my big toes are extraordinarily large for the size of my feet. On top of that, I have hobbit feet, I'm 5'7 and wear 11 1/2 extra wide shoes, and my feet are hairy. Not hobbit hairy, but hairy by people standards.

Took my 11 month old to get adjusted for free on Monday and she followed up her adjustment with a 3 1/2 hour nap. Not sure if they are correlated but it sure was nice to get some yardwork done on a 70 degree November day!
 
I use a k laser and kinesiotape, in addition to adjusting the talus, navicular and calcaneus....people get better...my podiatrist refers to me
 
If you read the history of David Palmer and chiropractic practice, it's quite comical. The guy was a witch doctor who claimed every ailment known to man was caused by the back being out of adjustment. Have cancer? Get your back adjusted. Bad eyes? Get your back adjusted.

It's ridiculous quackery and it amazes me how many people buy into it.

When it comes to your back/hip/shoulder being out of alignment, I see nothing wrong with going to the chiro to get that adjusted. When you start talking cancer, sickness, and not vaccinating kids you are getting into nutjob territory. I know a couple of wackos that practice like that.

Thanks for providing an image I can never "undo."

You might be surprised what you could pull down with those hooves. Get yourself a chaturbate.com account and see. Fetish isn't usually about pretty, but the unusual.

no doubt he was crazy, but he stumbled upon a good thing. Bone setters had been around for years, osteopaths as well.

What is the source of this logic? If a chiropractor pulls on my spine and my back pain symptoms go away that seems fairly plausible. If that same chiro pulls my spine to cure my cancer, that seems like quackery. Ate chiropractors doing the former or the latter?

Both to a extent. While it may be hyperbole to suggest that most practicing chiropractors are claiming to cure cancer, they do make claims like curing migraine headaches, vision issues, etc. There is no evidence they work for anything other than a sore back and as Mayo Clinic States:

"Chiropractic adjustment can be effective in treating low back pain, although much of the research done shows only a modest benefit — similar to the results of more conventional treatments."

They're quacks charging for a glorified back popping.
 
And everyone who is in a car wreck or a slip and fall in a store requires a full course of chiropractic treatment because that's how the chiros and the ambulance chasers make a living in modern America.

I'm only an inch or two taller than that and wear the same size shoes. I'm proud of my Flintstones' feet.

My younger son is 15, is 5'8 and wears either 12 1/2 or 13, depending on the brand. His best friend is 6'5 and wears the same size shoe.
