Hip, Knee, Ankle and Foot Pain Treatment
You can have problems with your hips, knees, ankles, or feet on their own, or find that problems with these joints affect each other. Pain might come from injury, lack of activity, or wear and tear. Uneven use of your body from work tasks or habits like standing on one leg can also cause problems.
Sometimes leg and ankle pain relates to how your body developed. Having one leg longer than the other, flat feet, high arches, or hypermobility can all cause issues.
We perform detailed assessments that look at how your legs and feet work together. We’ll give you a clear diagnosis, treatment plan, and rehabilitation programme.

What your pain feels like
Pain varies depending on which joint or muscle is affected. Because your legs bear weight, you’ll often have trouble moving normally as putting weight through sore areas hurts. Swelling, redness, stiffness, and weakness are common with leg and ankle problems.
How We Treat Hip, Knee, Ankle and Foot Pain
We start by assessing what’s causing your pain using standard tests to check your joint movement and give you a diagnosis. Sometimes we may refer you for further tests or scans.
Our osteopathic treatment includes soft tissue massage to ease tight muscles and joint techniques to restore normal movement. Depending on your injury, we might use dry needling to improve blood flow and healing.
We’ll prescribe specific exercises to help your recovery and prevent the problem returning. Our osteopaths focus on treating the whole leg and foot as a unit, not just the painful area.

I first saw Duncan, two years ago, when I had a very painful shoulder and had to work at an event where I would be using my arms and shoulders all the time. Duncan treated me and managed to get me through the event which was nothing short of a miracle. Since then both my father and my brother-in-law have also become patients of Duncan and found his services to be exceptional. Duncan is both friendly and entirely professional and I would be happy to recommend his services to anyone.
I had two sessions with Duncan which were incredibly beneficial and helped to ease my lower back pain. I found Duncan to be professional and informative and you can tell he really cares about what he practices. I highly recommend his practice for anybody who’s experiencing pain!
I was suffering with a combination of shoulder, back and knee issues which Duncan got to grips with, alleviating the discomfort and leaving me feeling reinvigorated and refreshed. I’d definitely recommend giving him a go. I found the treatment more effective than some acupuncture and physiotherapy i’d had in the past.
