Sports Podiatry
Sporting activities such as walking, running and jumping, all place a greater physical demand on the body than your normal daily activities would. During running alone your feet can absorb up to 3 times your body weight and this increases significantly if your sport includes jumping as well. Not surprisingly a large majority of sporting injuries affect the foot, ankle and lower limb. Conditions which your highly trained Podiatrist at Wanneroo Podiatry can diagnose and treat include:
- Ankle sprains
- Foot and ankle pain
- Knee pain/ patellofemoral pain
- Heel pain (spurs)
- Arch pain/plantar fasciosis
- Shin Splints
- Stress Fractures
- Bursitis
- Achilles tendonitis
- Tendinopathies
- Metatarsalgia/Morton’s Neuromas
- Ingrown toenails or damaged nails
- Flat/Pronated feet

- Skin conditions: dry cracked skin, corns, callouses, verrucae (warts),fungal infections, blisters & rashes
