Why Chiropractors in Fanwood Examine the Whole Patient

A recent case study described a patient with foot numbness who had been diagnosed with tarsal tunnel syndrome.

After conventional treatment failed, the patient was referred to a specialist who discovered dysfunction further up the course of the tibial nerve.

The patient reported his foot symptoms resolved once the compressive force on the tibial nerve was reduced.

This underscores the importance of examining the whole patient to identify causes of pain that may exist outside of the affected area; otherwise, the patient may not experience a successful treatment outcome.
