Lower Extremity Care

Suffering from foot pain, ankle pain, or knee pain in Suwanee, GA? We all use our feet, ankles, and knees constantly. In fact, the joints in these areas are among the most mobile and most heavily used in our bodies. This sets the stage for a wide range of potential injuries and sources of pain. The stability and function of our feet, ankles and knees are therefore considered the “foundation” of our health. Pain and injury in these areas can be caused by a variety of factors, including overuse from the daily routine of work, a car accident, athletic competition, ill-fitting shoes, and even old age. Whether immediate or gradual, pain and discomfort indicate damage or irritation to muscles, bones, or nerves.

You may even be experiencing pain in your hips, pelvis, and spine because your feet, the base of your body, are off balance. An imbalance with your feet will cause rotation of the knees, pelvis, and hips, ultimately affecting spinal stability. Such rotation and tilt prevent these structures from being able to move and function optimally, causing wear and tear that eventually leads to its own problems.

Due to the individual complexity of the feet, ankles, and knees, it is important that you see someone who is specifically trained in these areas. Dr. Michael Hwang has used his experience to successfully treat thousands of patients with foot, ankle and knee pain. He has become known in the local medical community as the expert for fast, effective and lasting relief when all other methods have failed! He combines his knowledge and understanding of each structure and his training in the treatment of sprained ligaments, damaged tendons, and injured muscles to restore and maintain your body in optimal health!

What you can expect at our Foot-Ankle-Knee Clinic

¿Do you suffer from pain in Suwanee GA ? Our chiropractor will use a detailed and complete approach to figure out what is causing your pain.  Pain perceived in the foot, ankle, and/or knee requires us to examine all related anatomical components, including the low back, pelvis, and hip. The state of your foot, ankle, and knee have a direct influence on the structural integrity of your low back, pelvis, and hip. Pain can be referred from these other structures in certain conditions, and they may also be treated in order to maximize the best long-term outcome.

We will conduct a comprehensive medical history, physical examination, and x-ray analysis in order to reach an accurate diagnosis of your condition. Our goal is to get to the root cause of your pain and symptoms; not just give you temporary relief.

Chiropractic treatment for your foot, ankle, and knee pain

In most cases where pain is perceived, there is some degree of inflammation and spasm present. Inflammation is more severe if the pain is caused by sudden trauma, such as a sports injury or a fall. Ice application may be implemented to reduce the inflammation and spasm. As part of the first stage of your care, your treatment protocol may include soft-tissue therapy, such as ultrasound, Class IV Laser, and electric muscle stimulation. These therapies are effective in reducing inflammation, reducing pain, reducing adhesions, and soft-tissue regeneration.

Your Suwanee chiropractor will perform very specific manipulation and mobilization of the joint and related surrounding structures to improve movement and function, thereby reducing pain. At Sugarloaf Pain & Rehab, your doctors are further trained in advanced soft-tissue therapies including, Active Release Technique (ART) and Trigenics. These therapeutic techniques are proven to quickly and effectively eliminate scar tissue while also reprogramming the communication between your brain and the affected body region to quickly relieve pain and increase muscular performance.

If your foot pain, ankle pain, and (or) knee pain is a chronic issue rather than a result of sudden trauma, these advanced therapies are especially suitable for treating your condition. Long-term conditions and pain is in part due to the accumulation of scar tissue that’s been restricting the musculoskeletal structures, which in turn aggravate all the related structures and create more issues and pain.

Common Causes of Lower Extremity Conditions:

Trauma

Overuse

Nerve Compression in low back, hip, and thigh

Referred pain from low back and hip

Biomechanical dysfunction
