CHIROPODIST 728 Burloak Drive 905-632-1414 Q: A: I'd like to start a new fitness routine, but I find my knees and feet tend to hurt with increased activity. Is there something that can be done for the pain? Becoming more active and fit is generally always good for your health. Pain however, isn't. There are many possible reasons for your pain, including alignment issues stemming from the foot, joint issues such as ar thritis or even possibly an old trauma to the area. Treatment for pain in the limbs when active can range from modifying the type of activity to realigning your walking style. Issues at the knee ver y commonly star t at the foot level and can travel all the way up to the back. Custom made foot inser ts, also known as or thotics, will realign your walking pattern and redistribute high pressure areas so as not to stress the various joints (ankles, knees, hips, back) throughout the lower limb. If pain is a cause of concern, your Chiropodist can provide you with a thorough lower leg assessment, specific shoe recommendations for your foot-type and individual treatment plans to help alleviate your pain.
