Guy grabbing foot is feeling pain and should seek his local chiropractor

Whether you have an acute or chronic condition or have suffered from an injury that is causing you to suffer from knee pain, ankle pain or foot pain, our chiropractor and physical therapist in New Albany IN is prepared to provide you with relief. Chiropractic is a holistic form of medicine that relies on natural therapies and treatments to help patients’ injuries heal while alleviating pain without the use of drugs or the need for surgery. Here at 1st Choice Health & Wellness, we treat all kinds of knee, ankle and foot pain.

Common Types of Knee Pain

Overuse, long periods of standing and injuries of various types can cause swelling, aching, and limited mobility of the knees. Degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis and arthritis caused by uric acid buildup are common culprits, as is bursitis, a condition sourced by repetitive use or injuries to the knee. Another common condition we treat is chondromalacia patella, which occurs when the cartilage beneath the kneecap is damaged. Baker’s cysts are a buildup of synovial fluid behind the knee which can cause inflammation and pain. We also see quite a few sports injuries that result in knee damage such as ACL and MCL tears.

Common Types of Ankle Pain

Sprains and strains are the most typical reasons patients seek our care for sore ankles. However other conditions can source ankle pain such as:

Arthritis—Inflammation of the ankle joints that limits mobility and causes a dull ache

Osteoarthritis—Caused by wear and tear on the ankles, the symptoms are similar to arthritis

Bursitis—Inflammation in the knee, typically due to overuse or an injury

Achilles Tendonitis—Overuse of Achilles tendon, which connects the heel bone and calf muscle

Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome—Affects the feet similarly to carpal tunnel, causing burning, tingling, and numbness that radiates through the foot and toes.

Gout—More common in men and postmenopausal women, this arthritic condition appears suddenly and causes severe pain, tenderness, and redness in the ankles and feet.

Common Types of Foot Pain

Feet can become sore and achy from extended periods of putting pressure on them such as running or standing, especially on hard surfaces or while wearing poorly fitting shoes. Another common cause of foot pain is due to improper gait due to poor posture or arthritis in the hips, knees or ankles. Foot pain that fails to resolve itself through traditional treatments may be caused by plantar fasciitis, a painful condition that involves inflammation of the fibrous band of muscles and tissue that traverse the bottom of the feet. Two other conditions previous mentioned—gout and Achilles tendonitis—are also common causes of foot pain. Regardless of the cause and location of your foot, knee and ankle pain, our chiropractor in New Albany IN can provide an array of effective treatments.
