Abstract
AbstractObjectiveThe objective of this case study was to review the effectiveness of manipulative therapy in the treatment of long-standing foot pain.MethodsA retrospective review on the treatment of a single subject with a 5-year history of foot pain. Pressure threshold meter testing was used to assess the changes in joint function at each treatment.ResultsUsing algometric pressure threshold measurement, a starting threshold of 1 kg was raised to 7.4 kg over a 2-month period and maintained at this level at a 3-month follow-up. Over the same period, the subject has gone from having constant, debilitating foot pain to being completely pain free.ConclusionThis case suggests that manipulative therapy may be a valid approach in the treatment of foot pain. Such intervention receives some support from the literature and warrants further research.
