How a problematic ankle sets off a chain reaction of Pain.
Hello there
At the pain centre we occasionally see clients who come in with lower back, hip, groin, leg pain that was caused or worsened by problems in the ankle and foot that have not been treated.
The reason is simple but profound, it changes every step you take.
The foot is the only point of contact our legs have with the floor when walking.
Even long after the pain has stopped or lessened, there are commonly hidden issues that affect flexibility, strength of the ankle and foot changing how you walk.
The most common changes are people tilting their bodies when swinging the problematic ankle forward and rotating the leg outwards while walking.
When taking thousands of steps, these changes strains and weakens muscles.
If left untreated creates multiple chronic muscle spasms and pain up the leg moving into your back.
If you are living with pain and would like to live pain free
