Foot & Ankle Care
Get back to comfortable steps with a clear plan
Foot pain and ankle discomfort can make everyday life harder. Even simple steps can start to feel limiting.
FSJ Chiropractic Clinic has been a popular choice in Fort St. John for foot problems due to our approach of restoring proper function to the feet.
What Makes Our Approach Unique
Foot & Ankle Care is an assessment and treatment approach focused on restoring what the foot naturally does.
The foot has specific jobs to do. It moves you, supports you, balances you, and absorbs impact.
This is designed to support long term improvement, not temporary masking.
Dr. Elena treats common conditions such as:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Metatarsalgia
- Heel spurs
- Achilles tendinosis
- Flat feet
- Bunions
- Ankle sprains
- Shin Splints
How Your Plan of Recovery Looks
Each case is different; the plan is based on what combination of the following treatment goals are needed:
- Adjustments to restore joint movement
- Myofascial release to change poor muscle adaptations
- Strengthening areas of weakness or poor movement patterns
- Footwear recommendations for long lasting effects
The ultimate goal is to restore function so your world can get bigger again.
Did you know the human foot contains 26 bones and 33 joints!

FSJCC does not prescribe, sell or even recommended orthotics. Our treatment involves a more function and corrective look at the lower leg and prescribe exercises and home care, rather than an expensive orthotic.
Yes! Plantar fasciitis is one of the main reasons people seek chiropractic care for their feet. Plantar fasciitis may only be a symptom of underlying mechanical or muscular stress, which when identified, can be corrected.
