‘Anklebot’ Helps Determine Ankle Stiffness

8. Blog reader:

richies77 asked a questionHi, Incredible source of information. I have severe arthritis in the 2nd toe of my left foot. I have very little dorsiflexion and this has caused my hip flexor to become chronically, extremely tight. This has twisted my entire spine and made me pretty much disabled. I’ve been offered orthotics and perhaps rocker shoes but do you think surgery is the only way to bring back correct balance to my spine? Does anything else actually work? Thank you!
