Conditions
Foot
Every step puts strain on the foot. We examine the heel, ankle and forefoot, provide targeted treatment and operate when insoles and therapy are no longer enough.
Surgery
Foot surgery
Many foot problems can be treated without surgery. If that is not enough, we plan the procedure with you and take care of the preliminary consultation and aftercare at the practice.
Preliminary consultation and aftercare
Diagnosis, informed consent and planning before surgery, check-ups afterwards, all at our practice.
Common causes
Possible causes of foot pain
Heel spur
Start-up pain in the heel in the morning, usually caused by an irritated plantar fascia under the foot.
Achilles tendon problems
Pain and swelling at the Achilles tendon, common in runners.
Ankle sprain and ligament injury
After an ankle sprain, we check the ankle ligaments and plan stabilization.
Hallux valgus (bunion)
Misalignment of the big toe with pressure pain at the ball of the foot. Insoles and suitable footwear help; surgery is not always necessary.
Ankle osteoarthritis
Often years after an injury. The aim is to relieve pain and maintain mobility.
At the first appointment, we listen and examine you thoroughly. If needed, we do ultrasound, X-ray and cone beam CT directly at the practice, so you receive the findings at the same appointment.
Without surgery
When surgery is not needed
Not every complaint needs surgery. Targeted therapy, which we plan and supervise with you, often helps.
- Shockwave therapy
- Insoles
- Physiotherapy
- Injections
