CHIROPRACTIC FOR LOWER LIMB JOINT PAIN
The joints of, hips, knees, ankles and feet all suffer from biomechanical problems that Chiropractic can help you with.
Chronic and overuse injuries like plantar fasciitis, ITB and runners knee, involve far more complicated biomechanical systems. Causative factors for these conditions require correct orthopaedic testing and analysis of the entire biomechanical chain. Identifying these problems both through orthopaedic testing and motion analysis will provide the patient with optimal care to rehabilitate their condition.
Hips
Hip degeneration and pain is common. Chiropractic adjustments can help by improving the range of movement and mobility, providing better alignment. Successfully dealing with hip problems may include checking and correcting any misalignments in the spine and also the movement and alignment of the knee, ankle and foot as any incorrect movement or alignment here can affect the hips.
Knees
The knee joint carries most of the weight of the body and is subject to tremendous forces during normal daily activities and sport. Knee pain may be due to a misalignment within the knee, or to a problem with the ligaments or muscles supporting the knee. The mechanics of the hip above and the ankle below can cause stress and pain in the knee, so a Chiropractor will conduct a thorough assessment to find out the cause of the problem in your case.
Ankles
Ankle pain has a variety of causes, the most common of which are a sprain or stubbing the toe hard. After an injury, weakening of the ligaments that support the ankle can make a recurrence more likely. The good news is that Chiropractic adjustments can restore mobility and the full range of motion, relieve pain and allow complete and correct healing to take place.
Feet
Each foot has 26 bones so there are many joints in the foot where problems can occur. A problem with the way any of these individual bones move and articulate with each other can lead to foot pain. Chiropractic adjustments can help to relieve pain.
