Hip Pain

The hip is a crucial joint that supports the body during movement and while standing. However, hip pain can result from various sources, including tight or inflexible muscles, connective tissues, and poor movement patterns. Over time, these issues can lead to wear-and-tear or degenerative changes in the hip joint. Additionally, hip pain is sometimes referred from the lower back or caused by nerve entrapment, making accurate diagnosis key to effective treatment.

​

Knee Pain

As the largest joint in the body, the knee is essential for mobility and acts as a shock absorber, supporting your body weight during activities. Pain in this area can make even the simplest tasks—like walking, standing, or climbing stairs—challenging. Often, knee pain isn’t isolated; it may stem from dysfunction in the hips or ankles, highlighting the interconnected nature of the lower limb.

Foot Pain

Your feet are the foundation of movement, and even minor pain can disrupt daily activities. Plantar fasciitis, one of the most common foot conditions, occurs when the connective tissue along the sole becomes inflamed. Other causes of foot pain include nerve entrapments, such as Morton’s neuroma, and even pain referred from the lower back. Chronic foot pain often requires a multifaceted approach to find lasting relief.
