Treatment for knee & hip pain
Knee & Hip pain can severely limit your lifestyle making it difficult to stand and walk, thus affecting everyday activities such as walking around at work, shopping, household duties and exercise. If left untreated it can eventually lead to problems in other areas of the body including lower back pain. These joints are quite complex and pain may be caused by several different factors.
What to do if you have knee & hip pain:
- ‘Flat Feet’ – rolling in of the ankles.
- Altered walking pattern due to a problem with the feet.
- One leg shorter than the other.
- Muscle imbalance, including tighter than normal muscles (EG: calf)
- Joint restriction in the foot, ankle, knee, kneecap, hip, pelvis, lower back etc.
- Arthritis – It is important to note that it is impossible to make the diagnosis of arthritis without x-rays, and even if arthritis is confirmed chiropractic has been proven to help
For treatment for knee & hip pain to be successful it is critical that the practitioner get the diagnosis right.
