Detailed Foot Assessment

A proper diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment at Foot Guru, This detailed foot analysis and evaluation helps our podiatrist identify biomechanical issues, nerve problems, circulatory disorders or structural abnormalities that may be causing pain or discomfort.

 

Biomechanical Foot Assessment

Biomechanical foot assessment includes the bones, joints, muscles and ligaments of the foot function during movement. This helps detect issues such as improper foot alignment, uneven pressure distribution and joint restrictions that may contribute to chronic foot pain or injuries. To support accurate diagnosis, our podiatrist uses advanced technologies including 2D and 3D foot scanning and Pedobarography. These tools allow our podiatrist to analyse foot posture, foot types, foot angles, arch structure and pressure patterns while standing, walking and running. Pedobarography provides detailed information about how weight is distributed across different areas of the foot, which is essential for identifying pressure points that may lead to pain, calluses or ulcers.

Neurological Foot Assessment

Neuropathy Foot Assessment

Neuropathy assessment is the systematic evaluation of nerve function to detect damage in the peripheral nervous system—commonly seen in conditions like Diabetic Neuropathy, Peripheral Neuropathy or vitamin deficiencies. Loss of protective sensation is critical in foot care.

 

Monofilament Test (Gold Standard in Clinics)

  • Use a 10g Semmes-Weinstein monofilament
  • Test 10 standard plantar points
  • Inability to feel ≥4 points = high ulcer risk

 

Sensory Testing

  • Light touch – cotton or brush
  • Temperature – HOT/COLD Machine
  • Vibration – VPT and 128 Hz tuning fork (big toe)
  • Proprioception – joint position sense

 

Motor Assessment

  • Muscle weakness
  • Foot deformities (claw toes, high arch)
  • Gait abnormalities

 

Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS)

  • Gold standard for confirming neuropathy
  • Evaluates nerve signal speed & strength

Vascular Foot Assessment

A vascular foot assessment evaluates blood flow to the lower limb—crucial for detecting ischemia, preventing ulcers and avoiding amputations, especially in patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease and Diabetes Mellitus.

 

Doppler Assessment Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) Advanced Tests (if needed)

  • Toe-Brachial Index (TBI)
  • Duplex Ultrasound
  • CT Angiography

Gait Analysis

Walking is a complex activity that involves coordination between muscles, joints and bones. Even small abnormalities in walking patterns can lead to foot pain, knee problems, hip discomfort, or back issues. At Foot Guru, our podiatrist performs detailed gait analysis to study how a patient walk or run. This analysis evaluates stride length, foot positioning, weight distribution and pressure points during movement. By carefully examining gait patterns our podiatrist can identify biomechanical abnormalities such as overpronation, supination, in toeing, out toeing or imbalance that may contribute to injuries or chronic pain. The results of gait analysis help us design personalized treatment plans that improve walking efficiency, reduce strain on joints, and prevent future injuries.

Foot Mobilisation

Foot mobilisation therapy focuses on restoring proper movement and flexibility in the joints and soft tissues of the foot. Restricted or stiff joints can lead to pain, reduced mobility and increased stress on surrounding muscles and ligaments.

 

At Foot Guru, foot mobilisation given by our podiatrist is used to gently improve joint movement, relieve stiffness, and restore natural foot function. This treatment is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing conditions such as heel pain, joint stiffness, plantar fasciitis or limited range of motion in the foot and ankle. By improving joint mobility, foot mobilisation helps enhance balance, posture and overall foot performance.

Sports Taping

Sports taping is a supportive technique commonly used to stabilize the foot and ankle during physical activities. Athletes and active individuals often experience significant stress on their feet, which can increase the risk of injuries such as ligament strains, muscle fatigue, and joint instability.

 

At Foot Guru, sports taping is applied by our sports podiatrist using specialized techniques to provide additional support to injured or vulnerable areas of the foot. This treatment helps reduce strain on muscles and ligaments, improve joint stability, and protect the foot during sports or physical activity. Sports taping can also help manage existing injuries and prevent further damage while the body heals.

Medical Pedicure

A medical pedicure is a specialized foot care treatment that focuses on maintaining both the health and hygiene of the feet. Unlike cosmetic pedicures, medical pedicures are performed by trained podiatrist professionals and are designed to address specific foot conditions safely and effectively.

 

At Foot Guru, medical pedicure treatments by our cosmetic podiatrist with the careful management of thickened nails, ingrown toenails, fungal nail infections, calluses, corns and cracked heels helps to maintain healthy skin and nails while preventing infections and complications. Medical pedicures are particularly beneficial for individuals with diabetes, elderly patients or anyone experiencing difficulty managing their own foot care.

Therapeutic Massage

Therapeutic foot massage is a relaxing and beneficial treatment that supports both foot health and overall well-being. Many people experience foot fatigue, muscle tension, and discomfort due to prolonged standing, walking or physical stress.

 

At Foot Guru, therapeutic massage techniques by our Musculo-skeletal podiatrist will help to stimulate blood circulation, relieve muscle tension, and reduce inflammation in the foot, Ankle and lower limb. Improved circulation allows oxygen and nutrients to reach tissues more effectively, promoting healing and reducing discomfort. Regular therapeutic massage can also help relieve stress and improve overall relaxation.

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is an advanced, non-invasive treatment used to manage chronic foot pain and soft tissue injuries. It involves the use of high-energy sound waves that stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.

 

At Foot Guru, shockwave therapy is commonly used to treat conditions such as plantar fasciitis, heel pain, Achilles tendon injuries, and chronic tendon inflammation. The therapy helps increase blood flow to the affected area, reduce inflammation and promote tissue regeneration. Shockwave therapy is a safe and effective treatment option for patients who have not responded to conventional therapies.

Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is a modern treatment that uses advanced laser technology to reduce pain and accelerate the healing process. The laser energy penetrates deep into the tissues, stimulating cellular activity and improving blood circulation.

 

At Foot Guru, Laser therapy is used to treat various musculoskeletal conditions affecting the feet, including inflammation, tendon injuries, chronic pain, neuropathy and diabetic foot ulcer. This therapy helps reduce swelling, relieve discomfort, and support faster recovery without the need for invasive/surgical procedures or after all surgical procedures in the foot for better and faster healing and restore the mobility.

Prolo Therapy

Prolotherapy is a regenerative treatment designed to strengthen weakened ligaments and tendons in the foot and ankle. Chronic foot pain is often caused by ligament instability or tissue damage that does not heal properly.

 

At Foot Guru, prolotherapy treatment given by trained podiatrist works well to stimulating the body’s natural healing response. A specialized solution is injected into the affected area to encourage tissue repair and strengthen supportive structures around the joints. Over the time this treatment helps to improve stability, reduce pain and restore normal function of foot and ankle joint.
