Sports Podiatry and biomechanical assessments are terms used to describe a more specialised aspect of Podiatric care. These assessments focus on a detailed analysis of lower limb posture and function to determine the causes or contributing factors leading to foot injury or pain.

One of the treatment options that may be utilised by the team at East Gosford Podiatry to resolve your foot pain and correct biomechanical abnormalities is foot orthotics or orthoses. These are an innersole worn in your shoes, to alter the position or function of your lower limb.

Podiatrists are trained to assess, diagnose and treat medical conditions affecting the lower limbs of both adults and children. Both the anatomy and function of a child’s developing foot vary quite significantly to that of an adult. Subsequently, the medical conditions, and possible associated complications, are also notably different.
