Joint pain, such as in your knee, shoulder, ankle or wrist, can arise from a back or neck problem or can be completely independent. Common symptoms include an ache or sharp pain in one of your joints when in particular positions, stiffness in a joint after rest or when using the joint, as well as aching and tiredness in the area surrounding the joint.

Whatever the nature or cause of your joint condition, we can help you by resolving pain and improving your range of movement. Your initial assessment will be carried out by one of our qualified clinicians, who will conduct a thorough physical examination and gain a confidential understanding of your full medical history. This allows us to assess your state of health and any possible causes of your joint pain. This examination may be complemented with an on-site X-ray examination, if deemed necessary.

Chiropractors, osteopaths and physiotherapists have an in-depth knowledge of these areas and are the best equipped professionals to diagnose, treat and manage all non-surgical issues associated with the joints.

Depending on your diagnosis, your clinician will then mobilise your joints, work on your muscles and manipulate the spine and other joints in a precise yet gentle way to improve movement, relieve pain and reduce nerve irritation and muscle spasms. See our approach.

So what’s causing your joint pain?
The following parts of your anatomy are often involved in generating joint pain, but the list is not exclusive and your pain may result from a combination of factors. Once we know what is giving rise to your pain and how the anatomical structure in question has been injured, an appropriate care plan will be laid out for you.
