It really depends on the severity of the joint damage. The fascia of the foot really needs to be loosened via stretching, strengthening and manual techniques. There are braces that can be helpful as well, but the myofascial work that can be quite painful gets the best results. I hope this info is helpful. Take care and be well.

There are ways to do what you ask, however seek the correct Doctor who is skilled at working with feet and in most cases, that will not be a Chiropractor. There may be some who might have taken special educational courses, however that is not the general case for a Chiropractor.
