Podiatry

Podiatry is a branch of medicine devoted to the study of diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the foot, ankle, and lower extremity.

Here at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, podiatrists work in a variety of clinical settings, including outpatients, sports injury clinics and independent musculoskeletal clinics.

The specialist podiatrists help to run one of the only dedicated NHS heel pain services in the UK, which incorporates shockwave therapy as a treatment for long standing sufferers of heel pain.

To ensure optimal results for our foot and ankle patients, the podiatrists work closely alongside the Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeons.
