Feet are at the far end of bodies and often at the bottom of priorities.
But whilst most of the time people don’t give their feet a second thought, when something goes wrong with them it can be debilitating.
Feet are vital for mobility and balance and are the basis of most physical activity, so it’s no wonder problems and pain are common.
What many people aren’t aware of is that feet can affect and cause problems in the rest of the body including ankles, knees, hips, backs and necks.
Bad foot posture can continually pull bodies out of alignment so any foot or leg pain should not be ignored.
Problems left untreated almost always get worse but there is often a simple solution.
A sports podiatrist who has expertise in musculoskeletal issues and biomechanics is the best person to help with any foot and leg pain or discomfort.
Dr David Kavanagh, musculoskeletal podiatrist from Foot and Leg Pain Clinics, one of Australia’s leading foot and leg pain practices, said: “People often endure painful foot, heel and ankle conditions for far too long.
“They either don’t know who to turn to in order to get appropriate help or they assume nothing can be done, but most conditions are extremely treatable.
“Even patients who have been told that there is no solution or that surgery is their only option, we are now able to treat with great success.
“Recent medical advances are enabling us to treat most foot and leg problems quickly, easily, effectively and naturally.”
Dr Kavanagh said: “If you’re seeking assistance for any foot and leg pain, ensure you see a practitioner with expertise in musculoskeletal concerns and one who keeps up to date with the latest medical research and treatments.
“It’s also important to see a practitioner who takes a holistic approach, looking at the whole body as well as lifestyle factors that may be contributing to your concerns.
“Most foot pain, injury and degenerative conditions, including arthritis, can now be effectively treated.
“You just need a correct diagnosis, expert treatment and advice, including the use of the latest regenerative therapies such as prolotherapy and PRP and a sound knowledge of biomechanics and the musculoskeletal system.”
