Foot and ankle problems
Foot and ankle problems are very common, affecting three out of four people at some stage in their lives.
During the average lifetime, our feet cover over 112,000km, which is equivalent to walking four times around the world. It is therefore not surprising that 75 per cent of people will experience foot or ankle problems at some stage during their lives.
Our guide to foot and ankle conditions covers the most common problems including bunions, flat feet, Achilles rupture, ankle instability and arthritis. It is not diagnostic, but has been developed to help patients make an informed decision about their treatment.
Foot and ankle symptoms, causes and treatment
We include symptoms, causes and treatment for all the main foot and ankle problems. At The London Foot and Ankle Centre we offer multi-disciplinary care and we discuss all appropriate forms of diagnosis and treatment, including physiotherapy and podiatry as well as surgery.
Our emphasis is upon minimally-invasive treatment where possible and the use of advanced techniques to achieve maximum mobility and eradicate pain. All of our surgeons focus on the foot and ankle and are specialists within their field.
