The best way to find out what's causing your discomfort is a biomechanical assessment, which includes a treadmill gait analysis, to understand what your bones, joints and muscles are doing while you walk, and why you’r...e experiencing your symptoms.

15.01.2022 Heel pain or plantar fasciitis is the most commonly treated condition podiatrists treat. The plantar fascia is a band of connective tissue that runs from the heel to the base of the toes. It is the the main supportive structure of the arch and takes most of the load while you are walking. Individual treatment plans are important with this condition and may include footwear advice, strapping, compression socks, stretching and strengthening exercises and orthotics. If you need help or treatment advice with your heel pain then call the clinic on 0457955433 and make an appointment.

15.01.2022 #foothealthweek2020 What are the main causes of foot and lower limb pain? There are many causes of this kind of pain, including: ... Heel pain (plantar fasciitis) Injury such as sprains, breaks and fractures Arthritis inflammation of the joints and other tissues Tendonitis inflammation of the tendon structures that attach to the bones of your feet (e.g. the Achilles which connects your calf muscle to your feet) Shin splints refers to pain felt anywhere along the shinbone from the knee to the ankle Peripheral vascular disease where blood flow is constricted Sever’s disease is a common cause of heel pain, particularly in young and physically active people Deep vein thrombosis a blood clot that forms in the veins of the leg Sciatica and radiculopathy pain in the buttock and leg caused by pressure on nerves in the lower back Flat feet, corns, calluses, bunions or a range of other ailments How can you heal your pain? A good step is to see your podiatrist, who can assess and treat you as part of a personalised treatment plan. It can also help to look after your overall general health by drinking plenty of water, wearing correct footwear and exercising regularly where possible. What is the best treatment? No single treatment works for everyone, which is why it is so important to see a podiatrist who can tailor a treatment plan to specifically reflect your needs. Treatment for pain can be varied to include anti-inflammatory medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen. Whereas if swelling and inflammation is the cause of pain ice packs, strapping and stretching can form part of your treatment plan. For biomechanical issues such as flat feet or bunions orthotics may be prescribed as part of a wider treatment plan. Given the complexity of ailments affecting the feet and lower limbs, only your podiatrist can prescribe the treatment most suited to your needs. Most importantly, don’t selfdiagnose pain treatment please see a podiatrist.
