Foot Dr Talks

Our Clinic

The word Podiatrist (‘podos’ and ‘iatros’) literally means foot/leg physician. The Family Podiatry Centre, therefore, offers treatment for all conditions of the lower limb. That includes the

skin eg	: athletes/ Hong Kong foot, dermatitis, nail infections etc.
joints eg	: osteo and other types of arthritis, gout, sprains etc.
muscles eg	: tears, strains, myofascial trigger points etc.
tendons eg	: rupture and partial tears, tendonitis etc.
nerves eg	: neuropathies, sciatica, post-polio limb, tarsal tunnel syndrome etc.
blood vessels eg:	: varicose veins, arterial and venous ulcerations etc.
bone eg	: spurs, leg length differences, fractures etc.

of your foot, leg and lower back.

We will evaluate and diagnose your condition then prescribe or administer the appropriate treatment. This may involve anything from orthotics to manual therapy to exercise. At the Family Podiatry Centre we always strive to seek conservative treatments first, since this is often the most effective way of treating conditions of the lower limb.

However, since your whole body rests on your two feet we would often treat upper body musculoskeletal pain by addressing anatomical anomalies such as flat feet or a leg length differences.

Upper body musculoskeletal conditions are then further addressed by our resident Physical Therapists and Dr Barry Kluner our Chief Chiropractor. The Department of Physical Therapy, headed by Edward Badua, covers all aspects of physiotherapy including rehabilitation, stretching, strengthening and various soft tissue techniques. The Department of Chiropractic evaluates and treats the patient wholistically. (read further under relevant profession)
