Patients are often surprised at how much attention we give to the feet! Dr. Tesoro has long recognized the important connection the feet have to the rest of the body. Over-pronation, flat feet, high arches and misalignments all effect how the rest of the body functions. Often people spend a lot of time and effort (as well as money) trying to fix an aching back, knees and hips without much success. The feet themselves can be a source of pain and disability as well. Bunions, plantar fasciitis, heel pain are a few of the foot and ankle issues we treat regularly at Sopris Chiropractic.
Dr. Tesoro has gained a reputation for being the go-to provider for the conservative management of foot and ankle issues. He performs a detailed physical, biomechanical and movement examination to properly diagnose your problem which might include diagnostic imaging such as x-rays or MRIs. Treatments can include physical manipulation, soft tissue therapies, needling, exercise and balance work, shoe recommendations, GAIT retraining and orthotics.

We partner with the best labs in the business who have the resources and expertise to fabricate orthotics that are very hard to make “in house”.
