The Footcare Centre offers a wide range of treatments for runners, ball and puck players. Chiropodists/Foot Specialists can offer the sporting community a ‘full house’ of advice and treatment services for their feet.
Comfortable athletic shoes are important, so why not ask your chiropodists/foot specialists advice on your running shoes – ensure you have the correct shoe for your foot type.
Are you ‘Pronated’, ‘Highly-pronated’, ‘Supinated’, ‘Highly-supinated’ or ‘Within norms’?
For the novice and advanced runner this is a confusing area, so let a chiropodist take a look!
More complex sports-related problems or recurrent injuries can be assessed by your chiropodist. A full bio-mechanical examination and gait analysis can be performed to help determine why the injuries are occurring. We can help speed healing of sports injuries through combination of taping, exercises/stretches, low level laser therapy, ultrasound, shockwave therapy, custom foot orthotics, and footwear, depending on an individual’s specific needs.
A demanding athletic programme poses friction problems. Blisters, toenail traumas and corns or calluses can develop as a result. These conditions can be assessed and treated by your foot specialist/chiropodist too.
