CONDITIONS WE TREAT
Knee & Leg Pain
Knee pain, shin splints, calf tightness, and leg pain across all ages and activity levels.
Knee pain can have a significant effect on both confidence and mobility, whether you're dealing with a young, athletic knee or an achy, arthritic one. It is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints we see, and the knee structure itself involves bones, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, muscles, and bursae, meaning there are many elements that can contribute to dysfunction.
​
Knee and leg pain can also arise from referred pain from the hip or lower back, or from overuse and biomechanical factors that have built up over time. Osteopathic assessment looks at the whole lower limb rather than just the painful area, identifying contributing factors that standard approaches often miss. Shockwave therapy is particularly effective for stubborn tendon-related knee and leg conditions.

Also, people whose knee pain keeps returning despite treatment usually have a sign that the underlying biomechanical pattern hasn't been addressed.

Your first appointment
Your osteopath will take a comprehensive case history and physical assessment to determine the cause of your knee pain.
They will educate you and work with you to correct the mechanics of your pelvis, knee, and ankle so you can move around with confidence and comfort. When improvement is limited, further imaging may be recommended.
Our osteopaths work well with podiatrists, and strong referrals between the two are actively supported at Whole Health.
