All the joints of the leg, from the hip to the foot, work together in a coordinated system to support the body and enable complex movements like walking, running, and jumping. Muscles, tendons, and ligaments in each leg work in synergy to control and stabilize these joints, with different muscle groups contracting and relaxing in sequence to create smooth motion.
Treating leg, foot and ankle pain. While medical doctors frequently use drugs and injections to treat conditions in the leg, chiropractic care utilizes conservative measures to mobilize and align the joints. Gentle manipulation is very effective at fixing muscle imbalance as well as addressing problems with tendons and ligaments.
What are the causes of pain in our legs? The most common causes of leg, foot and ankle pain are overuse, twisting or trauma. Symptoms can include swelling, burning, and pain within the joints and muscles. You may find yourself in a vicious circle if you have leg, foot or ankle pain. It’s hard to exercise and we often don’t know what exercises we can or can’t do to make the pain subside.
Solving the pain problem. The best way to find out if chiropractic care can help you with your leg pain is to make an appointment. Call the Family Chiropractic Center and let Dr. Staley see if he can help.
