What Vancouver Orthotic Clinics Wants You to Know about Your Knees and Your Knee Pain
Knee pain has many possible origins, and what they all have in common is the debilitating and annoying discomfort they cause. Knee pain is a common complaint that affects people of all ages and stems from their activity, an injury, or a medical condition such as arthritis, gout and infections.
- Your knee pain may have been caused by a traumatic injury or other common sources such as arthritis and years of acute strain, repetitive irritation and lack of biomechanical shock absorption from the feet. This can add up to a “worn and torn” knee joint.
- Prevention if possible, is best but you can treat symptoms yourself to start with ice/heat, massage, acupuncture, chiropractic mobilizations, and custom orthotic therapy which we will touch on later. All provide temporary relief.
- Your knee is one of the weight bearing joints, and a hinge joint at that, separated by a shock-absorbing meniscus and stabilized by strong ligaments. As a result, it is affected by every step you take.
We tend to see poor shock-absorption through the feet as often being the culprit of non-traumatic knee stiffness and discomfort. With our experience and expertise in proper foot biomechanics and alignment we see that many problems involving the knee can start, ‘ground up’.
A foot exam to discover potential causes of knee pain leads to a proper diagnosis.
One of the recommendations to look after knee pain now and to avoid future suffering may include custom orthotics. They prevent breakdown and treat knee pain. Orthotic insert slip into your favourite every day or sport shoes may go a long way to avoid unnecessary wear and tear.
Tips on pinched nerve pain from the Vancouver Orthotic Clinics and how to get relief from it:
Pinched nerve pain can strike in different areas of the body such as wrists (carpal tunnel syndrome), elbow, lower back, neck or upper middle back. Essentially a pinched nerve is a compressed nerve and the pain comes when too much pressure is applied to a nerve by surrounding tissues, such as bones, cartilage, muscles or tendons. The pressure may cause pain, numbness, tingling sensations or weakness.
It can’t be stressed enough that a Pinched Nerve is a more common occurrence than most people expect. When you feel that neck or back pain, there is a good chance that one of your spinal nerves is being irritated by spinal fixation or misalignment. Other symptoms beyond the everyday episodes of neck and back pain you may endure, might feel include headaches and sciatica but so are every day episodes of neck and back pain too
At Vancouver Orthotic Clinics our team believes good posture starts from the ‘ground up’. Better posture and chiropractic attention or proper balance and support from proper foot orthotics can offer both prevention and relief. The alignment and shock absorption help your body to a better balance.
We’d like you to consider having your feet examined at one of our clinics. We offer diagnosis and treatment and often recommend custom orthotics to fit into your favorite shoes.
All patients start off with the consultation postural foot and spine exam. Ultimately, this leads to both a diagnosis and a treatment plan. We use the newest 3D Gate Scan technology and we can recommend a variety of options to keep you moving well and pain free.
Early detection and prevention can help keep the fires of pain and discomfort from taking over.
