You may experience knee or foot pain without remembering that you have injured it. Well, it might be coming from the joint above or below!
Our body is connected in a way that one joint may have an effect on the other if dysfunction arises and joints are not moving properly as it should.
Here is a scenario, you have a muscle spasm in your low back and you are leaning towards one side when you walk. What that ultimately does is putting more weight on one knee when you limp.
Now, muscles adapt to new movements fairly quickly. A week of limping may be enough to allow the knee muscles to work differently and puts different pressure onto the knee joint itself. As time goes by long after your back spasm recovers, you may notice that you get the occasional knee soreness and that might be because your joints and muscles are just used to move in the improper way.
Conversely, if you have a history of multiple ankle injuries and the ligaments are weaker, this may affect the way you walk and in turn, affect your pelvic alignment!
Whatever it is, having a check-up from a qualified chiropractor can help you understand your biomechanics better and improve your overall function sooner.
