Understanding Foot Health

Foot health plays a vital role in our overall well-being. Conditions like flat feet, bunions, hammertoes, neuromas, and various forms of arthritis can lead to debilitating pain and mobility issues. These conditions can also interfere with our athletic performance. At Orthopaedic Sport Institute, we believe in a holistic and individualized approach to foot care. We leverage our collaborative team of professionals - including Physiotherapists, Chiropractors, and Certified Pedorthists – to provide a comprehensive and specialized foot care strategy.

The Role of a Certified Pedorthist

A Certified Pedorthist is a professional who specializes in the use of footwear – including shoes, shoe modifications, foot orthoses, and other pedorthic devices – to solve problems related to the foot and lower limb. Our Certified Pedorthist at the Orthopaedic Sport Institute conducts a thorough biomechanical assessment and gait analysis to determine the most effective treatment plan for each patient. This tailored approach ensures that our patients receive the best foot care that is suited to their individual needs.

Advanced Foot Care Strategies

Our advanced foot care strategies include both non-operative treatments and where necessary, surgical interventions.

Non-Operative Foot Care Strategies:

1. Custom Orthotics: Our experts use state-of-the-art technology to create custom-made orthotics. These devices are designed based on your unique foot structure and biomechanics, which will help correct alignment issues, redistribute pressure, and relieve pain.

2. Professional Brace Fitting: Bracing also plays a crucial role in managing and preventing foot issues. We offer professional brace fitting to ensure the product is correctly applied, comfortable, and effective.

3. Physiotherapy: Our physiotherapists employ various techniques adapted to treat a plethora of foot conditions. They can also design a home exercise program to improve strength and flexibility, promoting faster recovery.

Operative Foot Care Strategies:

In some cases, conservative treatments may not be enough, and surgery may be needed. We offer Orthopaedic Surgery Consultation with our experienced surgeons to discuss the options, risks, and benefits.
