Arthritic Feet

We can help you treat the following types of arthritis: 

• Osteoarthritis, also known as age-related arthritis, results from a degenerative joint disease affecting your foot and ankle joints.
• Rheumatoid arthritis, which is an autoimmune disease in which your immune system attacks the joint. It usually appears in both feet, affecting the same joints in each foot.
• Gout happens when you have a buildup of uric acid from your diet. It’s most common in your big toe because it’s the furthest body part from your heart.

When diagnosing arthritis, we will examine the foot thoroughly, looking for swelling in the joint, limited mobility and pain with movement as well as any form of corns, calluses, etc. If there is a deformity, we may discuss having X-rays taken to help us assess the extent of the condition.

Unlike other conditions, arthritis has no cure. So, when it comes to treating clients affected by it, we look at any abnormality that may be causing pain. This process allows us to create a personalised treatment plan focused on their individual needs and reducing symptoms, improving their quality of life.
