MSK Podiatry
Musculoskeletal (MSK) Podiatry at Dulwich Podiatry
Foot pain can stem from injury, poor foot posture, or structural imbalances. Certain foot types are more prone to issues such as muscle sprains, tendon and ligament injuries, and even fractures. Misalignment in the feet can also lead to problems higher up in the body, affecting the ankles, knees, hips, and even the lower back.
Early assessment is key to preventing long-term discomfort and complications. At Dulwich Podiatry, we specialise in diagnosing and treating a wide range of musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions, including heel pain (such as plantar fasciitis), forefoot pain (metatarsalgia), and flat feet.
How we can help
To accurately diagnose the cause of your pain, we use computerised gait analysis, which allows us to assess how you walk and identify any biomechanical abnormalities. This cutting-edge technology helps us develop tailored treatment plans to improve movement and reduce pain.
Our treatments may include:
- Exercise programmes to strengthen and support the foot and lower limb
- Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) to accelerate healing and reduce inflammation
- Shockwave therapy for chronic tendon and soft tissue injuries
- Steroid injections for targeted pain relief
- Podiatric acupuncture to alleviate discomfort and improve function
- Custom functional foot orthoses to support and correct foot posture
Our goal is to help you move comfortably and confidently, whether that means returning to daily activities or performing at your best in sports. If you’re experiencing persistent foot or lower limb pain, we’re here to help.
