Podiatry
Mrs Sharon Clee
What is Podiatry?
Podiatry is health-science of the feet addressing and treating foot pain caused by joint problems, nerve dysfunction, soft tissue injuries or hard corny lesions. Some common conditions include Plantar-Fasciitis, Mortons Neuroma, Hallux Rigidus, Achilles Tendonitis and more.
Podiatist undergo a 3 or 4 year honours degree in podiatric medicine and are registered with HCPC.
Podiatrists are also experts in evaluating how you walk and stand – known as the science of biomechanics – sometimes using computer or video aids in such assessments. If problems are revealed (which can often be the cause of pain in ankles, knees, hips and lower back) then exercises, footwear modification or discreet customised supports can be prescribed to help the symptoms and correct the underlying problem.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy
It is a series of high energy impulses to the painful or injured site. Along with other treatment modalities, it stimulates the body’s own natural healing processes. The treatment increases the metabolic activity and accelerates the healing process, whilst breaking down scar tissue possible calcification.
Shockwave Therapy stimulates the body’s own natural healing process, there is an immediate reduction in pain and improved ease of movement. Secondary effects are minor.
SHOCKWAVE THERAPY REDUCES THE CHANCE OF SURGERY.Steroid Injections
Steroid Injections
Steroid injections have been used for many decades to treat tendonitis in conditions such as tennis elbow, Achilles tendinitis and plantar fasciitis. They are thought to have very powerful anti-inflammatory properties that can ease and settle the pain and symptoms you maybe experiencing.
