PODIATRY

COMMON FOOT AILMENTS

Podiatric Care for Adult Feet

Do you often experience pain in your feet, knees, hips, or back? Podiatry might be the solution. At Podotherapie Eindhoven, I help adults move without pain through personalized care, modern equipment, and extensive professional knowledge.

What is podiatry?

Podiatry is a recognized paramedical specialty focused on treating problems of the feet, legs, hips, and back. These issues often result from incorrect foot positioning, walking patterns, or overuse. Athletes and people with diabetes or rheumatism can also benefit greatly from podiatric treatment.

Common complaints in adults

Adults may experience various musculoskeletal problems, such as:

  • Heel spur or plantar fasciitis
  • Tired or burning feet
  • Pain in the forefoot or heel
  • Complaints caused by flat feet or high arches
  • Overuse due to standing or sitting work
  • Recurring knee, hip, or back pain
  • Instability or abnormal foot position
  • Rheumatic pain in the feet and joints

If your shoes don’t fit properly or you notice that your walking feels less smooth, podiatry can also help.

Personal assessment and treatment

At Podotherapie Eindhoven, I look beyond the symptoms. During your first appointment, I perform a detailed assessment to find the cause of your complaints and analyze your gait pattern.

What you can expect

  • Gait analysis with a digital foot scan
  • Inspection of your foot position, knees, hips, and posture
  • Optional pressure measurements
  • Advice on appropriate footwear or workplace ergonomics
  • A personalized treatment plan, such as exercises or custom podiatric 3D insoles

Foot Shape and Alignment Issues

Get a tailored solution to relieve pain and discomfort caused by flat feet, high arches, tilted feet, or congenital conditions.

TOE MISALIGNMENT

Podotherapie Eindhoven can help with issues caused by hammer toes, claw toes, or a misaligned big toe.

WORK OR SPORTS-RELATED INJURIES

Inactivity can aggravate work- and sports-related injuries. Treatments at Podotherapie Eindhoven help you stay active by focusing on possibilities rather than limitations.

TOENAIL ISSUES

Podotherapie Eindhoven provides treatment for various toenail issues, including ingrown toenails, nail inflammation, and fungal infections.

HEEL SPURS

Do you feel sharp heel pain when you take your first steps in the morning? This could be an indication of heel spurs, which are painful bone growths on the underside of the heel bone, often caused by prolonged stress and tension on the foot.

Morton’s Neuroma

A compressed nerve can cause burning pain in the forefoot and toes. Narrow shoes and high heels are common causes of Morton’s neuroma. I offer advice on footwear and make custom insoles to alleviate the problem.

Is Podiatry Covered by Insurance?

Advice on footwear

Address issues caused by poorly fitting footwear, including everyday shoes, sports shoes, and work shoes.

Skin Problems

If painful calluses, warts, or corns keep recurring after a pedicure, consider seeking advice from a podiatrist. Podotherapie Eindhoven identifies the root cause of these issues and provides lasting solutions.

Achilles Tendon Issues

Improper workout techniques, excess weight, and foot or ankle misalignments can strain the Achilles tendon. As a trained sports podiatrist, I offer advice and care for Achilles tendon issues.

Back Pain

Improper foot alignment and imbalanced walking patterns are major contributors to lower back pain. By measuring and correcting your foot alignment and gait, I provide a sustainable solution to relieve back pain.

Specialized Foot Care

Preventive and supportive care to help alleviate issues associated with diabetes mellitus and rheumatism.

Specialized care for athletes

Do you enjoy being active or engage in intensive sports? You may experience overuse injuries or sports-related pain. As a sports podiatrist, I help you prevent or recover from these issues. Thanks to my experience working with athletes, I tailor treatments to your specific movement goals.

Podiatry for rheumatism and diabetes

People with rheumatism or diabetes often suffer from sensitive, tired, or painful feet. Proper foot care is essential to prevent complications. I am specialized in diabetic and rheumatic foot care, focusing on prevention, monitoring, and personalized advice.
