Foot Pain Causing Your Back And Hip Problems

 

Foot pain is more than just a minor inconvenience; it can be the hidden cause of chronic knee, hip, and lower back pain. At Dr Abbie Clinics, we focus on treating the root cause of pain rather than just masking symptoms. Using our proprietary Najjarine Biomechanical Assessment (NBA), we can identify underlying misalignments and correct them from the ground up, restoring balance and function.

 

The Connection Between Feet and Whole-Body Health

The feet form the foundation of the body. If they are misaligned due to conditions such as overpronation (flat feet), high arches, or leg-length discrepancies, it can create a chain reaction that affects the knees, hips, and spine. Common consequences include:

Even minor imbalances, if left untreated, can worsen over time and lead to recurring pain.

 

Signs Your Foot Pain is Affecting Other Areas

Patients often dismiss foot discomfort until it begins to affect daily activities. Warning signs include:

  • Persistent heel or arch pain
  • Uneven shoe wear
  • A sensation of imbalance while walking or running
  • Knee, hip, or lower back pain without a clear cause

 

How the Najjarine Biomechanical Assessment Helps

Our NBA system provides a precise analysis of your foot and overall biomechanics. It identifies misalignments and areas of stress in the kinetic chain, allowing us to develop a personalised treatment plan. Treatment may include:

  • Custom orthotics designed for your specific foot structure
  • Targeted exercises to strengthen supporting muscles
  • Physiotherapy, chiropractic adjustment, mobilisation and adjustment techniques, or dry needling to restore movement

 

The Benefits of Early Intervention

Addressing foot pain early can prevent secondary issues and improve long-term mobility. Patients who undergo NBA assessments frequently experience:

  • Reduced chronic pain
  • Better posture and balance
  • Greater confidence in movement and daily activities

 

Conclusion

Ignoring foot pain can lead to a cascade of musculoskeletal problems. Treating the root cause ensures long-term relief, improved function, and a better quality of life.
