Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain is a common concern for many Australians, disrupting daily life and limiting mobility. While often linked to poor posture or spinal issues, the cause of lower back pain may originate in the lower limbs. At Leading Health Podiatry, we help identify and manage lower back pain caused by factors like limb length differences and biomechanical imbalances.

How Limb Length Differences Contribute to Lower Back Pain

The alignment of your legs and feet plays a significant role in maintaining proper posture. When one leg is shorter than the other—known as a limb length discrepancy—it can create uneven stress on the pelvis, resulting in strain on the lower back. Over time, this imbalance can lead to chronic lower back pain.

Accurate Assessment at Leading Health Podiatry

At Leading Health Podiatry, we conduct thorough assessments to determine if limb length differences or lower limb imbalances are contributing to your lower back pain. Through gait analysis and physical evaluations, we identify the root cause of your discomfort and develop a personalised treatment plan.

Custom Orthotics to Alleviate Lower Back Pain

Custom orthotics can restore balance and alignment for individuals with limb length discrepancies. These tailored inserts support your feet and correct imbalances, helping to reduce strain on the lower back. By improving posture and body mechanics, orthotics can relieve lower back pain.

Additional Causes of Lower Back Pain

Issues such as flat feet, overpronation, or improper footwear can also impact posture and lead to lower back pain. At Leading Health Podiatry, we provide solutions such as targeted exercises, footwear advice, and custom insoles to address these factors effectively.

Leaving lower back pain unaddressed can lead to long-term problems, including joint stress and chronic discomfort. Early diagnosis and treatment at Leading Health Podiatry can prevent these complications, helping you regain mobility and comfort.
