Podiatry Special Interests

Foot & Heel Pain: At MyHealth Podiatry, we appreciate the debilitating effects of foot and heel pain, particularly from conditions like plantar fasciitis. We offer comprehensive treatment approaches tailored to each individuals needs. Management and treatment plans for plantar fasciitis include a combination of evidence-based therapies such as targeted stretching exercises, orthotic interventions to support the arch and reduce strain on the plantar fascia, activity modification advice, footwear assessments and recommendations. The goal is to provide holistic care, addressing both the immediate pain and the underlying factors contributing to the condition, ensuring long-term relief and improved quality of life.

Custom Orthotics: Custom orthotics are specifically designed inserts that are placed inside your shoes to provide support, improve foot function, and alleviate pain. They are individually tailored to your unique foot shape and biomechanics, offering personalised solutions for a variety of foot conditions and concerns.

Custom foot orthotics help by providing support, stability, and cushioning to the feet, helping to distribute pressure evenly and correct biomechanical imbalances. They can improve alignment, reduce strain on muscles and joints, and enhance overall foot function.

Using advanced technology, custom foot orthotics are 3D printed based on digital scans of your feet. These scans capture precise measurements and contours, allowing for the creation of orthotics that fit your feet perfectly. Special features can be incorporated into the design to relieve pressure points, provide additional support, and accommodate specific foot conditions. Arch support, metatarsal pads, and heel cups can be added to address individual needs and provide targeted relief for common foot ailments.
