If you’re suffering from pain or are looking to enhance your performance, The Foot Practice fabricates SPIN — one of the best custom orthotics for cycling shoes.
Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction
Despite its name, posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) is more complicated than a simple tendon rupture. A failure to understand its cause and the resulting abnormality leads to the tendon overloading and affecting other ligaments in the foot. Over time, this leads to structural failure and progressive disability.
Turf Toe Recovery
Turf toe refers to an injury of the big toe, when the ligaments underneath the big toe are overextended, damaging the main joint of the toe (also known as the hallux). It is a common injury for athletes, though it is less common than ankle sprains, which have a very high incidence rate. Turf toe recovery requires more time and as a result, keeps players off the field, court or green for longer. With a proper assessment, our leading podiatrists will return your foot to optimal function.
Plantar Fasciitis Treatment
More plantar fasciitis treatment alternatives emerge as our understanding of the sports injury and condition develops. The injury differs from person to person and there is no single remedy that will work for everyone. Some therapies are backed by scientific evidence, while others are based on hearsay. Explore more about the condition and podiatry treatments that are available at The Foot Practice in Singapore.
Sports Podiatry & Sports Injuries
Sports podiatry at The Foot Practice is specifically concerned with the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of foot, ankle, and lower limb disorders across all levels of sports. Like a sports foot doctor, a podiatrist focuses on the importance of the lower limb function, including the feet and ankles to help athletes prevent injuries and address performance issues smarter.
Plantar Plate Tear
A plantar plate tear refers to damage to the strong supporting ligament under the toe. When the plantar plate overloads from repetitive movement the ligament tears, which is what actually causes plantar plate pain and can, in worse cases, lead to a misaligned toe that can pop out of place. This is what a plantar plate tear is – when the connective tissue between two bones is torn apart.
Iliotibial Band Syndrome
Iliotibial Band Syndrome is also referred to as ITBS. It is a common overuse injury that runner’s incur by running too much. The syndrome happens when the ligament running from the outer portion of the thigh to the outer aspect of the shin (the iliotibial band) becomes inflamed or is too tight. You need your iliotibial band to stabilize the knee joint during the act of running. If the iliotibial band becomes inflamed or is too short, it becomes painful to run. If the problem is severe, you will not be able to run, perhaps for weeks or months at a time.
