Knee and leg pain can make everyday movements like walking, climbing stairs, or standing uncomfortable. It may develop gradually from daily strain or appear suddenly due to injury or overuse.
At Lakeside Chiropractic, we focus on identifying the cause of your knee or leg pain and providing care that helps restore movement and reduce discomfort, not just short term but long term.
What Causes Knee and Leg Pain
Knee and leg pain can come from a range of factors. It is often related to joint stress, muscle imbalance, or repetitive movements that place strain on the lower body. Activities such as running, lifting, or prolonged standing can also contribute.
In some cases, the pain may not come directly from the knee or leg itself. It can be linked to the hips, lower back, or nerves, which is why a proper assessment is important.
Common Symptoms
Symptoms can vary depending on the cause. Some people notice stiffness or aching around the knee, while others feel sharper pain during movement or when putting weight on the leg.
Pain may remain localised or travel down the leg. In some cases, it may be accompanied by tightness, weakness, or reduced flexibility. Tingling or numbness can also occur when nerves are involved.
How We Treat Knee and Leg Pain
We begin by assessing how your joints, muscles, and surrounding areas are functioning. Based on this, we create a personalised plan to improve movement, reduce tension, and support recovery.
Treatment may include chiropractic adjustments to improve joint mobility, along with soft tissue therapy to address muscle tightness. Cold laser therapy may also be used to help reduce inflammation and support healing. We also provide guidance on movement and simple exercises to help maintain your progress.
Our goal is to improve how your body functions, not just relieve pain temporarily.
