Foot and Joint Deformities Care/Treatment –
The Chiropodists at Think Feet- Family Foot Clinic, in Orillia, treat and care for foot deformities.
There are many causes for changes in shape of a persons foot. Causes can be arthritis, injury from trauma or footwear and congenital or systemic health changes. Some of these changes to feet are hammer toes, clawed toes, bunions, changes in arch profile whether it is a high arch or flat foot.
Another cause is Charcot Joint Deformities causing changes in the bone structure of the feet. In many cases, those with diabetes do not feel these changes happen. The arch of the foot can collapse producing a rocker-bottom shape to the foot or an ankle deformity. Foot casting, braces, or surgery may be necessary to slow these changes or stabilize the foot to prevent further deformity. During these changes, the foot can become warm and swollen, acting as if an infection is present. This causes misdiagnoses.
Chiropodists can assist with biomechanical assessment and gait analysis to determine a treatment plan to manage these changes. We will work with your health care team to improve your foot health .
