Understanding your symptoms
Lower-limb pain can involve joints, muscles, tendons, nerves or referred symptoms.
Pain or stiffness around the hip, knee, ankle or foot may follow a change in activity, an injury, repeated loading or a longer-term joint or tendon problem. Symptoms can also be influenced by the lower back or another part of the movement chain. An assessment helps identify likely contributors, screen for conditions that need medical review and choose practical next steps.

Symptoms with stairs, squatting, kneeling, standing, walking or a change in activity.
Ankle or foot pain
Pain during standing, walking or loading that affects balance, footwear or daily activity.
Reduced movement

Your initial appointment
Assessment, explanation and treatment in one visit.
Treatment is included in every initial consultation after the assessment, when clinically appropriate and with your consent.
History
We discuss when symptoms began, recent activity changes, injuries, walking or work demands, footwear, previous care and your goals.
Assessment
The examination may include hip, knee, ankle and foot movement, strength, balance, gait, functional tasks and relevant spinal or neurological tests.
Explanation
Dr Kevin explains the findings, likely contributors, care options and whether medical review, imaging or another referral should be considered.
Treatment
Treatment is included at the initial consultation after assessment. It may include mobilisation, manipulation, soft tissue therapy and guided exercise when appropriate and with your consent.
Individualised care
Care may combine hands-on treatment, load guidance and rehabilitation.
Depending on the assessment, management may include joint mobilisation, manipulation when appropriate, soft tissue therapy, movement advice and progressive strengthening or balance exercise. Radial shockwave therapy may be considered for selected tendon-related presentations after assessment.
No single treatment suits every hip, knee or foot problem. Recommendations are adapted to the examination, your preferences, response to care and any need for medical referral.

Meet Dr Kevin ParkFrequently asked questions
Questions about hip, knee and foot pain appointments.
Does Dr Kevin Park assess hip, knee and foot pain?+
Yes. Dr Kevin assesses lower-limb pain, stiffness and movement concerns, including whether symptoms may also involve the lower back or nervous system.
Can hip or leg pain come from the lower back?+
Sometimes. Lower-back or nerve-related conditions can refer pain or altered sensation into the hip or leg. The assessment considers the painful area as well as relevant spinal and neurological findings.
Can chiropractic care help knee or foot pain?+
Appropriate care depends on the cause. After assessment, management may include joint mobilisation, soft tissue therapy, movement advice and exercise, or referral when another service is more suitable.
Is shockwave therapy used for lower-limb pain?+
Radial shockwave therapy may be considered for selected tendon-related presentations. It is not suitable for every cause of hip, knee or foot pain and is only recommended after assessment.
Will I need an X-ray, ultrasound or MRI?+
Imaging is not automatically required. Dr Kevin will consider the history and examination and explain if medical review or imaging may change management.

Yes. Every initial consultation includes treatment after the history and physical assessment, when clinically appropriate and with your consent.
