A new field of medical science dealing with the structure and function of the lower limb enables a podiatrist to diagnose and treat the underlying problems that are causing the symptoms.

Careful management of these problems can greatly reduce the symptoms, and help maintain the feet in a good condition for the future.

A bio mechanical assessment is carried out to identify problems this will normally require a 1 hour appointment session, and where appropriate the patient will be prescribed with insoles/ orthoses as part of the management programme for any bio- mechanical problems.

Remember “bad foot function frequently results in problems developing that can have a major effect on the quality of your life.”
