Lower Extremity Pain
Lower extremity problems can be chronic or acute. Pain can come from an injury, wear & tear, and overuse. Compensatory problems, weak cores, weak hips, circulation issues, and nerve compression can also be causes of lower extremity problems. Chronic hip and knee pain can interfere with your daily activities and walking ability. In some situations, you may not be able to work or continue your lifestyle. At Hilltop Physical Therapy, we offer a safer and more permanent solution than medicine or surgery.
If your pain feels severe, a torn tendon, ligament, or even a fracture may be a cause. Your doctor may inject a cortisone shot into the inflamed area or you may need surgery to repair the damage. Preoperative exercises, or pain control methods can help to get there. Even if the doctor determines that you are not a surgical candidate, if you are still having moderate or severe pain, you can trust Hilltop Physical therapists to get you walking again.
