22.01.2022 A podiatrist is a health professional who deals with the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of medical and surgical conditions of the feet and ...lower limbs. The conditions podiatrists treat include those resulting from bone and joint disorders such as arthritis and soft-tissue and muscular pathologies as well as neurological and circulatory diseases. Podiatrists are also able to diagnose and treat any complications of the above which affect the lower limb, including skin and nail disorders, corns , calluses and ingrowing toenails. Foot injuries and infections gained through sport or other activities are also diagnosed and treated by podiatrists.

20.01.2022 Plantar Heel Pain Plantar heel pain occur at the bottom of the heel. Often plantar heel pain is the result of damage to the plantar fascia. The plantar fascia is a broad fan shaped strap of strong body tissue which stretches from the bottom of the heel bone to the ball of the foot. It helps to hold the foot bones and joints in place. When it is over stressed (over stretched) typical symptoms occur. The heels hurt most of all first thing in the morning or after a period of re...st. The heels are also very sore after standing for a long time. CAUSES There are many medical causes of heel pain but by far the most common cause is associated with damage and inflammation of the plantar fascia, and its insertion into the heel bone. A foot x-ray often reveals the presence of heel spurs, which are sharp spikes of bony over growth on the bottom of the heel bone. Heel spurs may or may not be present with plantar heel pain and are unlikely to be contributing to the pain. Examination of the joints and muscles in the foot and leg, and checking of foot and leg mechanics will show that individuals will have a unique structure that affects the walking pattern. Plantar heel pain is also linked to long standing work, being overweight and poor footwear. TREATMENT The aim of treatment is to give relief from the pain in the short term , and address mechanical imbalances in the long term. Initial treatments may include strapping, padding, stretching, trigger-point therapy, mobilisations, and footwear changes. In the longer term your podiatrist may advise an orthotic to control the foot mechanics. Orthotics are in-shoe devices which reduce the abnormal forces on the foot. It is important to discuss your mobility and foot care problems with a podiatrist who can advise which service or professional support is most appropriate to your needs.

06.01.2022 What are Orthoses Orthoses are custom-made shoe inserts made specifically to reduce a foot pathology. As already outlined, the prescription and manufacture of orthoses is an important part of podiatric practice. The podiatrists is trained in the manufacturing techniques for a diversity of shoe inserts. Most inserts fall into two main categories functional orthoses or palliative orthoses. Functional orthoses are prescribed after the biomechanical assessment and casting of ...the feet. They are made by various techniques to align the structure of the foot in its most functionally efficient position. The orthotic, moulded from the cast, is designed to stabilize the foot and to prevent it from moving into an unbalanced position while walking or running. These inserts involve several steps in both the diagnostic and manufacturing phases, and are usually made of a thermoplastic. Palliative orthoses are designed specifically to reduce pressure from painful or ulcerated areas of the foot. These are often softer and less complicated devices made of foam or rubbers. See more

05.01.2022 Childrens feet The childs foot is not just a small-scale model of an adult foot. Its shape is not finally determined until growth ceases at the end of the second decade of life. Podiatrists diagnose and treat childrens foot problems by careful examination of the foot, and lower limb, where required. Advice for the prevention or reduction of foot deformity which often develops later in adult life may involve the provision of appropriate information on footwear, treatment by splinting, advice on exercises and/or orthotic control of the feet. Podiatrists also treat common, chronic and acute problems of childrens feet such as osteochondroses, fasciitis and pes planus.

04.01.2022 As systemic diseases such as arthritis affect the joints in the foot, podiatrists monitor feet for any degenerative changes. The effects of these diseases and the medications often used in their treatment can predispose sufferers to circulatory pathology and/or peripheral neuropathies. This can result in nail an skin lesions, deformity of the feet and the increased incidence of ulceration. The multiplicity of possible causes and complications demands a comprehensive method of... examination in order to establish a sound diagnosis as a basis of treatment. The podiatrists role entails much more than merely attaching a label to a condition. It often includes the monitoring of circulation and neurological examination, using methods such as Doppler assessment and motor and sensory tests. The manufacture of palliative and functional orthoses also aids in the prevention and treatment of pressure lesions or deformities, enabling individuals to maintain a more normal, active lifestyle.

03.01.2022 Sports medicine Any sport which involves walking, running, standing or jumping places greater physical demands on our body than normal day-to-day activities. Injuries to the foot and lower limb make up a large proportion of sporting injuries. Podiatrists examine the foot and lower limb, have a knowledge of the biomechanics of athletic movement, diagnose foot conditions and can recommend appropriate footwear, training regimens, and, if needed, orthotic devices to fit into the sports shoe. Common sporting injuries include plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, stress fractures, ankle sprains and shin or knee pain
