Feet. They are one of the most important and hard-working parts of your body. Just think about it for a minute, your feet are constantly working and straining. They carry your whole body, not to mention the amount of steps which you take on a daily basis. To top that off, most of us wear high heeled shoes or other footwear which might not be the best choice for our dear feet. Yet, even though our feet are quite literally one of the most important body parts that we have, most of us tend to forget to give them the time and attention that they need — right up until it's almost too late. 

 

Even though most foot problems can be solved with a bit of rest and some home remedies, seeking professional help and booking check-ups with your podiatrist is a surefire way to take care of your feet. 

You probably need custom-designed insoles

We can present you with a range of custom-created orthotics. These insoles are designed by us using a number of different materials. When crafting them, we take into consideration a number of factors. These include whether or not you are diabetic, your lifestyle, your weight and even how active you are. They will correct and optimise your foot's function, support your foot's arch and can even present you with an even weight distribution — taking the weight off sore spots in your feet.

They can help you prevent future problems

We at Amrita Footcare & Wellness Centre specialise in footcare, and can help identify, detect and tackle a range of foot problems or future ailments. Orthotics can help you deal with a number of issues, such as overpronation. This means that your feet are either flat or they have fallen arches. This condition can present you with a number of issues in your body, such as plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia, heel pain and heel spurs. It can also cause lower back or knee pain too. 

Long-term foot care

With our help, you can get custom-created insoles or shoe inserts. These are great when it comes to restoring your foot's natural function, and are a necessary tool to balance out the natural biomechanical balance of the lower body. Thanks to orthotics, you can realign your foot and ankle bones back to their neutral position. This means that you will be restoring your natural foot function and alleviate a range of issues which you might be encountering due to poor foot biomechanics. 

 

 

Children's foot issues can be prevented 

Children's feet need to be treated with great care in terms of mobility and general wellbeing. With the help of a podiatrist you can assess and check your child's development. This can help children walk 'correctly' and avoid common issues in children, such as nail problems, warts, flat feet, frequent tripping, in-toeing and other problems.

Say goodbye to chronic pain 

From swelling to numbness, difficulty walking and excessive pain, nobody enjoys having to deal with any of these ailments. Due to the fact that you are constantly using your feet to walk or drive, this pain can become a large part of your life that prevents you from partaking in enjoyable activities. With our help, you will be able to tackle these issues in a healthy and safe manner — and quite possibly say goodbye to them forever.
