Podiatry
A podiatrist assesses, diagnoses and treats a range of problems of the foot and lower limb below the knee. Their specialist skills are used to treat minor infections/ailments, defects and injuries, as well as conditions and symptoms relating to other major health disorders e.g. diabetes. Podiatrists also provide preventative care and advice.
Biomechanical foot dysfunction can cause or contribute to injuries in the foot leg and spine and may be responsible for poor athletic performance. From a musculoskeletal perspective the podiatrist will assess whether dysfunction in the foot is contributing in whole or in part to an injury in any part of the body.
The assessment process includes physical examination, video photography and the use of special computerized pressure sensitive insoles. These are used to analyse the subject’s gait and assess foot function. If orthotic insoles are required as part of the treatment process digital scanning methods are used to obtain accurate casts of the foot. This enables the production of devices that are fully customised to the client’s feet.
Treatment also includes the use of physical therapy and the prescription of exercises tailored to the individual’s requirements.
