It therefore can provide an endless list of disorders and problems as well as compensating and contributing to others.<\/p>\r\n Here is a basic list of common foot and lower limb complaints and disorders:<\/p>\r\n No single treatment works for everyone. This makes it important to see an experienced Podiatrist for diagnosis and management of your foot pain[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=\"Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Pain\" tab_id=\"condition2\"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\r\n Heel pain in the morning? It could be Plantar Fasciitis. This is an inflammation and change of the thick fibrous band of tissue which runs from the heel to the base of the toes. When placed under too much stress, the plantar fascia stretches too far and tears. It is an overuse injury commonly caused by excessive pronation (flat feet), rigid feet (high arched feet), poor foot biomechanics, poor footwear, muscle tightness, muscle weakness and degenerative changes from years of use and other changes to our body with age.<\/p>\r\n Taping with the low dye method helps support the fascia allowing sufferers to walk without pain. This is an effective short term solution to the problem. We will typically combine the use of several rapid, short strategies in early care of heel pain. Shockwave treatment can be considered within these treatments, along with medication to manage symptoms.<\/p>\r\n For a long-term solution, orthotics are often prescribed along with stretching and strengthening.<\/p>\r\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=\"Running Injuries\" tab_id=\"condition3\"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Running on its own or as part of sport can result in a range of conditions. These include calf injuries, achilles tendonitis, shin splints, knee and ITB pain and general heel, foot and ankle pain. The lower limb shape and complex function will frequently lead to higher area problems such as knee, hip and lower back. We are uniquely qualified, experienced and equipped to assess features and variations and their implications on your running gait. We take a biomechanical approach to the problem and the solution.<\/p>\r\n Our 3D Run Lab assessment is thorough and includes a detailed gait analysis particularly relevant for athletes involved in running type sport. The system caters for both elite and everyday runners. Using this assessment, we can develop a strategy with you to manage your injuries and to improve your performance. Management can include technique, posture, footwear advice, orthotics, taping, bracing, padding. Training advice is critical to recovery.<\/p>\r\n We also conduct assessments of pain-free but unusual walking and running styles, providing ethical and evidenced based assessment, advice, and reassurance.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=\"Kids Foot Pain\" tab_id=\"condition4\"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\r\n Healthy, happy feet allow a child to engage in a fun and active life. The early years of development set the foundation for adult feet, so it is smart to start foot care early. Our experience with children\u2019s foot problems includes foot and leg aches, pain following sport, walking development, warts, and toenail problems.<\/p>\r\n Severs Disease is a very common cause of heel pain in young and physically active people. Similar conditions to this can affect many other areas of the foot as well as the knee (Osgood-Schlatter\u2019s Disease) in otherwise fit and healthy growing children and youths. Kids with heel and knee pain are often referred by other treating practitioners and word of mouth. The Podiatrist might include taping, exercises, activity advice and management shoe advice and, in older children, orthotic therapy. Load management is key in the high activity child athlete and establishing the best load management pathway is done with full consultation and understanding.<\/p>\r\n Management of children\u2019s foot pain includes assessment, practical advice and reassurance.<\/p>\r\n We love seeing parents, who visited the clinic as children themselves, returning with their own children for expert care.<\/p>\r\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=\"Bunions\" tab_id=\"condition5\"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]While a bunion deformity can simply be an unsightly change in shape to the main joint of the big toe, it is really an entire forefoot, progressive, shape change. Today\u2019s understanding of the mechanisms behind their development, what makes them painful and how they can affect the rest of the foot and lower limb means anyone with a family history or sign of this condition should be assessed and seen.<\/p>\r\n We are uniquely placed to advice on this condition and strategies that can minimise progression, manage pain and function. The earlier we can help assist in load management strategies that combat the progression of this disorder the better. At the ball of the foot, there is a complex unit and hinge function, and with a high load of steps it is affected by our own individual build, along with activity, shoe type, and occupation. As such, no two people are ever quite the same, but the principles of management do remain similar. We will thoroughly assess and advise in each case.