Biomechanical Evaluations for the Lower Body & Custom Orthotics in Sevenoaks
Powered by the Quadrant Analysis Method – Precision Insight for Pain-Free Movement
At Sevenoaks Chiropractic Clinic, we believe pain-free movement starts with understanding how your body functions as a whole. If you’re dealing with persistent pain, poor posture, or recurring injuries, the root cause may lie in the way your body moves and bears weight. Our Biomechanical Evaluations help us uncover the hidden causes of dysfunction – not just treat the symptoms.
What Is a Biomechanical Evaluation?
A biomechanical evaluation is an assessment of the lower body from the feet to the pelvis and lower back. We’ll assess how your joints, muscles, and nervous system interact during movement. This includes:
- Gait analysis
- Postural assessment
- Joint range of motion and alignment checks
- Muscle strength and flexibility testing
- Functional movement screens
It’s particularly useful for identifying imbalances that contribute to:
- Knee pain
- Back or hip discomfort
- Foot and ankle instability
- Recurring sports injuries
- Postural fatigue
Our biomechanics evaluations are often combined with other diagnostics as part of your wider QA-guided care plan.

It’s a great example of how pain can be complex, especially when symptoms don’t follow a clear pattern. It also highlights why looking beyond the obvious site of discomfort – and working closely with existing care providers – can make all the difference…
Custom Orthotics. Designed for You
Based on your biomechanical findings, we may recommend custom orthotics – specialist foot supports designed to:
- Correct structural misalignment
- Improve joint loading and balance
- Support recovery from injury
- Relieve foot, ankle, knee, hip, or back pain
Our custom orthotics are:
- Built using 3D scanning and gait technology
- Made from durable materials for daily use
- Tailored to your specific foot structure and activity level
We typically recommend them for patients dealing with:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Flat feet or fallen arches
- Knee instability
- Persistent lower back pain
- Leg length discrepancies
Importantly, orthotics are not a crutch – they are used alongside chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and rehab to create lasting change.
When you’re struggling with chronic pain, finding lasting relief can seem like an impossible goal. Fortunately, the combination of chiropractic care, dry needling, and Quadrant Analysis creates a powerful treatment triad that addresses pain at its source…
Real Case Example: Hip Pain Solved by Foot Correction
A patient with long-standing hip discomfort saw multiple practitioners without relief. Through QA and biomechanics testing, we discovered their foot mechanics were subtly faulty: overpronation was triggering imbalances all the way to the hip.
After a course of chiropractic treatment and the use of custom orthotics, their pain reduced dramatically, and normal activity resumed. It’s a clear example of how ground-up care can unlock long-term results.
