Understanding Your Foot Problems: Delving Deeper for Your Outcome with Gait Analysis
First we start with a thorough history of your problem (you may feel a little interrogated, we really want to understand) and move onto a physical examination coupled with a gait anaylsis. And this is where the magic happens, we use it to confirm your diagnosis and devise an effective treatment plan. We recognise that some conditions require a more thorough investigation.
Our aim is to provide you with the best possible outcomes, helping you reach your full potential and treatment goals (set by you). The data gathered from our assessments plays a helpful role in tailoring your treatment plans. Just to give you the heads up, it's a tad strange and weird looking at yourself walking.
The Comprehensive Biomechanical Assessment: Unveiling the Full Picture
During a biomechanical assessment, we go beyond evaluating just the quality and range of movement. We also assess factors such as blood supply, sensation, foot shape and function, and their interplay with various aspects like disease processes, neurological issues, historic injuries, footwear requirements (including safety shoes), work routines, sports activities, body weight, previous interventions, and your expectations regarding recovery and future activities. Once we get to the crux of the cause of your problem, this is the start of your journey to successful treatment.
Prevention through Preparation: The Importance of Assessment
Are you gearing up for a marathon or simply aiming to get back into jogging for fitness? Just like elite athletes and Formula 1 teams, preparation and assessment are key. Our goal is to empower our patients with a deeper understanding of their unique combination of factors—addressing current issues while proactively preventing future problems related to pain, mobility, and performance. Prevention and healthy aging of the body is of vital importance to us here at Callen Olive Podiatry Clinic.
