Most people don’t realize this: Your feet may determine how long you stay mobile, independent, and pain-free.
In this episode of The Chiropractor’s A-Game, I sit down with Dr. Shawn Ward, DPM, to unpack what really happens to the feet as we age—and why ignoring foot health quietly accelerates joint pain, balance issues, and fall risk.
We cover:
• Why tight calves (equinus) are the root of so many foot problems
• How thinning fat pads and skin change mobility with age
• The connection between foot mechanics, posture, and spinal health
• Why strength + flexibility matter more than “routine foot care”
This conversation is a must-listen if you care about aging strong from the ground up.
🎧 Listen now and rethink everything you thought you knew about foot health.
