FEET are vital for mobility and balance, they are the basis of most of our physical activities, so it’s no wonder problems and pain are common.
Heel, arch, ankle and knee pain are most common in children and adults and can become life affecting or debilitating if left untreated.
But there is often a simple solution if there is correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Experienced musculoskeletal podiatrist Dr David Kavanagh from Foot & Leg Pain Clinics said: “People often endure foot and leg pain and concerns for far too long, often because they are misdiagnosed and so receive inappropriate treatment for their condition or because they simply don’t know who to go to for effective treatment.
“This is really concerning and unnecessary because most foot and leg conditions can be easily overcome, thanks to the latest medical research and treatments.”
While there are many doctors and health professionals available right across Victoria, one of the issues we all face is knowing who to go to for specific problems, and this certainly seems to be a dilemma with many who suffer foot and leg pain, injuries or degenerative conditions like arthritis.
“At Foot & Leg Pain Clinics we see so many people who’ve previously been to see multiple doctors or other health practitioners without having found a long-term solution.
“This can be extremely frustrating for the sufferer and can lead to problems progressing further than they need to.
“If you suffer any foot, leg, knee or hip pain, regardless of age, you should always seek advice from an experienced musculoskeletal podiatrist, one who keeps up to date with the very latest research and treatments.
“Such practitioners have the appropriate training, knowledge and experience to assist your concerns in the very best way possible,” Dr Kavanagh said.
Those who suffer from any foot, heel, ankle, knee or hip pain can get expert advice from Dr Kavanagh at his foot and leg pain clinic in Belmont and Werribee.
