Podiatry

Podiatry is the treatment of Foot and Ankle problems. X-ray, CT scan, MRI and Ultrasound scans are tools commonly used in the investigation of foot problems.

Foot problems commonly treated surgically include:

• Hallux Valgus (bunions)
• Hallux Rigidus (Arthritic big toe joints)
• Hammer toes
• Mallet toes
• Neuroma
• Ganglions
• Ingrown toenails
• Skin lesions
• Flexible Flat Foot
• Tendon problems

Not all foot problems require surgery and some e.g Heel Pain, Tendonitis and mechanical problems may be treated with Orthoses or injection therapy.
