Chiropody/Podiatry
Podiatrists play a major role in the care of diabetic and the reumatoid arthritic patient.
Many conditions are treated under local anaesthesia - such as in-growing toenails.
Podiatrists are trained to analyse biomechanical and locomotor disorders which can affect posture and gait which in turn affects the feet, ankles, knees and back, resulting in pain - it can also work from the feet upwards.

Biomechanics
Feet provide the foundation for the whole body. A small structural or functional imbalance in the feet can cause problems in the:
- Feet
- Ankles
- Knees

- Back
- Neck
- Jaw
A biomechanical examination enables podiatrists to identify and treat functional faults.
The most common treatment for a biomechanical problem is the use of orthotic insoles to realign the body.
