Podiatry

Podiatrists are independent healthcare professionals who deliver palliative, preventative, biomechanical, pharmacological and surgical interventions to the lower limb.

Foot care is essential for overall good health and wellbeing, it is only when you experience foot pain that you realise the importance of your feet. This is why podiatry is a central part of the multidisciplinary team at The Complete Chiropractic Centre. Our aim is to improve your mobility, independence and quality of life.

Podiatrists do more than look at their patients’ feet. We can identify underlying disease processes which effect our mobility and well-being. With a concise medical history and a careful analysis of your biomechanics and physiology we can recognise factors which cause injury. We can then help prevent further damage.
