Can spinal decompression help with drop foot? Read on!


Drop foot is a condition that makes it difficult to lift the front part of the foot, often causing the toes to drag or "catch" while walking. Many people compensate by lifting their thigh higher than normal (steppage gait) to clear the floor.


One of the most common causes of drop foot is nerve compression, particularly of the peroneal nerve, which controls the muscles responsible for lifting the foot.

This compression can stem from:

A pinched nerve in the spine

Nerve damage after hip or knee surgery

Underlying neurological conditions


At Triangle Spinal Decompression in Cary, NC, we take a thorough, non-surgical approach to evaluating and treating drop foot. If a compressed nerve in the spine is the root cause, spinal decompression therapy may help relieve pressure, restore nerve function, and improve mobility.


If you're experiencing drop foot, don't wait—call 919-469-8897 today to schedule a consultation with Dr. Parker Neill or Dr. Abigail Swank and explore your treatment options!
