Back & Hip Pain

The Back, Hips & Pelvis function together with your Feet & Ankles. If you are having Back or Hip pain, a Podiatry Consultation & Biomechanical Assessment might be indicated.

Back Pain

Back Pain is the most common Musculoskeletal complaint at GP surgeries. The spine and general posture can be interlinked with Foot & Lower Limb function.

Lower Back Pain is often caused by Lower Limb or Foot dysfunction such as poor shock absorption at the heel strikes the ground, triggering pain travelling up into your pelvis and spine. Differences in leg length can also often cause Back Pain.

Hip Pain

The Hip is a ball and socket joint that fits into your pelvis. This can be a common area of ‘Wear & Repair' in the body. Most people will experience some Hip Pain throughout the course of their life whether it is joint, bone or soft tissue related.

Causes of Hip Pain are many and varied. One common cause is leg length in-equalities (one leg longer than the other) which can lead to one hip bearing more weight as we walk and run. A combination of pain history, Biomechanical Examination and OptoGait™ Analysis can help our Podiatrists identify the cause of your Hip Pain symptoms.

Great service from Jack Boulter at Northernhay Clinic. My ankle and knee problems have been corrected quickly and easily with a set of custom insoles following an initial examination. I should have made my appointment months earlier! Highly recommended for anyone with pain in the feet, ankles or knees. A practical, drug free solution.

I am so impressed with the service I received from Northernhay Clinic. Jack was very approachable and took time to explain the treatment that he offered. He was happy to answer any questions in a friendly and professional manner. The custom made foot orthoses are fantastic! They are so comfortable and have helped my back, hip and foot issues. They really are a game changer! I would highly recommend Northernhay Clinic.
Thank you Jack!

Excellent attitude and service. It has taken me from virtually unable to walk, back to walking almost pain free. Professional setup, with quality up to date equipment in a small personal clinic. Easy parking nearby too. Thoroughly satisfied with my service from them.

Professional, friendly and effective. I had close to 2 years of tendonitis and bursitis following a major knee operation, even standing was often painful. My GP was useless and I was gaining weight and becoming slightly depressed. I saw Jack Boulter at the Northernhay Clinic who made a comprehensive assessment and analysis and offered a few options for treatment. After only a few sessions I am finally pain free again and able to get back to all the activities and sports I love. Great service, highly recommended.

I recommend a visit to the Northernhay Clinic if you have an ankle problem. The pre-assessment submission is thorough and wide-ranging so that the initial briefing is well informed. The treadmill and computerised analysis of walking patterns was revealing and the custom-made orthoses are comfortable and effectively amend walking habits. Jack is informative, welcoming and very efficient and knowledgeable.
