Many treatments deal only with
the effect of the problem (the pain) leading to
increasingly frequent reoccurrence and diminishing
effect of treatment.
At the MK Clinic our specialist will firstly carry
out a full assessment to establish the cause of the
problem and then provide a complete treatment
package based upon the findings.
DIAGNOSIS
At the diagnosis we will be looking at what
is actually happening to the foot and lower limbs
and any stresses which may be causing or
contributing to the problem. This may involve
looking into the foot with our Ultrasound
scanner and looking at the way the foot
reacts to load bearing and walking.
Recommended solutions may include:
LASER PAIN RELIEF TREATMENT
In the past the only options for relieving the pain was injections into the problem area. Invasive treatment into an already inflamed area is often extremely painful. We use Medical Lasers to administer anti inflammatory treatment to the area. Being non invasive the treatment is painless and can result in complete relief of discomfort almost immediately after.
ORTHOTIC CORRECTION
In many Patients the
condition once started is inherent and may be
contributed by stress conditions in the way we walk
or stand. In these instances Orthotics may be
necessary to correct the biomechanical disorder and
relieve the stress whilst comforting the foot. Key
to success is the accuracy to which the Orthotics
are made for the individuals feet and the varied
support they are able to provide in the arch. Our 3D
Laser Scanner provides the most accurate means of
shaping the Orthotic to the foot and provides a
wider range of prescriptive corrections. For further
