Foot & Ankle Orthority
I have a passion for education in foot and ankle medicine and surgery because this informs better decisions and treatments and helps patients back on their feed more effectively. I hope you find this resource useful, it is not an alternative to getting a diagnosis from a foot and ankle specialist but should aid your understanding and use this to guide patients.
Symptom Checker
Did you know that most foot and ankle conditions can be treated without surgery? Therefore family doctors, physiotherapists and podiatrists may have a really important role to play in helping ease symptoms or even treating foot.
Non-surgical Treatments
Did you know that most foot and ankle conditions can be treated without surgery? Therefore family doctors, physiotherapists and podiatrists may have a really important role to play in helping ease symptoms or even treating foot conditions without surgery and can be found in our Non-Operative Treatment Guides. We can also connect you to local therapists.
Condition Fact Checker
Our Patient Guides will explain the diagnosis that your doctor has given you. Register for in-depth information on the condition and find out about what they have told you. There are also Rehabilitation Guides for surgical patients that will outline a generally accepted recovery plan. Our Patient Stories will help you to understand what the experience of surgery is like and what you can expect.
Specialist Treatment Connector
Some patients need to see a podiatrist, physiotherapist specialist or foot and ankle surgeon. Our Condition Checker will advise what type of expert you need to see and who the local experts are.
