208 - FSM Podcast: Foot Mechanics, Imaging That Changed Everything, Pivoting Goals in Complex Pain Cases
About this episode
The episode discusses foot mechanics, the impact of imaging on treatment plans, and the importance of resetting goals in complex pain cases.

Dr. Carol Kim Pittis explains how restricted tarsal and talus motion can disrupt gait mechanics and how tools like an activator may stimulate proprioceptors. She then recounts a home visit with an 83-year-old man with four prior spine surgeries and severe chronic pain; a CT scan revealed extensive fusion (including pelvis), lateral vertebral shift, and hardware issues that changed the care plan away from forcing upright posture and toward safe walking, lower-leg/foot mobility, and symptom management. After targeted FSM protocols and supportive strategies, his leg circulation improved, and he became virtually pain-free, highlighting the importance of imaging, clinical judgment, and resetting goals…