<\/p>\r\n Bunion surgery is complex and will nearly always require post-operative management of some form. Hence limiting the chance of surgery is always preferable, and should surgery be required we can manage the prehab and rehab appropriately. We are the only profession recognised with this skill and training.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/2\"][vc_tta_accordion style=\"flat\" shape=\"square\" spacing=\"10\" gap=\"20\" active_section=\"0\" css_animation=\"fadeIn\" collapsible_all=\"true\"][vc_tta_section title=\"Flat Feet\" tab_id=\"condition6\"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]\u2018Flat feet\u2019 or \u2018pronation\u2019 is a common concern for many people and one of the main reasons people make an appointment to see us.<\/p>\r\n Most of us pronate to some degree when we walk. It is part of the normal walking cycle and helps shock absorption. Excessive pronation can affect the normal walking pattern causing stress on soft tissue structures and inefficient lower limb function. This can lead to heel pain, shin pain and ankle problems and leave the feet feeling tired and sore.<\/p>\r\n We can optimise flat feet with supportive and corrective orthotics. Our orthotics are made by taking a precise 3D scan of your feet. Your podiatrist will design an orthotic specific to your foot, then both scan and the prescription are sent to a laboratory for manufacture. The orthotics are fitted to your shoes in the clinic.<\/p>\r\n Orthotics and made from a vast array of materials and should be comfortable and easy to fit with current shoes. It is rare that someone will have to change footwear size, and equally rare that they require them full time. An analogy to prescription glasses can easily be drawn, where appropriate use when required becomes the norm.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=\"Ingrown Toenails\" tab_id=\"condition7\"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]An ingrown toenail is a problem that develops when the toenails begin to grow into the skin surrounding them. They can become very painful with swelling, redness, and pus, often very sore to touch and making it hard to wear shoes. Ingrown toenails often occur from incorrect cutting technique, inadequate footwear, genetically curved nails, or direct trauma.<\/p>\r\n We may be able to treat this within a normal consultation, or you may require a simple nail surgery. This is done with local anaesthetic. Typically, we will remove a small part of the nail and apply a chemical that will prevent that part from regrowing. The day of aggressive surgical resection techniques is long gone. [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=\"Fungal Nails\" tab_id=\"condition8\"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Toenail fungus is common and affects around 10% of adults.<\/p>\r\n A rapid test at the clinic can determine if the problem is fungal and your podiatrist will determine the right treatment.<\/p>\r\n Management can include:<\/p>\r\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=\"Corns and Calluses\" tab_id=\"condition9\"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Corns and Calluses are common skin conditions that are often found on the balls of the feet, tops of the toes, base of the heels and on the side of nails. The good news is that they can be easily treated, and where appropriate care to assist in prevention will be implemented. Sometimes, corns and calluses may be early warning signs of underlying problems and more complex foot disorders.<\/p>\r\n Treatment will include gently removing the hard skin of the callus or corn. The location of the lesion will direct the best strategy, be that footwear, silicon pressure redistribution or in the case of plantar lesions an orthotic device to off load the area could be considered. [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=\"Ulcers\" tab_id=\"condition10\"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Foot and leg ulcers are open sores caused when the circulation to the effected area is not able to keep the tissue viable and healthy. They are often not painful when the nerves are so affected and fail to warn the body of the risk, and these are the trickiest to manage. It is essential to get these treated quickly. If a foot ulcer is not managed and treated, it can eventually lead to amputation. This is real concern for those people with Diabetes and other vascular and nerve problems<\/p>\r\n Ulcers are more likely to occur when blood circulation or nerves in your feet or legs are damaged. Ulcers can easily develop in aged feet with toe deformities and shape change. Poor fitting shoes, injuries or skin tears and loss of sensation in your foot all contribute.<\/p>\r\n You can help prevent ulcers with a self-managed daily skin check and seeking professional help quickly. Our podiatrists provide wound care and establish the right management strategy, including pressure relief and dressings to allow the ulcer to heal.
