SERVICES
Welcome to Newcastle Foot Clinic Ltd
Newcastle Foot Clinic Ltd, established 2003. Newcastle Foot Clinic is a well established, busy Podiatry, Chiropody service that provides a friendly yet professional service to the North East and beyond.
Chiropody
The Chiropody service is the treatment that most visitors to our clinic will require. A session will last approximately half an hour, during which time the majority of foot problems can be treated.
Following an initial consultation, in which the chiropodist will take your personal details, medical information and discuss any problems or concerns you have. The chiropodist will then tend to your feet, your nails will be inspected trimmed and filed and any problems treated, callous (hard skin) removed, corns treated, an all round service for the feet. The session finishes with a relaxing foot massage and any advice needed will be given and questions answered.
Biomechanical Assessment
Initailly a detailed history of both medical and presenting problems will be taken.
A detailed footwear assessment and advice given.
A podiatrist will then observe and measure the range of joint motion, muscle strength and flexibility, looking for misalignments in the feet legs pelvis and shoulders. Assessing any postural problems within the skeletal system which may be causing pain or discomfort. That could arising from the foot or the lower limb.
Weight bearing and none weight bearing assessments, observations of walking bare footed and in footwear will be made.
After the assessment a weight bearing or none weight bearing cast of the foot will be taken to produce a pair of bespoke orthotics (made to measure insoles), if required.
Orthotics
Orthotics are special bespoke insoles which are worn inside your shoes. They are manufactured from a cast of your feet and are used to treat or adjust various biomechanical disorders and injuries throughout the body. Orthotics, are custom made from a prescription using a variety of materials depending on your particular needs.
Who should use an Orthotic?
Because perfect feet are very rare, almost anyone can benefit from orthotics. They can prevent and alleviate many of the common foot complications that cause discomfort in otherwise healthy people. An analogy can be made between orthotics and eyeglasses. Both adjust bodily imperfections that inhibit people from functioning at their maximum physical potential.
Neurological Assessment
A series of clinical and visual tests will be carried out by the Podiatrist to evaluate the status of the neurological and vascular systems.
