COMMON PODIATRIC CONDITIONS

Podiatric clients include children of all ages, sports people and elite athletes through to members of the general community.

Typical podiatric problems may be related to improper development, occupation, sport & recreation. Or come about due to an underlying mechanical fault of that person’s leg or foot structure. Most often, a combination of all these factors results in podiatric injuries.

Some of the most common problems and injuries treated by podiatrists include

  • Heel pain and spurs (sever’s disease and plantar fasciitis)
  • Knock knees
  • Pigeon toed gait
  • Bowed legs
  • Limping and abnormal walking patterns
  • Growing pains

  • Arch pain
  • Flat feet and Fallen arches
  • High arches
  • Bunions
  • Clawed toes
  • Shin splints
  • Achilles pain
  • Unusual shoe wear and shoe choice
  • Stress fractures
  • Bony prominences of the feet
  • Metatarsalgia and Sesamoiditis (inflammatory conditions of the forefoot)
  • Neuromas (nerve inflammation) and Nerve entrapment in the leg and foot
  • Arthritis
  • Joint dislocations
  • Ankle injuries
  • Knee pain and injuries
  • Hip, ITB and lower back pain / dysfunction

Andrew  Asks some important questions of interest to Sydney residents - Chiropractor Sydney Andrew Asks...

What can a chiropractor do for asthma?
Many people think of chiropractic as exclusively dealing with the spine. But I'm interested in the spine because it covers the nervous system. Problems in the spine can produce problems in the organs and tissues controlled by the affected nerves—including those to the lungs and bronchial tubes. Find out how chiropractic care has helped those with asthma.
Are chiropractors just concerned with the spine?
Our interest in the spine is because it covers the major communications conduit between your brain and your body. As a Sydney chiropractor my job is to locate areas (usually along the spine) that interfere with proper nerve communications to and from your brain. Chiropractic adjustments help restore nervous system integrity. In this way, chiropractic care can affect the function of your entire body.
