Experiencing ankle, knee, hip, or low back pain during lifting, or during regular daily activities like walking? If so, Osteo can help!

Working with the foot and ankle to restore mobility and function is an important area of focus for many Osteopathic Practitioners.

Studies have shown that reduced ankle mobility can lead to a change in biomechanics resulting in patella tendinopathy of the knee, and can even affect balance and increase the risk of a fall or injury.

Manipulation, along with mobility exercises can be very helpful to restore mobility and function!
