Hip / Knee / Ankle / Foot Pain

At Axis Chiropractic Clinic, we understand that hip, knee, ankle, and foot pain can be debilitating conditions that significantly impact your daily life. Our chiropractic care offers effective treatment options to address both the symptoms and underlying causes of these issues. Here’s how we can help:

1. Spinal Adjustments: Our chiropractors perform precise spinal manipulations to correct misalignments in the spine. These adjustments can help alleviate pressure on the nerves that affect the hips, knees, ankles, and feet, reducing pain and discomfort.
2. Soft Tissue Therapy: We utilise techniques such as massage and myofascial release to target tight muscles and fascia in the lower extremities. This therapy helps reduce muscle tension and enhance blood flow, facilitating recovery and alleviating pain.
3. Dry Needling: This technique involves inserting thin needles into specific trigger points in the muscles to relieve pain and tension. Dry needling can be particularly effective for tight muscles around the hips, knees, ankles, and feet, promoting relaxation and improving range of motion.
4. Kinesiology Taping: We may use kinesiology tape to support the hip, knee, ankle, or foot. This tape helps reduce strain on muscles and joints, alleviating discomfort while allowing for greater mobility. It can also aid in the healing process by improving circulation and reducing swelling.
5. Posture and Gait Analysis: Poor posture, improper gait, and biomechanical issues can contribute to pain in the lower extremities. Common causes of hip and knee pain include osteoarthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, ligament injuries, and overuse from repetitive activities. Our chiropractors assess your posture and walking patterns, providing tailored guidance to help you improve them, which can reduce strain on your hips, knees, ankles, and feet.
6. Ergonomic Advice: We offer practical recommendations for ergonomic adjustments in your workspace or daily activities, helping to minimise strain on your lower extremities and prevent further injury.
7. Exercise and Rehabilitation: Our team creates personalised exercise programmes designed to strengthen the muscles that support your hips, knees, ankles, and feet, improve flexibility, and promote better biomechanics. These exercises play a crucial role in your recovery and ongoing maintenance.
8. Lifestyle Modifications: Our chiropractors may suggest lifestyle changes, including stress management techniques and hydration tips, to positively impact your overall health and reduce pain in your lower extremities.
