foot problems

I went to the podiatrist, against the advice of my personal trainer. She feels that a chiropractor using the airrosti method of healing sports injuries would work better. But I do not have any experience with that and am a little distrustful of chiropractors in general. I don't feel they can fix everything. I may try a chiropractor for a musculoskeletal problem, but I think that the podiatrist will find that I have a neuroma or something.

He took x-rays and felt around. I went back today to get the diagnosis and treatment. Tendinitis. He gave me a cortisone shot to help with the inflammation and it should get better. We shall see. I might try some other therapies also, taping, icing, deep massage, etc.

But the good thing is that there are exercises to do that do not hurt my foot. So the personal trainer is working on the rest of my flabby body.
