Various Foot and Ankle Treatments
Here are some of the treatments in Podiatry Clinics for patients suffering from foot and ankle problems:
Bunion Treatment
Ever wondered why some people have a bump underneath their big toe? It might appear like a Callus, but it is not. It is actually forefoot protrusion which causes the big toe to overlap on the second toe next to it. To help fix this problem, podiatrists provide a bunion treatment which involves the of use ergonomic shoes, sports taping, orthotic insoles.
Corn Treatment
Corn and calluses are rough, hardened layers on the skin which are often caused by constant friction and pressure from the things that most people come in contact with every day. People with corn and calluses might experience pain and discomfort if left untreated. Podiatrists can perform a corn treatment on their patients to remove the calluses on their feet.
Gout Treatment
Uric acid build-up can cause gouts to form around the areas of the feet. Patients with gouts should not ignore it because untreated gouts can develop into painful arthritis, and kidney failure. Podiatrists can carry out a gout treatment through clinical therapies in order to flush out the build-up uric acid inside joints.
Flat feet Treatment
People with flat feet have fallen arches which results in the improper alignment of the body. This causes other joints in the body to receive more stress and pressure. Podiatrists can help patients customise insoles for flat feet.
Each individual has a unique and different feet structure thus it is important for a patient to consult a podiatrist so that they can produce a customised insole in their clinic in Singapore. Podiatrists can also provide the right treatment for each of their patients.
