Leg Pain

We often take our legs for granted. We use them daily, but forget their importance until they become sore and daily activities, like walking, becomes difficult. 

The muscles in your legs control the motions of your foot and foot stability. Factors such as an increase in activity or a change in footwear, can put extra pressure on these muscles, causing them to become overused, inflamed and sore. This pain in your legs can be constant, recurrent or intermittent and can present in many ways - including an ache, dull or sharp pain, and tingling - and may be accompanied by swelling. It could affect your entire leg or only be present in a specific area. 

Are you experiencing pain in your legs? It often stems from exercise-related injuries such as shin splints or stress fractures, that are painful, and potentially serious conditions if not treated effectively. Talk with our podiatrists in Brisbane about different treatment options.
