Hip pain is an extremely common occurrence and one that is caused by a variety of factors including injury, poor posture and/or muscular imbalance and stress. An examination will help to provide the appropriate information for diagnosis.

A very common issue among those who suffer from hip and lower back pain. Dysfunction, either weakness or restriction of the hip flexor (iliopsoas and TFL) will lead to faulty motion of the hip, pelvis, and lower back.

Sciatica, also known as, piriformis syndrome, is the name for pain patterns caused by direct irritation of the sciatic nerve—most notably in the back of the thigh and leg. The sciatic nerve is most often irritated by the piriformis muscle, a hip muscle that exits the pelvis through the same opening as the sciatic nerve.

Sciatica usually occurs due to prolonged sitting and is exacerbated by poor posture. Practicing good postures can help to reduce the risk of the piriformis muscle causing sciatica.

Another condition that causes sciatic-type symptoms is spinal nerve root impingement. This condition is also known as lumbar radiculopathy and can present with pain patterns mirroring sciatica. However, true sciatica is direct impingement of the sciatic nerve in the gluteal region.

Knee pain is an extremely common occurrence and one that is caused by a variety of factors including injury, poor mechanics and/or muscular imbalance and stress. An examination will help to provide the appropriate information for diagnosis.

Generally more common among athletes, a sprained ankle (rolled ankle), is an injury to the muscles and tendons of the foot and ankle.

Foot pain is an extremely common occurrence and one that is caused by a variety of factors including injury, altered gait, poor mechanics and/or muscular imbalance and stress. An examination will help to provide the appropriate information for diagnosis.
