Foot and ankle problems

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. It is not diagnostic, but has been developed to help patients make an informed decision about their treatment.

We include symptoms, causes and treatment for all the main conditions. 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.
