Podiatry
Lower limb injuries are not uncommon within running and other sports. They can also occur on a day to day basis. Our podiatrist specialises in diagnosis, treatment and injury prevention of the foot, ankle and leg.
Each new consultation starts by taking a detailed history of your symptoms, followed by an assessment of the way you stand, walk and, if appropriate run. The assessment will also include muscle and joint evaluation and potentially footwear review. Based on our findings, we develop a personalised management plan that may involve strengthening and conditioning exercises, footwear recommendations, and education on injury prevention.
You should consider seeing a podiatrist if you experience:
- Persistent or chronic foot/ankle/heel pain
- Plantar fasciitis
- Ankle twists and sprains
- Ingrown toenails or other nail problems
- Skin or nail conditions such as corns, calluses or fungal infections
- Achilles pain and swelling
- Calf and shin pain
- Abnormal gait or walking patterns
One of the many treatments that the APC podiatrists use is ‘Ankle and foot mobilisation’. This can help relieve a range of different issues within the lower limb and ankle, and can also help improve alignment of the leg and hip.
Mobilisation will help to:
- Increase joint range of motion
- Release connective tissue restrictions
- Improve movement patterns
- Change neurological input and output from a joint
