The foot is a complex mechanical structure of the human body composing of 33 joints, 26 bones, and more than a hundred muscles, tendons and ligaments that all work in conjunction to move us through our daily lives
Each individual has their own unique biomechanics which can have an impact on how they move or stand on a daily basis. A detailed history will be taken at this appointment related to general health, medication, previous injuries and surgeries.
A series of specialist tests may include:
The findings from the assessment will determine what treatment plan is required. The Podiatrist may suggest some exercise and rehabilitation, orthotics therapy, steroid injection, or onward referral wherever necessary.
Our podiatrist will conduct a comprehensive examination of your Gait Cycle as well as a range of MSK tests to diagnose and treat your foot and ankle pain. We use a range of equipment including our in house treadmill, pressure plate and gait analysis equipment to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment.
We design and create custom 3D Printed orthotics to help alleviate your foot pain. Our orthotics are made from high-quality materials and are designed to fit your unique foot shape and gait for maximum comfort and support.
Whether you are dealing with a common foot problem or a more complex condition, we are here to help. If you know that a MSK assessment is the right service for you, you can book directly into the 'Musculoskeletal initial appointment'. Or if you have any queries you can call / email us prior to booking.
Please ensure you bring a a list of your up-to-date medication, a selection of footwear and loose fitting clothes on the day of your MSK assessment.
