Don't Let Leg Pain Slow You Down
Our legs carry us through life, whether we're walking to the dairy, running a marathon, or playing with our kids. So when leg pain strikes, it brings your momentum to a halt. The pain can be a deep muscular ache, a sharp shooting sensation, or a persistent throb, but whatever its nature, it’s a clear sign that something is wrong.
Ignoring leg pain can lead to chronic issues and prevent you from enjoying the activities you love. At Velca, we get to the source of the problem to restore your movement, relieve your pain, and get you back on your feet.
What's Causing Your Leg Pain?
Leg pain can originate from muscles, nerves, tendons, or joints, and sometimes it can even be referred from your lower back. Common causes include:
Muscle Strains: Overstretching or tearing of the hamstring, quadriceps, or calf muscles, often during sport or sudden movements.
Tendon Injuries: Inflammation or degeneration of tendons, such as Achilles Tendinopathy or Patellar (knee) Tendinopathy.
Nerve-Related Pain (Sciatica): A sharp, shooting pain, numbness, or tingling that travels from your lower back down your leg, caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve.
Shin Splints: Pain along the front of the shin bone, common in runners and caused by repetitive stress on the muscles and bone tissue.
Referred Pain: Aches and pains felt in the leg that are actually caused by an issue in the lower back or hip joint.
How We Can Help Provide Relief
A successful recovery depends on an accurate diagnosis. We don't just treat the sore spot; we identify the underlying biomechanical issue or imbalance that led to the injury.
Comprehensive Diagnosis: We perform a thorough assessment of your movement, strength, and mechanics to pinpoint the exact source of your pain.
Hands-On Treatment: We use techniques like soft tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and joint mobilisation to relieve pain, reduce muscle tension, and improve mobility.
Targeted Rehabilitation: Your treatment plan will include a customised exercise program to strengthen weak muscles, improve flexibility, and correct any movement patterns that are contributing to the strain.
Prevention and Education: We teach you how to manage your activity levels,.
