What can podiatry do for me?

Optima Sports Medicine podiatrists specialise in treating any condition that results from poor gait biomechanics. This may include pain or discomfort in the feet, legs, knees, hips or back. Common ailments we successfully treat include Plantar Fasciitis / Heel spur pain, Achilles tendon issues, Morton's Neuroma, Shin Splints, Patello-femoral syndrome (Runner's knee) and many more. We also specialise in the treatment of acute sporting injuries such as tears, sprains and fractures, with a strong focus on injury prevention.

Our podiatrists are the industry leaders in orthotic prescription, prescribing the most appropriate orthotic for an individual's needs i.e. sport, occupation, footwear etc. We understand how important it is to get the orthotic right for YOU and consult a professional orthotic lab to manufacture our devices, both hard and soft, depending on your needs. We ensure detailed examination and assessment precedes the prescription of custom orthotics.
