22.01.2022 If your young child has flat feet, you may notice: Changes in their arch height from standing to having their feet up Rolled-in ankles Them asking to be carried or pushed in the stroller... Them appearing uncoordinated If your child is feeling pain alongside any of these signs, it's time to bring them in for an appointment with their podiatrist! Pain is never normal - regardless of their foot posture. We love helping kids feel great on their feet so they can play, run, and not be held back from any adventure.

21.01.2022 When you have foot or #legpain or an #injury, your SHOE is NOT just a shoe. We actually look at it like a medical device that's going to keep your feet stable, controlled and supported throughout your #recovery They're going to control how much your ankle rolls freely from side to side, the way you put pressure through areas of the foot, the force and shock that goes through your bones when you take a step - and MUCH more.... That's why #footwear is such an important part of your treatment plan. You need to keep walking, right? But if the way you walk is one of the reasons you've developed that pain in the first place, then what's going to stop your pain from getting worse instead? That's right - your shoes. And some orthotics if we assess that you need them. Your shoes will become the ground you walk on - and you want that ground to be helping your recovery - not slowing it down. Need help finding the right shoes for your feet and your life? Our knowledgeable team can help!

12.01.2022 Turf toe what is it? This "toe sprain" is a common pain at the big toe that happens during sports and running, when your toe is forcefully thrust upwards.

11.01.2022 Do you have ongoing Achilles pain? Or it seems to get better, but then quickly make a reappearance? Where there's pain, there's a problem - and a solution that can help you say goodbye to your pain once and for all! Your Achilles is the strongest tendon in your body. It transmits power from your calf muscles to your foot, allowing you to push up off the ground and keep walking. It can take on up to four times your body weight during walking, and over seven times your bod...y weight in running. This makes it vulnerable to injury and pain. We help restore healthy function to the Achilles tendon and facilitate healing if damage has occurred. As it has a relatively poor blood supply compared to other tendons in the body, Achilles injuries tend to have a longer recovery time, especially without assistance. We work to help repair the tendon using treatments like shockwave, keep it supported using therapies like orthotics, and help reduce your risk of re-injury in the future.
