Leg Pain
We treat pain in the knee, foot, and Achilles tendon
Leg pain covers a wide range of conditions affecting the knee, ankle, and foot. Problems in the lower back or pelvis can also lead to leg pain, so it is important to examine your overall movement pattern through a gait analysis.
Leg pain has many causes
Knee, ankle, and foot pain is influenced not only by local problems but also by the alignment of the lower back and pelvis and by your gait pattern.
Structural Problems
Cartilage wear, tendon damage, plantar fascia micro-tears, and more
Detectable on imaging
Functional Problems
Weakened muscles around the knee and ankle, abnormal movement patterns
Not visible on imaging
Alignment & Gait Problems
Pelvic misalignment, overpronation, unbalanced gait
Confirmed by gait analysis
Yonsei Shinmyung Pain Clinic evaluates all three causes to build a personalised treatment plan. In particular, gait analysis helps us understand how whole-body movement patterns affect your leg pain.
Main Conditions
Knee Osteoarthritis
As the knee cartilage wears down, pain and stiffness develop. Pain that is worse when going down stairs is typical.
Learn More →Patellofemoral Syndrome
The kneecap (patella) drifts off its normal track, causing pain at the front of the knee. It is common in people who run or use stairs frequently.
Learn More →Plantar Fasciitis
Repeated load on the plantar fascia of the sole causes heel pain. A sharp, stabbing pain when taking the first step in the morning is characteristic.
Learn More →Achilles Tendinitis
Repeated load builds up on the Achilles tendon, causing pain and swelling above the heel. Early treatment is important.
