Foot, Ankle, Knee and Hip pain Treatment in Maidstone

---

Lower limb pain is extremely common across a variety of backgrounds and has a detriment on every step taken throughout the day. At our Maidstone clinic we see a variety of structural and non structural pain.

Structural causes may consist of but are not limited to:

• Muscular strains
• Ligament sprains
• Tendinopathy 
• Osteoarthritis or other forms of cartilage problems
• Bursitis
• Nerve disruption

Pain does not always have to be structural and there doesn't need to be physical damage to cause discomfort. A few examples we see with no structural problem:

• Overuse - too much activity too soon
• Underuse - typically sedentary roles 
• Technique in sport or daily activity - small tweaks usually improve performance and reduce discomfort 
• Muscular weakness or tightness 

There are many more lower limb pathologies and pain we see in clinic however these are some of our most common presentations. If there are structural concerns where conservative rehabilitation isn't likely to help then we have an imaging referral connection with KIMS hospital in Maidstone, where we can refer for relevant imaging or further investigation.
