The Lowdown on Lower Leg Pain

Does knee, ankle, or foot pain have you down? As we age, the chances of lower leg pain, particularly in the knee, ankle, and foot, increases. Characteristics such as a decreased ability to move, bear weight, or walk, tenderness, and swelling or stiffness in the joint could mean you are at risk of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, or other similar diseases.

If you are experiencing knee, ankle, or foot pain that is not the result of an injury, it could like be due to added pressure from an increase in weight or lifestyle change. The joints below the knee are quite small, so drastic changes such as weight gain or change in lifestyle can easily shift or strain the joints.

How Can Chiropractic Help?

Chiropractic adjustments are an excellent way to relieve and manage swelling in discomfort in the lower leg caused by knee, ankle, and foot pain. Regular adjustments provides patients with lower leg pain with a safe, non-addictive, and non-invasive treatment that is an alternative to prescription or over-the-counter medications, which are commonly prescribed to help patients manage swelling and pain.

At Stiles Chiropractic, we deliver gentle and effect chiropractic adjustments. These adjustments reduce misalignments in the spine and joints and help reduce inflammation while also improving function of the affected joints and the nervous system. By increasing mobility of the joints and improving the overall wellness of the nervous system, your body will have the ability to better manage symptoms resulting from knee, ankle, and foot pain.
