Foot Pain Treatment

Expert diagnosis for pain in your feet.

Correct diagnosis of foot pain is essential to a fast recovery and to ensure there are no lingering issues that will affect comfort and range of motion in the long-term.

Pain in the feet is most commonly a product of disease, injury, or trauma, poor biomechanics, and footwear that does not properly support the foot or restricts mobility. Many of us push through this pain, believing it to be the cost of doing business with our feet.

Foot pain diagnosis and treatment

Why your foot pain should be diagnosed by a qualified podiatrist.

Foot pain can be debilitating if not addressed and treated. And incorrect diagnosis and treatment of foot pain can lead to months or even years of chronic pain.

The foot is one of the most complex parts of your body. Each foot has 26 bones, attached via 33 joints, connected by over 100 ligaments and nearly 20 muscles and tendons. There are hundreds of different causes of foot pain, and correct diagnosis relies on a thorough understanding of the foot, and how each combination of bone, joint, ligament, and muscle interacts.

Pride Podiatry's skilled podiatrists will assess your feet, tracing pain back to its original cause and customising a treatment plan to suit your specific needs.

We can diagnose all kinds of foot pain.

A qualified podiatrist will know which combination of movements is required to diagnose the pain in your feet correctly and has the experience to design a treatment program that will see an end to injuries and chronic foot pain. Our team can refer patients directly for diagnostic imaging, including musculoskeletal ultrasound, x-ray, and MRI should this be clinically relevant, saving you a trip to the GP. Medicare rebates may also be available in some instances.

Starting a rehabilitation program and managing the early stages of treatment are essential to healing the origin of foot pain. Our team at Pride Podiatry has the experience and understanding to accurately identify what is causing the pain in your feet, and formulate a treatment plan to have you performing at your best.
