Frequent problems

Hip and lower back pain

Hip and lower back pain can often be linked to biomechanical problems in the feet and ankles. For example, excessive pronation (inward rolling) or supination (outward rolling) of the foot can alter the way forces are distributed throughout the body when walking or running, impacting the hip and lower back joints. In addition, muscular imbalances or structural abnormalities of the feet can contribute to poor posture, increasing pressure on adjacent joints and muscles. Hip pain can also result from conditions such as trochanteric bursitis, osteoarthritis, arthritis or muscle strains, while lower back pain can be influenced by muscle strains, herniated discs or vertebral deformities. To treat this pain effectively, it’s essential to assess the biomechanics of the foot and ankle with the help of a podiatrist. Collaboration with other healthcare professionals is often recommended for a comprehensive, integrated treatment plan.
