Pain in the knee can severely restrict our activity level and prevent us participating in anything involving much movement. We find ourselves declining walks and looking to avoid stairs as it hurts to climb them. We understand how common a condition this is but what a major effect it can have even from a young age.
Our Podiatrists will look at what the condition is and what the underlying causes are. Once we know this we can work to cure the pain and prevent it recurring.
Knee pathology is frequently a secondary symptom of poor foot mechanics and kinetic chain misalignment. As a specialist centre for Orthotics in Birmingham, we provide Phits 3D-printed orthoses that stabilise the foundation of your gait to reduce rotational stress on the knee joint. These bespoke devices ensure the entire lower limb operates with greater efficiency and less structural strain.
Ensuring the feet are free from cutaneous discomfort or nail issues is essential for maintaining a natural, pain-free stride. Engaging in routine podiatry chiropody prevents the development of minor ailments that might otherwise force compensatory movements and exacerbate knee strain. Consistent professional care is a vital component of a proactive strategy for preserving long-term mobility.
For persistent knee discomfort related to tendon issues or ligamentous strain, advanced acoustic wave technology offers a sophisticated non-invasive solution. We employ shockwave therapy to stimulate natural biological repair processes and reduce chronic inflammation within the connective tissues surrounding the joint. This clinical approach is particularly effective for patients seeking to avoid more invasive surgical options.
