Not all foot problems require surgical
intervention. Many types of leg and FOOTPAIN can be caused by
biomechanical dysfunction and abnormal gait. The cause of the dysfunction
may be tight muscles, muscle imbalance or abnormal bony alignment. An
assessment may be necessary to evaluate the function of your lower limbs
during gait. Any structural abnormality or imbalance detected may be
treated with in shoe supports known as Orthoses.
Orthoses may be “off the shelf” or bespoke to you.
If bespoke Orthoses are recommended they will be manufactured from moulds
of your feet.
Orthoses can be made from a variety of materials,
chosen to suit the abnormality and amount of support required. The devices
will fit into most normal shoes and will not be noticed by anyone else.
Orthoses may be used before surgery is contemplated and if the Orthoses
are successful and the FOOTPAIN is resolved then the patient will not
require surgery. |
