Foot, Ankle, Leg & Knee Pain

Dedicated to Comprehensive Personalized Care

Compassionate, Coordinated Care To Patients At All Ages

Understanding Your Pain

Foot, ankle, leg, or knee pain can make even simple daily activities — like walking, standing, or exercising — feel difficult. Often, these problems are not just localised to where you feel pain. Because your feet are the foundation of your body, if the joints in your feet and ankles are not aligned or moving properly, it may place extra stress on surrounding muscles and joints. Over time, this can contribute to discomfort in the feet, ankles, legs, and even the knees or hips. At EC Podiatry, we look at the structural causes of pain and provide treatment options that aim to restore movement and reduce strain on your body.

Plantar warts are frequently confused with corns, but there are several ways to tell them apart:

In terms of appearance, warts tend to be asymmetrical, resembling cauliflower, and often have tiny, visible black dots (which are blood vessels).

When it comes to discomfort, warts typically hurt when squeezed, whereas corns are more painful when subjected to direct pressure.

Additionally, their location can be a distinguishing factor. Corns usually develop in areas subjected to substantial, direct pressure, such as the sides of the little toe, the spaces between toes, and the balls of the feet.

Treatments available at our clinic for Foot, Ankle, Leg and Knee pain

Structural Podiatry

Structural podiatry focuses on joint alignment and movement. By using weight-bearing X-rays, our clinicians can see how your feet and ankles are positioned when you stand, helping to identify where stiffness or misalignment may be affecting your movement.

Treatment may include:

Gentle joint mobilisation and manipulation to improve movement
Corrective exercises to strengthen supporting muscles and improve function
Footwear assessment to ensure your shoes complement your treatment
Ongoing review, sometimes with follow-up imaging, to track measurable changes

This approach may assist with:

Heel or arch pain
Forefoot and toe discomfort
Achilles tendon symptoms
Arthritis or stiffness in the feet and ankles
Secondary pain in the knees, hips, or back linked to foot alignment

Orthotic Therapy

Orthotics are custom-made devices that sit inside your shoes to support your feet and redistribute pressure. Our orthotics are designed and prescribed to suit your activity levels, foot structure and lifestyle.
