Practical information before your visit.
Foot pain can have many causes, including plantar fasciitis, bunions, corns and calluses, ingrown toenails, flat feet, tendon problems, injuries, footwear pressure and biomechanical issues. The location and pattern of your symptoms can help guide an assessment.
Walking or standing places repeated pressure on the feet. Footwear, activity level, foot structure, overuse and underlying foot conditions can all contribute to discomfort. Persistent or recurring pain should be assessed to help determine the cause.
Custom orthotics may help certain types of foot pain when foot structure or biomechanics contribute to the problem. They are not appropriate for every condition, so an assessment can help determine whether orthotics should form part of your treatment plan.
Consider booking an assessment if foot pain keeps returning, is getting worse, limits normal activities or has not improved with changes to footwear, activity or basic home care.
