Padding and Strapping

Padding and strapping is sometimes required to provide immediate relief for acute conditions or injuries, or until further tests such as Xrays are completed to confirm a diagnosis before treatment can be undertaken.
In some cases padding in shoes or strapping is used as a trial to see your foot and body’s response before orthotic therapy is implemented. For children under 2 years of age we often start with felt padding in shoes and gradually work up to orthoses after the age of 2. For those suffering from ongoing corns and pressure areas, padded devices and padding in shoes along with various silicon devices can help to prevent pressure over affected areas and common for corns on toes.
This service is usually provided as part of and Initial or Standard Appointment but may involve a small fee if needed long term.

Children's Foot and Gait Assessment

Children present with a wide range of general foot complaints such as warts, ingrown toenails and blisters which can be assessed and treated at an initial appointment and a treatment plan implemented.
Some issues require further assessment depending on the presenting complaint.
Poor foot alignment and mechanics are underlying many conditions and pain issues in children’s feet and bodies.

A gait assessment involves watching you walk to assess the foot and the whole body’s mechanics to help diagnose either the pain/injury you present with or to advise you regarding potential issues that may arise as a result of poor mechanics. Your footwear wear patterns will also be assessed and tell us a lot about your gait.
A biomechanical assessment includes assessing the foot and ankle for joint range of motion, joint positions and associated muscle/tendon tightness, leg length and pelvic alignment, hip range of motion, and the whole body’s posture on standing. This assessment is required to give the best advice regarding orthotic therapy if it’s indicated and to help us assess and advise you on the right treatment plan to resolve pain or prevent potential issues in future.

DO YOU SUFFER FROM INGROWN TOENAILS?

They can occur for all ages sometimes, even at birth and are common in age 12 to teenage years (sweaty feet that parents aren’t always monitoring closely!)
Ingrown nails are most commonly the big toenails but can occur at any nail and result from a nail spike growing into the flesh of the toe.
They are very painful often appear red and inflamed and weepy with pus.
If left untreated they can become infected and require antibiotics. They are often caused by not cutting the nail properly, poor fitting shoes or simply the involuted shape of the toenail.
