Can a chiropractor see the way I walk to diagnose the cause of a limp ? GP and hospital find nothing obvious.?

Physical therapists are experts in the analysis of gait.  Gait is basically the mechanics of your walking pattern.  Abnormal walking patterns, limping, etc can be quite complicated at times.  They can be from unequal leg lengths, bony/structural deformities, poor flexibility and/or strength, foot/ankle issues, poor posture, bad habits as well as issues with the cervical spine (neck), the ear, etc.  As you can see problems with walking and the mechanics of your walking pattern and a Physical Therapist (PT) would be the best one to evaluate this for you.  A PT would then be able to develop a treatment plan to address any findings that were found during your examination.

Return to the hospital,\n they may  need , to re-x- ray your ankle ,\n it is possible a small  fracture, has been missed .\n\n Or you could have, an Achilles tendon injury  ( very painful ) \n that also and may  not  show up on the x-ray , at first .\n\n Do not weight -bear on it ,until you have had the doctors O.K \n\n pain and muscle spasms are warning signs,\n and should not be ignored \n\n I like the way you are being looked after hand and foot ,  \n that is great ;)\n That is good ! LOL!\n\n :( pain is not :((\n\n I hope you heal up very soon \n\n>^,,^<

Try seeing a Orthopedic or Neuro MD

I would guess it might be the way you're running, i.e., imbalanced and you don't realize it. Sounds strange but ask someone to watch you run to see if they can pick up on anything. My second idea would be to see a chiroprator to see if your spine is ok. However, I would advise you to see one that is recomended by someone you know and trust. Otherwise you will waste your time.

Have you been working out or walking a lot more. It could be that you have strained your muscles or something. If it lasts to long call the doc.

Never heard of anything like this in my practice before.  If you haven't already, see your OB.  If he/she doesn't know what it is then see a spine specialist.  Good luck.

Ouch. Poor baby, that must have hurt. I would say you should try to sleep as best you can and see how you are in the morning. If it still hurts you might should go get it looked at, either by a chiropractor or an MD.

I fully agree with Dj.  \n\nMake sure you write down what the pain feels like (stabbing, dull, sharp, pulling), what level it is (1-10), and when it occurs (going up stairs, only when you jog, only in certain shoes).  This will prepare you to answer the doctor's questions and will give him a better idea of what is going on.  : )

If the chiropractor has not been helping she may need to seek treatment elsewhere.  Chiropractors have helped a lot of people, but so can massage therapists, physical therapists, and alternative treatments like acupuncture.  She should talk to an orthopedic doctor about her options.

It sounds like sciatica and you may need an injection from the doctor and some physio. The GP will also offer you some anti-inflammatory tablets for pain relief.

I get my chiropractor to do it.  Make sure that's what you actually did though, I knew a girl, thought she put her hip out and really she gave herself a stress fracture.  Call your doctor.

Neurologist specialize in treating disorders of the nerves. Your orthopedic doctor specializes in treating disorders of bones and joints. Your ortho doc cannot find any clear cut reason for your ongoing symptoms. He is probably hoping that the neurologist can find something he missed. \nBe very thankful that you do not have any bulging discs. Some neurologists are very good at diagnosing and treating pain phenomena. They can perform never blocks to provide long term non-narcotic pain relief of some types of nerve pain and are better at prescribing medicine for nerve pain than most other doctors. ~~Gary RN

Hi Ash.  Please consider seeing your family Chiropractor.  You may have a spinal subluxation, a rib fixation, myofascial triggerpoints, a hiatal hernia, or lots of other things that Chiropractors are able to diagnose and correct.\n\nBest wishes and good luck.

Go to an osteopathic physician (one that specializes in Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy). They should be able to take care of the problem.\n\nPlus, if your pain is caused by a disease or problem elsewhere in your body, an osteopath would be able to identify it, whereas a chiropractor lacks the additional medical knowledge (plus they can't write prescriptions if necessary).

my friend had heart surgery and that happened to her due to an infection 2wks after her surgery.  Or it could be a brisk movement has torn stiches, either way have it checked out asap.
