What Is The Most Common Lower Extremity Condition
Knee discomfort is the most common lower limb complaint. Hip discomfort and ankle and foot discomfort are also common. Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and heel spurs are some of the most common foot and ankle conditions we care for.
The lower limb has the strongest muscles and ligaments in your body. As strong and resilient as they are, they can get injured and cause discomfort. Chiropractic Specialty Center® is a non-surgical joint and sports injury care center in Malaysia. We have cared for over 20,000 patients in the last 15 years. Let our experienced clinical teams help you recover from joint discomfort and sports injuries today.
Key Takeaways for Lower Extremity Care
1. Lower extremity problems often start at the feet or hips
Issues in your foot alignment, arch, or hip stability can affect how your knees or ankles feel and function. Identifying the root cause is key — and often overlooked in routine checkups.
2. Safe, non-invasive care is available
You don’t need surgery to manage many lower limb issues. Chiropractic, physiotherapy, and targeted rehabilitation can help restore function without medication or invasive procedures.
3. Don’t wait until it worsens
Delaying care may lead to joint stress, gait imbalance, or reduced mobility. The earlier you understand and address your condition, the better your chances of restoring function and preventing chronic issues.

How Common Is Knee Discomfort Or Knee Injury?
Approximately 25% of the population suffers from some form of a knee problem. Knee discomfort occurs from injuries or wear and tear. Here is a list of common causes of knee discomfort:
- Worn-out cartilage, as seen in chondromalacia patella or chondral defects
- Inflammation of one of the four knee bursae (bursitis)
- Torn meniscus (medial meniscus tears or lateral meniscus tears)
- Tear or degenerative changes within the two major knee muscles (hamstrings and quadriceps)
- Tears or degenerative changes within the four major ligaments of the knee ( ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL)
- Torn or damaged cartilage, as in chondromalacia patella and chondral defects
- Damage or Oedema (swelling inside bones) to the four knee bones (femur, tibia, fibula, and patella)
