Chiropractic for hip/knee/leg pain
Need help with your hip, knee ankle or foot?
Problems in the leg are extremely common. There are individual joints that work together as a chain like your hip, knee, ankle and foot. A problem in one can contribute to a problem, not just elsewhere in your leg, but up into your spine. That’s why it’s extremely important to get an accurate diagnosis and assessment that includes more than just where it hurts to get to the bottom of your problem.
What puts you at risk of these injuries?
- Previous injury
- Certain sports and movement patterns eg running, basketball, football, snow sports.
- Weight
- Weak or tight muscles
- Improper joint motion or alignment
- Trauma

Hip, knee and leg treatment with Chiropractic
The first step is to discover where the source of your problem is. It may not be in the joint where you have the pain and other areas may be involved. Once we have found the source of your problem and we think we can help, we begin a regime of care. In our office, we have found that a combination of skilled hands on care, an effective exercise program and lifestyle advice has helped many patients experiencing these problems. Hands on chiropractic care can improve movement and mobility, ease muscle spasm, and increase function. The goal of the exercise is to increase flexibility, strength and stability to help achieve a complete recovery and help maintain it for the future. The lifestyle advice will be tailor made for your situation which may include advice about posture, shoes, movement patterns and more.
