bio-mechanical analysis
A podiatrist specialising in Biomechanics and Gait Analysis studies the movement of the body, in particular the lower limb, and applies the laws of physics to identify the cause of numerous foot and lower limb conditions. These include –
- Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Pai
- Knee Pain
- Shin Splints
- Tibialis Posterior Tendonitis
- Lower Back and Hip Pain
- Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
- Mortons Neuroma
- Bunions
All the above conditions can be related to biomechanical dysfunction -
- Research shows that Biomechanical Dysfunction affects more than 50% of the population
- Treatment of the underlying cause will reduce the incidence of reoccurrence of an injury
- Diagnosis and treatment at an early age will help prevent some of the chronic degenerative injuries associated with old age
- Dysfunction correction not only resolves the presenting problem but also produces a more efficient gait
