Combining a biomechanical analysis of your lower limbs, helping to maintain optimal foot, ankle and lower limb function to repair and prevent injuries.
Sports Podiatry is concerned with all sport and overuse injuries and conditions of the lower limb and foot. Treatment may consist of Gait Analysis, Diagnostic Ultrasound, Rehabilitation Programs, Shockwave Therapy and Orthotic Therapy. More invasive procedures such as Steroid Injection Therapy and Injections for arthritic conditions are also offered as well as local anesthesia for painless treatments.
Sports podiatry can help with a range of issues, not necessarily all foot-related. This is because the way we walk or run can cause injury in other parts of the body. You might benefit from seeing a sports podiatrist if you have:
- Pain in your foot and toes
- Ankle instability and pain
- Planta heel pain
- Knee pain
- Hip pain
- Achillies and calf pain
- Leg and shin pain
