At Groove Chiropractic in Vancouver, WA, foot and ankle concerns are not an afterthought. They’re a specialty area rooted in years of treating dancers, runners, field athletes, pregnant patients, and people recovering from injuries. If your feet hurt, it can affect your entire kinetic chain. If your ankles are stiff or unstable, compensation can occur anywhere from your knees to your low back. And once the body starts over-compensating, symptoms can multiply.
Exercises, adjusting, soft tissue therapies, kinesiology taping, and IASTM ("scraping") are just a few of the treatment strategies that Dr. Cydney uses to address foot and ankle symptoms.
Groove Chiropractic takes a whole-body approach to foot and ankle care. Your pain may be showing up in the foot, but the cause might be limited hip rotation, weak glutes, stiff big toes, or tight calves. Everything is connected.

What Sets Groove Apart From Other Foot & Ankle Chiropractic Offices in the Area?
Dr. Cydney spends up to one hour with each new patient, and up to 30 minutes during most follow-up appointments, ensuring time for thorough, relevant examinations and personalization of each care plan.
There are no open floor plans with patients being treated right next to one another.
Her background in both sports medicine and performing-arts biomechanics helps her understand movement at a deeper level, including the demands of pointe work, jumps, turns, and stunting.
This isn’t a generic foot protocol. It’s personalized care tailored to your sport, job, and lifestyle.
She looks beyond the foot, because sometimes your “foot problem” is really a pelvic or spinal compensation pattern.
You'll receive management strategies to use while you are OUTSIDE of the office, which is where Dr. Cydney hopes to help you spend more time living life, playing your sport, loving your art, and enjoying family time!
Dr. Cydney invests time in continuing education that strengthens her ability to provide culturally competent care to LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and other commonly marginalized groups.
