Chiropractor for Hip/Knee/Leg Pain
Need help with your hip, knee ankle or foot?
Ryde Chiropractic often helps with hip, knee and leg pain. 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 potentially 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

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 to help you get better.
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.
YOUR HIP, KNEE OR LEG CONSULTATION
Get started by discovering the cause of your pain and get on the road to recovery.
- Starts with a Complimentary Discussion (see terms and conditions)
- If appropriate, you may continue immediately with your Comprehensive Examination.
This appointment starts with a complimentary discussion and detailed medical history with the Dr Anthony (Chiropractor) or another Chiropractor on his team. They will listen to everything you have to say and find out more about your problem and how it is affecting you.
If your Chiropractor feels they can help you, you can continue forward with a thorough examination.
The examination includes comprehensive postural, neurological, orthopaedic and chiropractic examination. If clinically indicated you may be referred for spinal x-rays, which are fully covered by medicare.
Following the consultation, your Chiropractor will carefully analyse your history, examination and x-rays (if taken) to diagnose your problem and provide his best recommendations to you at your Recommendations Conversation.
