Step in the right direction

Promotional Feature

No matter what life throws at you, we generally pick ourselves up and carry on. But when pain strikes whether it be when you're just getting out of bed, climbing the stairs, going a run or trying to enjoy a lovely country walk, it's time to act.

What's causing the pain?

Common problems can be:

Heel pain - this can be caused through ill-fitting shoes, stepping from a step awkwardly, playing sports.

Pain in toes - when muscles are pulling incorrectly on the toes causing injury or bunions, making them bend/claw so pressing on each other and forming pressure from footwear.

Discomfort in the ball or mid foot this can be structural changes, nerves being compressed or damaged structures in the arch.

Constant ankle sprains or achillies tendonopathies can be from muscle weaknesses, over exerting certain muscle groups.

Shin or calf pain when just taking a walk or run, these are some of the things that we look at when taking a history of what has been happening.

Knee pain - does your knee ache, swell, become painful when going up or down stairs or feel weak. This is such a complex structure with muscles and ligaments crossing over and surrounding the knee cap. Causes can be muscle weakness, injury/trauma, arthritis.

Hip and lower back pain can severely impact your mobility, again this can occur from the slightest of movements, sometimes it can be muscle weakness, pelvic tilt, leg length difference.

Here at Alderley Edge Foot Clinic, we are open as normal and able to offer you all treatments so we can assess, diagnose, give you a strategy of how to alleviate or help with the cause. We offer a Muscular Skeletal Biomechanical Assessment, examining the structures and range of motion in each of the joints in the lower limb. We can offer strapping, specialist exercises for your condition, bespoke orthotics if needed or referral for further investigation. Coming soon shock-wave therapy is an effective non-surgical treatment for painful conditions.
