I dislocate my peroneal tendon can I heal with a chiropractor?!
Question:
Answers:
The above answer is both correct and incorrect. True, chiropractic will likely not have a profound effect on your injury, but chiropractors, including myself, treat extremities (ankles, knees, elbows, wrists, shoulders, TMJ, etc.), not only spinal injuries. Any joint in the body can be effectively treated by a chiropractic physician.
Other Answers:
No, I do not think so (but I am not a physician). Chiropractic involves the manipulation of the spine to correct "misalignment." There is nothing about the dislocation of the peroneal tendon (in the leg/ankle) that has anything to do with spinal alignment.
You need to see an orthopedic physician or a foot/ankle surgeon for an evaluation. Physical therapy is often recommended, although surgery is sometimes necessary for ruptured tendons.
Stick with a physician and a medical treatment plan including physical therapy.
