Since graduating from the University of Western States Chiropractic College, Dr. Tom Michaud has published numerous book chapters and dozens of articles on subjects ranging from biomechanics of the first ray and shoulder to the pathomechanics of vertebral artery dissection.

In 1993, Michaud's first textbook was published: Foot Orthoses and Other Forms of Conservative Foot Care, which was eventually translated into four languages. His next book, published in 2012, Human Locomotion: The Conservative Management of Gait-Related Disorders, was a textbook used in physical therapy, chiropractic, pedorthic, and podiatry schools around the world.

In addition to lecturing on clinical biomechanics internationally, Michaud has served on the editorial review boards for Chiropractic Sports Medicine and The Australasian Journal of Podiatric Medicine. Over the past 35 years, Michaud has maintained a busy private practice in Newton, Massachusetts, where he has treated thousands of elite and recreational runners.
