Painful Feet, Knees and Back

You don't have to put up with tired, sore or aching feet, legs, hips or back. Relief is available. Aching legs and feet are often a sign of underlying poor foot posture, instability or muscle weakness. These are often complicated by spending long hours on your feet or poorly fitting footwear including work boots and high heels.

Whilst walking on unstable feet may cause pain today, it is in the longer term that more serious damage can be done. Damage can include toe deformities, arthritis, knee wear and tear, chronic back pain, fallen arches and heel pain. It is for this reason you should not ignore mild discomfort. The Podiatrists at The Podiatry Point believe that good rehabilitation of sore feet involves more than reducing foot pain. It is also important to retrain and strengthen muscles in the foot to prevent future injury.

The Podiatry Point podiatrists treat foot pain in a number of ways including strapping, strengthening, stretching, dry needling, footwear, shoe inserts and orthotics. Orthotics are an affordable, yet effective solution to many types of foot, knee and back pain. At the Podiatry Point we have a wide range of orthotics to suit your situation and budget.

Types of orthotics include

• prefabricated shoe inserts that are heat mouldable and can be adjusted to fit your foot,
• custom made innersoles made from a drawing or computerised image of your foot or
• fully customized orthotics taken from a cast of your foot.

Orthotics come in different styles and lengths to suit most types of shoes.
