A thorough gait investigation is performed prior to surgery in order to establish the cause of deformities and in order to assess the effect that surgery may have on the foot. The department of Foot surgery performs corrective surgery for many different types of foot deformities. Our Gait Laboratory was one of the firsts to be created in the UK. It is used to assess how people move. Wide ranges of people are assessed, with a large diversity of problems. The department sees children with growing pains, or walking anomalies. Adolescent children often attend with heel and knee pains. Many athletes do not use their bodies efficiently due to asymmetry and have repetitive injuries. A detailed gait analysis can lead to an improvement in gait though a variety of treatments. Changes brought about by treatment resolve pains and can prevent their recurrence. Our Gait analysis equipment measures pressure under the foot. It measures symmetry and asymmetrical movements, and the time taken on each foot part. Our slow motion gait analysis allows us to examine all body parts. Each part can be examined from the side, from the front and from the rear view. Our Podiatrists are trained to provide expert care for foot deformities. They diagnosed and provide non-surgical care for many foot and limb problems, deformities and pathologies. Some people are not suitable for surgery due to poor health, or cannot have surgery because they cannot take time from work to recover from surgery. Fitter Feet Podiatrists are experts in relieving foot pains without surgery where possible.

Prevention is always better than a
cure.

Inspect Feet Daily: Check for blisters, lumps, changes in skin color or flakey skin. Use a mirror to see the soles. For example verrucas found early are much easier to treat.

Prioritize Hygiene: Wash feet daily & dry thoroughly, especially between toes to prevent fungal infections like athlete’s foot. If left this infection can spread into your nails.

Trim Nails Carefully: Trim nails straight across and not too short. Incorrect nail cutting can cause ingrowing nails.

Wear Supportive Shoes: Choose footwear with a wide toe box. Ideally replace running shoes every 300 - 500 miles to maintain cushioning. Make sure your running shoes support you properly and you have no gait or postural problems that may cause problems.

Don't Ignore Pain: Pain in your feet, ankles, legs or hips should be treated as a "red flag".
It can be caused by a variety of things including an injury, over training, an illness, arthritis or poor gait. If you're not sure of the cause or treatment seek expert advice.

In most cases the same fungus that causes athlete's foot (& nail infections) can also cause 'jock itch' (tinea cruris).
This fungus can easily spread from your feet to your groin, via towels, hands, or clothing like underwear.

So to prevent the fungus from spreading, wash your socks and underwear separately.

Ideally wash socks at 60°C (140°F) as this is the established temperature to eliminate the dermatophyte spores.
If you can't wash socks at this temperature add a laundry sanitiser or antifungal detergent (e.g Lysol, Dettol) to the load.

This will also help stop your skin infection becoming a nail infection.

Ingrown toenails can be caused by cutting nails too short or too rounded at the edges, wearing tight shoes that squeeze toes, or a shock or blow to the nail. Our chiropodists are experts at removing part or all of the damaged nail.
