What is podiatry?
Podiatrists specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the feet, ankles and lower limbs.
The human foot is a complex structure made up of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments and soft tissues. It is designed to bear the weight of the body and to provide mobility.
Disorders of the foot can occur for many reasons, including injury, arthritis, diabetes, deformities or congenital conditions. Podiatrists treat these conditions with a variety of methods, including exercise and stretching, manual manipulation, shockwave therapy and orthotics (custom-made arch supports).
Podiatrists also play an important role in the prevention of foot disorders. They can provide advice on footwear, exercise and other measures to keep the feet healthy.
The Benefits of Podiatry
Podiatry treatment can relieve pain, improve mobility and prevent further injury. It can also help to improve the appearance of the feet, and increase confidence and self-esteem. In some cases, it may even be possible to avoid surgery. Our Podiatrists work with a wide range of patients, from children to older adults, and can tailor their treatment to each individual.
