Hip, Knee, Foot & Ankle Conditions
Expert physical therapy for lower extremity conditions — from hip and knee pain to plantar fasciitis and ankle injuries.
Lower Extremity Rehabilitation
Your hips, knees, feet, and ankles form the foundation of your mobility. Pain or dysfunction in any of these areas affects your ability to walk, climb stairs, exercise, and perform the daily activities you depend on.
At The Back Clinic, we treat the full spectrum of lower extremity conditions — whether your pain developed gradually from arthritis or overuse, resulted from a sports injury, or is affecting you after surgery. Our one-on-one treatment approach ensures you receive the focused attention needed to diagnose the root cause and build a plan that gets you moving comfortably again.
Conditions We Treat
- Hip Pain — Bursitis, labral irritation, osteoarthritis, and muscle strain
- Knee Pain — Patellofemoral syndrome, meniscus injuries, and ligament sprains
- Arthritis-Related Joint Pain — Managing osteoarthritis symptoms through exercise and manual therapy
- IT Band Syndrome — Lateral knee pain common in runners and cyclists
- Plantar Fasciitis — Heel and arch pain that limits walking and standing
- Ankle Sprain / Achilles Pain — Acute sprains and chronic Achilles tendon problems
Our Approach
Lower extremity conditions rarely exist in isolation. Hip problems affect the knee, knee problems change ankle mechanics, and foot issues can cause hip pain. Our evaluation always considers the entire kinetic chain to identify all contributing factors.
Treatment combines hands-on manual therapy, progressive strengthening, balance training, and gait analysis to restore optimal function. For patients with arthritis or chronic conditions, we focus on long-term management strategies and building exercise programs that keep you active and independent.
Our heated therapy pool is particularly valuable for lower extremity rehabilitation — the buoyancy reduces joint stress while allowing you to exercise and walk with less pain.
