Whether you're walking, standing, or simply trying to get through your day without discomfort, pain in your legs, knees, or ankles can slow everything down. At our chiropractic clinic, we specialize in diagnosing and treating lower limb conditions by focusing on whole-body alignment and biomechanics. From sports injuries to nerve entrapments and chronic overuse, we offer personalized, hands-on care that restores function and helps you move confidently again.

What Causes Pain in the Legs, Knees, and Ankles?

Your legs, knees, and ankles are all part of an interconnected system that begins at the spine. Misalignments in the hips, pelvis, or lower back can lead to imbalances and strain further down the kinetic chain. Whether the root cause of your symptoms lies in the joints, muscles, or nerves, chiropractic care can help identify and correct the issue naturally—without medication or surgery.


  • Leg Pain

    Leg pain may result from muscular strain, joint misalignment, or nerve compression originating in the spine or pelvis. It can feel sharp, burning, achy, or even numb. Sciatic nerve irritation is a common cause of radiating leg pain, especially when linked to spinal or pelvic misalignment.


    Our chiropractic approach includes:


    • Spinal and pelvic adjustments to relieve nerve compression
    • Soft tissue therapy to reduce muscular tension and inflammation
    • Rehabilitative movements to correct posture and support long-term mobility

    We treat leg pain at the source to help you walk, stand, and move without discomfort.

  • Knee Pain

    The knee is one of the most commonly injured joints, due to its complex structure and role in supporting the body's weight. Knee pain may stem from misalignment, overuse, previous injury, or poor biomechanics in the hips and feet.


    Common issues include:


    • Runner’s knee
    • Patellar tracking problems
    • Ligament strain
    • Arthritis-related inflammation

    Chiropractic care for knee pain focuses on restoring proper joint mechanics, strengthening surrounding muscles, and ensuring the hip, knee, and foot move in sync.

  • Ankle Sprains

    Ankle sprains happen when ligaments around the ankle are stretched or torn, often due to rolling the foot inward or outward during activity. While many sprains heal with rest, improperly treated injuries can lead to chronic instability or recurring pain.


    We help patients recover faster from ankle sprains by:


    • Realigning the ankle and foot for optimal healing
    • Reducing inflammation through manual therapy
    • Strengthening surrounding muscles to prevent future sprains
    • Assessing gait to correct postural habits that may have contributed

  • Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome

    This condition involves compression of the posterior tibial nerve as it passes through the tarsal tunnel near the ankle. Symptoms include tingling, burning, or numbness in the foot and ankle, often mistaken for plantar fasciitis or nerve pain from the lower back.


    Chiropractic treatment includes:


    • Adjustments to the foot, ankle, and spine to relieve nerve pressure
    • Soft tissue release of surrounding muscles and fascia
    • Nerve mobilization techniques to improve glide and reduce symptoms

    We also explore possible upstream causes, such as spinal or pelvic misalignment, that could be contributing to nerve compression.

  • Achilles Tendonitis

    Achilles tendonitis is an overuse injury affecting the tendon that connects the calf muscles to the heel. It often results in stiffness or pain during walking, running, or standing—especially in the morning or after activity.


    Our care for Achilles tendonitis includes:


    • Reducing stress on the tendon through foot and ankle adjustments
    • Manual therapy to relieve calf tightness and support tendon healing
    • Rehabilitative exercises to gradually rebuild tendon strength and mobility
    • Proper alignment of the ankle, knee, and hip is essential for full recovery and prevention of re-injury.

  • Plantar Fasciitis

    Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It’s caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue that supports the arch of your foot. Pain is often most intense in the morning or after long periods of standing.


    Chiropractic treatment helps by:


    • Improving alignment of the foot, ankle, and spine
    • Releasing tension in the fascia and surrounding muscles
    • Providing custom stretching and strengthening routines
    • Offering advice on footwear and activity modification

    With the right care, most cases of plantar fasciitis respond well without needing injections or surgery.
