Footscan©

3D foot scanning is the most accurate way to determine the direction and distribution of force that can cause repetitive pain, injury and tissue damage.

What is a 3D Footscan© ?

At Cornish Podiatry Clinic our 3D Footscan’s© are included as part of our biomechanical assessment. We use it to determine the direction, force and peak pressures that can cause pain and injury when combined with muscle and joint dysfunction or poor tissue viability.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR APPOINTMENT

History

Our MSK (musculoskeletal) practitioner will take a full medical, medication, lifestyle & occupational history to determine whether any of these factors may cause or contribute to your presenting condition. This information is taken during a private consultation and stored on our secure database for your privacy & security.

Assessment

There are three elements to a biomechanical assessment. Firstly, we assess the ranges of motion of the main joints of your feet, ankle and lower limbs to assess ‘your normal’. We then assess your posture to visualise the effect your feet have on your skeletal system when standing. Finally we use 3D Footscan© technology to analyse your gait (walking/running) and balance.

Treatment

One we have determined the cause of your condition we advise on the most suitable treatment plan to treat the presenting problem and prevent reoccurrence. Musculoskeletal conditions can be successfully treated by:

  • Modifying lifestyle, sports, footwear.
  • Strengthening & stretching exercises.
  • Orthoses – prescription insoles that redistribute load and prevent repetitive injury.
  • Shockwave and laser therapy that reduce inflammation and promote healing.
