At Foot Corner, we specialise in providing cutting-edge treatments to alleviate foot pain and restore your comfort and function. Here’s a detailed look at the treatments we offer:
1. Biomechanical Assessments
Understanding the underlying causes of foot pain is essential for effective treatment. Our biomechanical assessments involve a thorough evaluation of your foot structure and movement patterns.
What It Involves:

- Use of advanced technology to identify imbalances or abnormalities.
- Customised recommendations based on your unique needs.
Benefits:
- Identifies root causes of pain.
- Prevents future injuries by addressing biomechanical issues.
- Helps in creating personalised treatment plans.
2. Orthotics
Custom orthotics are specialised shoe inserts designed to support and align your feet. At Foot Corner, we prescribe orthotics tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle.
How It Works:
- Using data from your biomechanical assessment, we prescribe orthotics that correct alignment issues and provide optimal support.
- Available for various conditions including flat feet, high arches, and diabetic foot complications.
Benefits:
- Relieves pain by redistributing pressure evenly.
- Improves overall foot function and posture.

3. Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. This therapy is particularly effective for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and heel spurs.
How It Works:
- High-energy sound waves are directed at the affected area, promoting blood flow and stimulating the body’s natural healing processes.
- The treatment is quick, typically lasting 15-20 minutes, and requires no downtime.
Benefits:
- Reduces pain and inflammation.
- Speeds up tissue repair and regeneration.
- Minimally invasive with long-lasting results.
4. Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is another advanced, non-invasive treatment option that uses light energy to reduce pain and promote healing. It is highly effective for managing chronic pain and inflammation.
How It Works:
- Low-level laser light penetrates deep into the tissues, increasing cellular energy and improving circulation.
- This therapy can be tailored to target specific areas, providing precise and efficient treatment.
Benefits:
- Accelerates recovery from injuries.
- Reduces inflammation and swelling.
- Safe and pain-free with no side effects.
