During an initial chiropractic evaluation, attention is paid to patients’ gait, upright posture, and orientation of their feet. With this in mind, it is interesting to point out that about 20%-30% of the population is born with a foot trait known as “Morton’s foot.” Often also referred to as “Morton’s toe,” this term refers to a second toe that appears to be longer than the first toe, caused by a first metatarsal bone that is shorter than the second metatarsal. As a result, it can contribute to various musculoskeletal issues, as the weight normally carried by the ball of the foot at the base of the big toe shifts to the balls at the bases of the other toes.
There are amazingly 26 bones in the foot, with each and every one capable of causing pain! At FAMILY PRACTICE OF CHIROPRACTIC, we are seriously concerned with the education of our patients about health and the body’s natural state. The next time a health problem strikes someone in your family, or you think you could benefit from a chiropractic check-up, think about the quality and expert care we provide. We invite you to call 617.472.4220 to schedule an appointment. Our office is located at 112 McGrath Hwy., Quincy. We offer computerized spinal scans.
P.S. Morton’s foot/toe is also referred to as “Greek foot” because the ancient Greeks found the trait to be so aesthetically appealing that they incorporated it into paintings and sculptures, including Michelangelo’s David.

However, a well-designed study found that, over the period of one month, those sleeping on hard mattresses did slightly worse in terms of back symptoms and sleep quality than those sleeping on either bodyconforming foam mattresses or water beds. It seems that ...

Spring is here! Not officially, but we are getting revitalized and ready to go! With this added excitement it is time to begin the spring clean in our garden. Although we are invigorated by the warmth, gardening can provide a great workout but with all of the bending, twisting, reaching and pulling, your body may ...
