Knee pain? You may need to consider this blog.
Knee Pain? Your Feet Might Just Be the Culprits!
Navigating through knee pain? Surprisingly, the root might be right beneath you – your feet! As an experienced podiatrist, I’ve unearthed the silent but impactful roles our feet play in knee discomfort.
Footprints to Knee Pain:
- Flat Feet or Fallen Arches? You might be journeying towards “knock knees”, stressing that knee joint more than you realize.
- High Arches? Watch out for the sneaky outward foot roll – it’s got a knack for misaligning those knees.
- Overpronating Feet? That inward foot roll can be a dance of discomfort for your knees.
- Shoe Choices: Those stylish high heels? They’re pushing your knees into the spotlight, and not in a good way. Even shoes that are too tight or loose are plotting against your leg alignment.
My toolkit? Comprehensive evaluations, functional asessments, state-of-the-art scans, and a deep dive into your walking pattern and running style. Once the mystery’s solved, I craft a tailored action plan. Sometimes, it even involves teaming up with other medical practitioners or using specialised treatment techniques of my own.
Wrap Up: Knee pain’s got you puzzled? Don’t neglect the rest of the body. Dive deep, align right, and stride towards a pain-free chapter. Ready to take the step? Book an appointment, and let’s walk this journey together. Your feet (and knees) will thank you! 😉
