Osteopathic Treatment Centre - Pain free,naturally

CHIROPODY / PODIATRY is the field of medicine devoted to the treatment of problems related to the foot and ankle.

Such treatment often brings about improved well-being in other parts of the body, especially the relief of body aches and pain.

This is because problems and pain in the foot affect both posture and gait – the way we stand and the way we walk. And when we do not stand and walk in a proper, balanced manner, we tend to develop problems such as knee pain, back ache or even pain in the neck.

As such, chiropodists and podiatrists routinely work with other healthcare professionals who treat musculo-skeletal aches and pain, including osteopaths and chiropractors.

Foot and ankle problems commonly treated by chiropodists / podiatrists include:

• corns and callouses (calluses)

• in-grown toenails

• plantar warts / verrucae

• dry, cracked heel

• foot fungal infection, also known as Athlete's foot

• foot ulcers

• bunions (Hallux valgus)

• hammer toes

• flat foot

• weak arches

• neuritis (inflammation of the nerves, resulting in pain, loss or reflexes and atrophy of the affected muscles)

• foot imbalance

• long / short leg

• weak ankles

• ankle sprains

• bursitis

• calcaneal tendonitis (inflammattion of the Achilles' tendon at the heel)

foot odour / excessive perspiration

• diabetic foot

Research shows that 60 to 70 percent of people have abnormally functioning feet. Functional problems in your feet can alter your walking pattern and cause pain throughout your body.

If you suffer from pain in foot, it is important that you wear proper orthotic shoes or shoes with prescription orthotics / orthotic insoles.

Do not just live with the foot pain!

Firstly, you don't have to. More importantly, pain in foot affects your gait – that is, your way of walking.

And if your gait is imbalanced, it can lead to aches and pain in other parts of the body, including lower back pain, back ache, neck pain, and so on.

But while there are a few brands of commercially available orthotic shoes, these are not custom-made to suit your feet and your gait. Remember, every one is different when it comes to orthotics and there is no such thing as "one-size fits all" !

Moreover, the choice of fashion is very limited when you buy orthotic shoes.

Prescription orthotics, which are custom-made orthotic insoles, are thus a better solution.

At NAILTECH & CHIROPODY CENTRE, we are pleased to offer prescription custom-made orthotics produced with THE ORTHOTIC GROUP (TOG) GAITSCAN™ – a computerized system of gait analysis that precisely measures the pressure exerted on different points of your feet.

The process consists of four essential steps:

1. SCAN FOOT

As you walk across the plate of the GAITSCAN™ device, thousands of sensors capture the distribution of pressure throughout the sole of your foot over time.

2. MAP FOOT PRESSURE

From your step, the computer displays on its screen 2-D and 3-D (two-dimensional and three-dimensional) representations of the pressure under your foot.

3. PRINT REPORT

This information is also summarized in an analysis report that can be printed for you to see. The report findings will help our chiropodist / podiatrist evaluate your foot function and determine if the symptoms you are experiencing are related to faulty foot mechanics.

4. DETERMINE NEED FOR ORTHOTIC THERAPY

This information will assist our chiropodist / podiatrist to determine your need for orthotic therapy, and will aid the lab in manufacturing prescription orthotic insoles to support your feet.

If you suffer from pain in foot, corn and calluses, heel pain, arch pain, toe pain and other body aches and pain, you owe it to yourself to do a TOG GAITSCAN™ computerized foot pressure analysis.

TOG offers a wide range of prescription orthotics, including orthotic insoles for general use, children, diabetic foot, extra comfort and dress shoes. For details, click here to view the complete range on the TOG website.

If you are currently wearing commercially available orthotic shoes and find that they do not offer effective foot pain relief, it is time you switch to prescription orthotic insoles.
