Knee, Ankle & Foot Pain Treatment in Coffs Harbour

Why Knee, Ankle & Foot Pain Happens

The lower limbs work together as a connected chain. When one area isn’t moving properly, it can place extra strain on the others, often leading to pain, stiffness or injury.

Common contributing factors include:

• Poor foot mechanics or flat feet
• Overuse or repetitive strain
• Sudden twisting or impact injuries
• Muscle imbalance or weakness
• Poor posture or gait changes
• Tight calves, hamstrings or hip muscles
• Pelvic or lower back alignment issues
• Returning to sport too quickly
• Previous injuries that never fully healed

Your chiropractor will assess your spine, pelvis, hips, knees, ankles and feet to identify what’s contributing to your symptoms.
