Leg, Hip and Knee Pain & Injury


Does this describe your pain?

  • Muscle spasms in the your leg or hip
  • Sudden, severe pain followed by weeks of lesser pain and soreness
  • Episodic pain that seems triggered by certain activities, and helped by other activities
  • Pain that radiates from your buttocks to the back of your leg and as far down as your foot
  • Localized hotness or tenderness in back, groin, or on the inside or outside of your hip
  • Pain that’s worse in the morning or after sitting, better after you walk around for awhile
  • Achy, dull pain that doesn’t get better when you lie down or rest your leg

Is your pain:

  • Localized to a particular part of your back, or all over
  • Chronic, just when you move, when you don’t move, or random
  • Better or worse when you lie down, walk around, etc.
  • Acute and debilitating, “gets in the way”, or “I can live with it, but…”
  • Only present with specific activities like lifting weights, standing, etc.

Your answer will tell us a lot about where the pain is coming from, how to treat it, and what kind of side effects it may be causing when you try to compensate for it.

What causes most leg, hip & knee pain?

People may experience lower back, hip, leg, and knee pain due to:

  • Accident, injury or misuse and overexertion
  • Sprains and strains
  • Excess weight
  • Skeletal misalignments
  • Inflammation or nerve pain related to other health issues
  • Pain referred to the leg, hip or knee which actually originates in the back

Which leg, hip & knee pain diagnoses are most common?

Acute or aching pain, stiffness, numbness, tingling, localized soreness and inflammation in the lower back, hip, and knee often result from these diagnoses:

  • Sprains, strains, bursitis and tendonitis
  • Chondromalacia, softening of the knee’s cartilage
  • Iliotibial band syndrome and runner’s knee
  • Piriformis syndrome
  • Plica syndrome (irritation or inflammation or synovial tissue)
  • Referred pain caused by spinal compression, spinal stenosis, slipped discs, and pinched nerves including sciatica
  • Chronic health issues like fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis

How can I treat my pain myself?

If pain isn’t severe, it usually makes sense to try self-care strategies for a week or so. Then, if you still don’t feel better, call us to see a pain specialist so you can get a diagnosis of what’s actually wrong, and a treatment plan to get you back on the path to feeling good.

Leg, hip, and knee pain may improve with gentle activity. Heat and over-the-counter anti-inflammatories and topical analgesics may relieve pain as well.

How can Randolph Pain Relief & Wellness treat my pain?

Our staff is experienced with numerous techniques fore alleviating spine and lower back pain, including:

  • Spinal decompression through chiropractic manipulation to reduce pressure on nerves that transmit the pain
  • Physical therapy including assisted mobilization, heat, and cryotherapy / cold therapy to restore normal movement and relieve pain caused by inflammation
  • Acupuncture and acupressure to alleviate pain and stress in the affected area(s)
  • Medical massage to help muscles in and around the affected area relax and avoid re-tensing up around the injury — which may affect gait, balance and recovery
  • Non-pharma, non-surgical and minimally invasive techniques such as RF ablation, which can permanently address even the most serious pain

Our integrated team of pain specialists can help create an approach that works for you and gets you back to normal as quickly as possible, whether it’s post-surgical recovery, rehabbing from a sports injury, or just trying to feel better after a hard day raking leaves.

Do you already know your diagnosis and the kind of treatment you need?

Just schedule a prompt appointment with the appropriate specialty. Our team includes experienced, licensed specialists in chiropractic care, physical therapy, acupuncture, and massage.
