What Conditions Can Podiatrists Treat?
Podiatrists specialise in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions affecting the feet, ankles, and lower limbs. Below are some of the key conditions that can benefit from podiatric care:
1. Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Pain
Plantar fasciitis is a leading cause of heel pain, often linked to overuse, poor footwear, or biomechanical imbalances. Podiatrists use custom orthotics, stretching exercises to relieve pain and promote healing.
2. Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails can be painful and lead to infection if left untreated. Our podiatrists offer safe nail treatments, including partial or total nail avulsion procedures where necessary.
3. Bunions and Toe Deformities
Bunions, hammer toes, and other deformities can cause pain and affect mobility. Our approach includes footwear advice, orthotics, and rehabilitation exercises to manage symptoms and slow progression.
4. Sports Injuries and Biomechanical Issues
Athletes and active individuals frequently experience conditions such as Achilles tendinopathy, shin splints, and stress fractures. Podiatrists assess gait mechanics and provide rehabilitation, taping, and tailored orthotic solutions.
5. Flat Feet and High Arches
Structural foot issues like flat feet (fallen arches) and high arches can cause discomfort and increase the risk of injury. Custom orthotics and strengthening exercises can help support the foot and improve alignment.
6. Diabetic Foot Care
People with diabetes are at higher risk for foot complications, including ulcers and neuropathy. Regular diabetic foot assessments, vascular checks, and pressure relief strategies help prevent serious complications.
7. Arthritic Foot Pain
Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can lead to foot stiffness and pain. Joint mobilisation, footwear modifications, and supportive insoles can help improve comfort and mobility.
8. Corns, Calluses, and Fungal Infections
Hard skin, corns, and fungal infections like athlete’s foot and fungal nails are common foot problems that podiatrists treat with medical debridement, topical treatments, and footwear advice.
9. Morton’s Neuroma
This painful condition affects the nerves in the ball of the foot, often causing a burning or tingling sensation. Treatment includes footwear adjustments, orthotics, and manual therapy to relieve pressure on the nerve.
10. Achilles Tendonitis
Achilles tendonitis is a common overuse injury causing pain at the back of the ankle. Podiatrists provide stretching routines and orthotic support to aid recovery.
