Your hips, knees, and lower legs are tough—but injuries happen. Your hips and knees are your largest joints, supporting your body’s weight. They work in close coordination, giving us the mobility we need. Between arthritis, injuries and age, however, pain can flare up. If you’re experiencing hip, knee or leg pain, call us to schedule a closer look. Before you do, however, let’s examine the pain itself. What Causes Hip, Knee and Leg Pain? Hip, knee and leg pain are surprisingly common. Thus, their source can come from a variety of things. If you’re experiencing pain in any part of your leg, pinpointing the exact spot can help you determine the cause. Mayo Clinic has pinpointed several leading causes of hip, knee and leg pain. While many causes exist, the most likely are:
While leg pain is noticeable by a slew of symptoms, several stick out. Aching or stiffness around the hip, groin, back or thigh may be a sign of deeper problems. A decreased range of motion can also be a sign of deeper problems which may later result in hip, knee or leg pain. How Physical Therapy Can Help. In many cases, physical therapy can help patients increase leg mobility. In doing so, they can stretch, flex, and strengthen the muscles responsible for support. If a joint appears deformed, or if sudden swelling occurs, contact a physician immediately. A good physical therapy program can assist with post-operation treatment, too. If you’ve undergone treatment for osteoporosis, dislocation or a fracture, your therapist can help you reclaim full mobility—and a healthy lifestyle. From start to finish, we’re dedicated to your ongoing wellness. On every level, physical therapy serves to enhance the patient’s quality of life. We’re here to help, and we have years of experience backing every therapy option. Contact one of our providers today, and tell us about your symptoms.

• Tendonitis • Pinched nerves • Osteoporosis • Cancer
• Arthritis • Dislocation • Hip fracture • Sprains and strains
While some causes are more severe than others, a physician can identify each. As the body ages, joints become inflamed. Cartilage may wear down, reducing the “buffer” between bones. In some cases, limited blood flow may cause bone tissue death, or necrosis. If you’re experiencing redness, inflammation and immobilized joints, the condition may be severe.

A MOMENT WITH KRUCKEBERG
The presents are being used appropriately and the decorations are put away. Well, almost! On to the New Year and the hope of a better year. Goodness knows my family would certainly like a break from the stress of illness, injury and the passing of family. I have tried to look at the blessings I did have. These include my children successfully navigating college courses, my wife helping her mother steer through her health issues while my wife works through her own.

In addition to those blessings Publisher’s Clearinghouse as well as several psychics have implied I will be rich. All I have to do is sign up. Sure I may cost me $10 for 10 minutes or a couple of magazine subscriptions but I will be advised on just how to get all that money and name another relative to get the money when I am no longer here. I wouldn’t have to rake the leaves or the pond. The garage would be instantly cleaned and organized. What a wonderful way to start the new year.
On second thought, maybe I will just double my money by folding it and putting it back in my wallet.
of this. At least we will have something to complain about until then and something to compare the winters to come to. Just take your time and protect your back shoveling and your wrists if to fall on the ice.
This is definitely the winter that people said we have not had for a while. More snow than we have had in several winters and subzero temperatures. It makes us dream of spring and warm sun on our faces. But snap out of it and remember we still have 2 months

“I now have full passive range of motion!” “Before coming to PT, I couldn’t lift my arm due to recovering from a rotator cuff and labrum tear surgery. It is truly amazing how far I have come from PT and the support of all the staff. I now have full passive range of motion and can do things I was once not sure I would do again. I am so thankful for this PT and the people here. It was an amazing journey with lots of improvement I couldn’t have done on my own.” - Angie T.
