Musculoskeletal Pain and Biomechanical Imbalances
Biomechanical issues throughout the body typically stem from issues with the feet. Undue pressure and the effects of abnormal forces acting through our joints resonate throughout the body. This compensation creates imbalances that result in disabilities and pain.
Our podiatrists in Singapore are highly trained in the biomechanics of the foot and ankle as well as the spine and lower limbs. We work with you to develop treatment plans to alleviate musculoskeletal pain by understanding the entire gait cycle. Our experts in the body’s movement also address malalignments of the foot, knee, hip, and spine that affect the joints and lead to lower-leg injuries.
The Foot Practice provides strategies to identify the causes of your foot pain and to offer treatments, including prescription custom orthotic insoles, radial shockwave therapy, and 3D Gait Analysis. These are all viable and effective therapies for foot pain or other lower-leg injuries.
In our daily lives, we encounter all sorts of foot injuries that can require a long, often painful healing process. A podiatrist is essential in the treatment of your foot and ankle injuries. A foot specialist can both expedite the healing process and prevent recurrent injuries.
Typically, foot pain and lower leg issues result from consistent, unnoticed injuries that accumulate over time and culminate in a more complex injury later.
Foot and Ankle Conditions
These conditions have two things in common: first, they can lead to further complications if left untreated. Second, our podiatrists can help you address your foot and ankle injuries, either by working with you to prevent future injuries or through proactive rehabilitative treatments. Our foot injury treatment protocols to address ankle conditions may include, for example:
- A sprain is the stretching or tearing of ligaments, occurring commonly in the ankle. Our clinicians can provide you with mobility and strengthening exercises if you are prone to ankle injuries or have one.
- If your feet frequently bruise, it could be either due to your footwear or your walking gait. Our healthcare experts can provide a footwear assessment to ensure your shoes fit properly and help you correct your gait.
Whether you’re experiencing pain in the heel of the foot or a niggling ankle strain that’s becoming more and more painful, our team is here to provide specialised expertise to get you back on your feet.
The Foot Practice can assist you by providing strengthening exercises or treatment relevant to your specific injury. If you have a fracture, for example, we can assist you with the rehabilitative process. We can conduct a 3D Gait Analysis to aid with the rehabilitation and gait retraining. Orthotic insoles can be used to re-align your balance. These lower leg injury treatments work to ensure that your fracture does not compound into another problem later in life.
Revolutionary 3D Biomechanical Gait Analysis
Your gait is an essential part of understanding your body’s biomechanics to address current injuries and prevent future lower-limb injuries. Our team will utilise advanced technology to analyse your gait through a digital 3D biomechanical assessment developed by Oxford University, providing detailed recommendations to realign and reduce imbalances in the body.
At The Foot Practice, our clients receive individualised care for a wide range of foot pain and lower-leg injury treatments. From injury prevention and intervention advice, our leading practitioners not only address your specific condition, such as pain in the arch of a foot. Our team also works to prevent future foot injuries by recommending the right therapeutic approach.
