  1. How Can Podiatry Be Of Help In Treating Leg Complaints? Injuries or stressful activity for the legs like running or stretching can cause acute leg pain. Among the many manifestations of the pain, the prominent ones are stress fractures and shin splints. Even though stress fractures can affect the bones in any part of the body, it is the legs that are most commonly affected due to their greater exposure to stress activities. Similarly, shin splints affect the area around and inside the shin bone. The main causative factors are excessive training, running, unfit footwear and poor biomechanics.

  2. The Benefits of Podiatry When you have the option of visiting a professional podiatrist, why would you ignore your foot problems? 1. A podiatrist is capable of curing both minor and major foot complaints. Some minor issues like fungal infections, nail conditions and skin lesions are nagging problems that interfere with our fit and active lifestyle. Not all issues are minor and need an extra care. Bone deformations and diabetic ulcers are such complex foot complaints that need an immediate care. 2. Orthotics is an integral part of podiatry. The branch of podiatry is concerned with the support, alignment and functional improvement of the foot, ankle, knee, hip and the lower back. A reputed Mandurah foot clinicwould custom­made Orthotics to fit your feet with the help of latest advances in the world of biomechanics and technology.  As the success of the treatment very much depends on the right diagnosis, best clinics would implement measures like 3D laser scan for taking an impression of your feet. This accurate technology ensures a perfect orthotics fit for your feet. The comfortable footwear would help you prevent the common foot complaints like corns, verruca or bunions. 1. Minor foot complaints when ignored could transform into bigger issues like   if   the   bunions   are   not   treated   in   a   proper   time,   a   surgical intervention might become a necessity. If ignored for a longer duration, it might give rise to arthritis or toe displacement.  2. ‘Prevention is the best cure’­ nowhere else is it better applicable than in the field of podiatry. Regular check­ups could avoid many potential health   complications   as   podiatrists   are   experts   in   recognising   the potential problems.  Those suffering from diabetes should make regular appointments with a podiatrist in Mandurah. Ideally, the diabetes patients should pay monthly visits to the podiatrist. A majority of ulcers appear on the lower leg and if they are not treated at the proper time, the infection could spread and might even lead

  3. to   amputation.   If   the  diabetes  patients   would   pay   regular   visits  to   the podiatrist, the country could save millions of dollars. The multiple benefits of podiatry help people lead a healthy and active life. When you have the best options available in your locality, you should not ignore the issue.
