Foot, Ankle, Leg, Knee & Hip Pain
Many people choose to see a podiatrist because they have pain in their lower limbs. This includes pain in the toe, foot, ankle, knee, leg and hips.
Why is it important to see a Podiatrist?
Aching legs and feet are often a sign of underlying poor foot posture, instability or muscle weakness. These complications can be intensified by spending long hours on your feet or wearing poorly fitted footwear. Without treatment, serious damage can occur including toe deformities, arthritis, knee wear and tear, chronic back pain, fallen arches and heel pain.
Our highly trained podiatrists are skilled in the diagnosis and management of lower limb conditions and injuries. During a detailed Biomechanical Assessment we use Static and Dynamic Gait Analysis techniques to carefully assess how your muscles and joints work together when you stand, walk and run. This provides important information which helps us to determine the underlying cause of pain. Once the cause is established we focus on evidence based treatment options to get you back on your feet as soon as possible.
