Sports Injuries
At Gait Way Podiatry in North Lakes, we frequently treat athletes and have a special interest in managing sports injuries. These injuries often stem from underlying biomechanical issues. When the body is not functioning at its best, it can lead to compensatory movements, which may overload muscles, ligaments, and tendons. That’s why we conduct a biomechanical assessment; it helps us identify the underlying factors contributing to the injury.

-
Plantar fasciitis
