The Podiatry department provides care to patients who have a significant foot condition and a relevant medical history.  Many of these patients require ongoing treatment. We aim to keep patients feet healthy and pain free, thereby enable patients to remain mobile, independent and active for as long as possible. We treat a wide range of, mainly painful, foot conditions and aim to identify the cause and, where possible, seek a resolution. Treating both painful and painless foot conditions enables patients to remain mobile for as long as possible. Where lesions are painless this often increases the risk of developing ulceration…

It is often very difficult to distinguish between different causes of pain, especially when it has been present for a long time. As well as having inflammatory arthritis you may have wear and tear (Osteoarthritis), or a new injury, or chronic (ongoing) pain, and these will all be treated very differently. Chronic pain is particularly difficult to treat as there is no medical target. This is best managed with exercise, relaxation and stress management. You may find some of the links below relating to ongoing pain helpful.   Useful links: WVT Pain Management Service https://www.wyevalley.nhs.uk/services/community-services/pain-management-service.aspx Pain UK https://painuk.org/ Live Well…
