Foot Pain
At Reed Footcare our goal is to identify the underlying causes of your pain and provide you with effective treatment to get you back to pain free activity. There are a variety of conditions associated with foot pain and we work with you to help improve and manage the condition to avoid further damage. We are delighted to offer our patients an appointment with our Sports Injury and Foot Pain Specialist, Sean Savage.
We work with you to identify the source of the foot pain, the condition to treat and the management of the same. Treatments may be for symptoms including, for example:
- Knee, calf, shin or ankle pain
- Foot pain including heel, arch, or forefoot (ball of foot) pain
- Bunion and lesser toe pain
Conditions treated may include, for example, leg length differences, shin splints (e.g. medial tibial stress syndrome), Achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, and Morton’s neuroma. Assessment will consider how your foot function and possibly gait (how you walk or run) may be contributing to your symptoms.
The appointment will include taking a thorough history, a lower limb and foot examination and appropriate physical tests including diagnostic ultrasound. Treatment and advice will be given, including recommendations for further investigations if necessary.
Treatment can include prefabricated or custom orthotics/insoles, footwear advice, strengthening and stretching exercises, soft tissue mobilisation and taping.
Please bring or wear loose trousers or shorts.
Please also bring:
- a sample of everyday footwear
- any current orthotics/insoles
- any reports of previous x-rays, scans, or imaging if available (but not essential)
