When you hear Podiatry, you automatically associate this with cracked heels, athletes foot & ingrown toenails. And whilst a lot of our time is spent treating that kind of issue (and long may we continue to do that), we also want to promote our other fantastic pain relief therapies we can provide in Podiatry!
Game changing technology for pain relief
So it’s been a big few months for Doncaster Foot Clinic where we’ve spent a lot of time trying to build relationships with local athletes – with a lot of success! We’ve introduced them to technologies we have at our disposal in clinic. Our Laser Pain Relief Therapy is a cutting-edge approach to managing and treating pain associated with a variety of lower body conditions. Better yet, it can speed up our bodies ability to heal injuries! We also have Shockwave Therapy for chronic pain sufferers – perfect if you have plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy or other long-standing tendinitis.
Reducing injury recovery time for everyone!
Casual runners
We’ve had Half Marathon and London Marathon participants in for custom orthotics, footwear advice & MSK assessments that have changed their running game for the better!
Athletes
We’ve had two medal winning Duoathletes in for MSK assessments – one of whom suffered with Posterior Tibial Tendinitis which was resolved with Laser!
We’ve had another runner come through our doors with foot pain and inflammation and he had entirely given up hope of competing in his next scheduled competition. We found the root cause of the issue (restriction in ankle joint caused by inversion sprains) which we’ve treated with orthotics, footwear advice & four Laser sessions. 17 days later he was not only able to take off from the start line – but he finished third and is now completely pain-free!
Footballers
Most recently we’ve had a local semi-professional footballer who has struggled returning to full fitness after a strain to his quadricep muscle. Missing the majority of pre-season, he came to us for help & we’ve now resolve this pain after four sessions of Laser. He even earned a new semi-professional contract for the season ahead & we’ll be supporting him in achieving all his seasons targets!
So there you have it. Podiatry really is for everyone. From the professional athlete needing rehab support, to the every day person who just wants to walk pain-free. We really are here to help everyone in the community!
