Leg, Knee, Ankle or Foot Pain
Leg pain and foot pain can be a nuisance and more debilitating than they sound. Pain, discomfort or injury in the legs or feet can restrict movement, prevent exercise and impede on normal routines and habits.
Are you suffering from leg, knee, ankle or foot pain?
Legs, knees, ankles, feet and toes are all best kept in good, strong working order. It is when injury strikes that patients realise how very inconvenient and in some cases, painful these types of conditions are.
A large majority of the conditions in this area of the body tend to stem from sporting injuries. Alternatively they can be a secondary condition from another part of a back complaint, such as sciatica for example.
Leg, knee, ankle or foot pain can be a lot more debilitating than they all seem. Pain and discomfort in the lower limbs and foot area can restrict movement, prevent regular and pain free exercise and generally impede on normal routines and habits.

Advice from Leslie
“Pain can sometimes present years after the initial injury and knees are a particular culprit of this. Old football injuries or excessive wear and tear from high levels of sport in younger years can come back later on in life and cause problems. I usually begin a course of treatment by suggesting thorough investigation and sometimes refer on for scans to get a detailed picture of the condition.”
