Lower Limb Injuries

---

Many of us have experienced foot pain at some point.  Sometimes we learn to live with aches and pain.  No foot pain is normal and should be investigated. 

Lower limb or foot pain can be a result from overuse or an injury.  Having poor posture, malalignment, or muscle imbalances can put you at risk of an injury.  As Podiatrist we perform a Biomechanical assessment which looks at the body and all of its moving parts. 

Lower limb injuries we treat:

- Ankle Sprains/Injuries

- Heel Pain/Plantar Fasciitis

- Achilles Tendinopathy

- Morton's Neuroma

- Fractures and Stress Fractures

- Shin Splints

- Ligament injuries

- Metatarsalgia

- Bursitis/Capsulitis

- Compartment Syndrome

- Arthritis/Joint Pain

- Bunions

 Treatments we offer:

- Shockwave therapy: a non-invasive medical treatment that uses soundwaves to stimulate healing and reduce pain in injured tissues.

- Dry Needling: the use of Acupuncture needles to release myofascial trigger points. 

- Strapping: sports tape used to treat or prevent sports injuries.

- Orthotics: custom, semi-custom or prefabricated.

- Rehabilitation of soft tissue: with the use of soft tissue therapy like massage, mobilisation and manipulation of the foot structures. 

- Intrinsic foot strengthening: To improve balance and proprioception.
