A podiatrist is a health care practitioner who can assess, diagnose and treat disorders of the lower limb. The terms chiropodist and podiatrist are used by practitioners and are currently interchangeable terms. To become a podiatrist one must complete an honours degree level course which includes 1000 hours of clinical practice. Podiatry students study areas including anatomy, physiology, medicine, biomechanics, clinical practice and much more. Once qualified, a podiatrist is an autonomous practitioner who can deliver the treatment required for many problems affecting the foot and lower limb. Common problems that podiatrists will see in private practice include, verrucae, ingrown toenails, skin conditions, heel pain and corns, however, there are many more problems that a podiatrist can deal with. Podiatrists are currently regulated by the HCPC, you can check if any practitioner is registered through their website.

Good morning some useful information on ankle sprains.

Hypermobility – Ankle sprains

Hypermobility is a condition where joints have an increased range of motion and can be associated with an increased risk of ankle sprains. Podiatrists play a critical role in the management of ankle sprains in individuals with hypermobility. Here are some ways podiatrists can help:

1. Diagnosis and Assessment: Podiatrists can diagnose hypermobility and assess the severity of the ankle sprain to develop an appropriate treatment plan.

2. Customized Orthotics: Podiatrists can provide customized orthotics to improve the stability of the foot and ankle, which can reduce the risk of ankle sprains and improve overall function.

3. Exercise Therapy: Podiatrists can recommend exercise therapy to strengthen the muscles surrounding the ankle joint, which can provide additional support and stability to the joint.

4. Bracing: Podiatrists can recommend appropriate bracing options to reduce the risk of ankle sprains, such as lace-up ankle braces or ankle stirrups.

There is evidence to support the effectiveness of podiatry interventions in the management of ankle sprains in individuals with hypermobility.

For example:

1. A randomized controlled trial published in the Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association found that custom-made orthotics reduced the incidence of ankle sprains in basketball players with generalized joint hypermobility.

2. Another study published in the Journal of Athletic Training found that exercise therapy improved balance and stability in individuals with ankle sprains and hypermobility.

3. A systematic review published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that ankle bracing reduced the risk of ankle sprains in athletes with hypermobility.
In conclusion, podiatrists play a critical role in the management of ankle sprains in individuals with hypermobility, providing customized orthotics, exercise therapy, and appropriate bracing options to improve stability and reduce the risk of injury. The evidence supports the effectiveness of podiatry interventions in this context.
