A podiatrist is a healthcare professional trained in the diagnosis and management of foot and ankle conditions, often focusing on non-surgical care. A foot and ankle doctor, usually an orthopaedic surgeon, is a medical doctor who specialises in surgical and non-surgical treatment of complex foot and ankle issues. At our clinic, these specialists work closely together to provide joined-up care.
Two of the most common issues we see are plantar fasciitis (heel pain) and ankle sprains. Both can be painful and limit mobility, but with early assessment and tailored treatment, they’re usually very manageable.
You’ll meet with a specialist who will assess your symptoms, examine the affected area and may recommend imaging tests such as an X-ray, MRI or ultrasound. From there, we’ll talk you through a treatment plan that might include physiotherapy, orthotics, medication, or surgery if required.
Advances include minimally invasive surgery, regenerative injections, custom orthotics, and improved techniques for joint replacements and ligament repairs. Your consultant will guide you through the most appropriate options based on your condition and lifestyle.
It depends on the cause of the pain. For some conditions like mild arthritis or plantar fasciitis, gentle walking may help improve circulation and mobility. For others, rest and specific stretches may be more suitable. Our specialists can advise on what’s safe and effective for your case.
Emerging treatments include nerve stimulation therapies, improved pain relief options, and targeted physiotherapy. In some cases, addressing the underlying condition (like diabetes or vitamin deficiency) can significantly ease symptoms. We can help assess the cause and build a plan around your needs.
Simple stretching and strengthening exercises, like toe curls, calf stretches, and rolling a ball under the foot, can relieve mild to moderate foot pain. Our physiotherapy team can show you how to do these safely and recommend what’s right for your condition.
Overdoing activity may increase inflammation and pain in arthritic joints. However, staying active is important to keep joints mobile. The key is finding the right balance, low-impact activity and rest where needed. We’ll work with you to find that balance.
Cold therapy can help reduce swelling and pain after a recent injury, while heat is often better for relaxing stiff muscles or chronic aches. Your consultant or physiotherapist can advise you on when and how to use each for best results.
At our London Foot and Ankle Clinic, you’ll be seen by an experienced foot specialist in London with expertise in diagnosing and treating a wide range of lower limb conditions.
Whether you need advice from a foot specialist for ongoing pain or an ankle specialist following an injury, our team works together to provide a clear diagnosis and tailored treatment. From non-surgical management to more complex procedures, we focus on helping you move comfortably and confidently again.
