Podiatry
All Podiatrists and Chiropodists at Prestons are members of the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists and Registered with the Health Professions Council.
Biomechanics
Altered alignment in foot joints can cause pain within the feet and also knees, hips and lower back. Where alignment is incorrect, orthotics (moulded insoles) can help realign the bones and improve gait to relieve the symptoms.
Video gait analysis
You may be asked to walk on a treadmill while being filmed simultaneously from the front, back and side. These images are played back in slow motion so the joints and limb motion can be assessed.
Pressure plate analysis
We can use the F-Mat and F-Scan Pressure Plate Technology. Computerised floor sensors create pressure maps to show how much pressure each part of your foot takes as you walk. The aim of your treatment will be to return the pressure distribution to as close to normal as possible.
