Before treatment is commenced, a very detailed assessment is carried out. We look at the presenting problem, the associated joints of the foot and ankle, The hip knee and back. We assess muscle flexibility and strength. As well as this, we do a bio-mechanical assessment. Our findings enable us to provide very accurate treatment and help prevent recurrence of problem.
Orthotics are frequently, but not always part of the plan.
We are constantly updating our skills in the area of foot pain, and are members of IOFAS, the Irish Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society which is a special interest groups of Orthopaedic surgeons, physios, podiatrists etc., who have a special interest in the whole area of foot and lower limb pain.
