Bearing a significant amount of the body’s weight, your feet are much like the foundations of a building. If they are structurally sound, they shouldn’t cause any problems. But if they’re not in good shape, the whole thing will come crashing down. In the body, this means other structures will overcompensate for any lower limb dysfunction, leading to biomechanical imbalances, referred pain and possibly even headaches.
Thankfully, there is a whole field dedicated to the health of your feet—podiatry. Skilled healthcare professionals, Melbourne podiatrists diagnose, treat and assist in the prevention of foot, ankle and lower limb conditions.
They provide comprehensive foot care, ensuring that each patient receives tailored care plans and advanced treatment. On any day, they’ll see a diverse mix of patients with a range of musculoskeletal, circulatory and neurological disorders affecting the feet, including those suffering from foot pain.
