Do you have pain in the back of your foot/ankle?
Rearfoot pain is something we see on a daily basis at ZW Clinics. There are so many reasons why you could be suffering with pain in the rear of your foot, and it is imperative that we identify the correct diagnosis before treatment. Rearfoot pain can be related to your biomechanics, your activity level, a previous injury or overuse.
We may see issues with the rearfoot for the following reasons:
Arthritis
Excessively pronated/supinated feet
Ligament problems
Trauma
Nerve entrapment
Adult acquired flatfoot
Tendon problems
Ankle injuries
Tarsal coalition
Your first appointment will need to be an Initial Consultation:
Initial Musculoskeletal (MSK) Consultation
Pain inside the foot or lower limb? Joint, muscle, tendon or difficulty when walking or performing your favourite activities? This is the appointment for you and is the first step on your journey to becoming pain free. In this appointment you will get the chance to have a one-to-one with an experienced podiatrist. The podiatrist will plan the best course of action moving forward.
The appointment you may need following your Initial MSK Consultation...

How To Treat Pain In The Back Of The Foot/Ankle...

How can we treat it: Orthoses/insoles, The Richie Brace, Rehabilitation programmes, Taping, Footwear modification, Steroid injection therapy.
Orthotics
Orthoses/Insoles come in all shapes and sizes. We have an expert team specialising in the prescription of Custom made and over the counter devices. All Custom devices are Cast via 3D Scan, Foam Impression or Plaster of Paris.
The Richie Brace
The Richie Brace is a type of AFO (Ankle Foot Orthosis) which is a specialist device for complex Foot & Ankle Pathologies. All Richie Braces will require Plaster of Paris Casting of the Foot & Ankle.
