Neurovascular Assessment
A neurovascular assessment is a clinical examination used to evaluate the status of both nerves and blood vessels in a specific area, typically an extremity like the arm or leg. This assessment is crucial for detecting neurovascular compromise, such as when there is impaired blood flow or nerve damage, which can occur due to trauma, fractures, or certain medical conditions.
The main elements of a neurovascular assessment include checking sensation, motor function, circulation, and the presence of swelling or edema. Sensation is tested by evaluating the patient’s response to light touch, pain, and temperature. Motor function is assessed through muscle strength and coordination tests. Circulation is examined by palpating pulses, checking capillary refill, and noting the temperature and color of the skin. Identifying these components helps clinicians ensure that nerves and blood vessels are functioning properly and can guide further treatment or intervention if abnormalities are found.
Gait Analysis
Gait analysis at PH Podiatry is a comprehensive examination of your walking and running patterns. We use advanced motion-capture technology to evaluate your stride, foot placement, and overall body mechanics. This in-depth analysis allows us to detect any abnormalities or imbalances that could lead to discomfort or injury.
Based on our findings, our podiatrists can recommend personalized treatment plans to address your specific needs. This might include custom orthotics, specific exercises, or lifestyle adjustments. By improving your gait, we help you achieve better alignment, reduced pain, and enhanced performance in your daily activities or athletic pursuits.
Verruca Treatment
Verrucas, also known as plantar warts, can be stubborn and painful. At PH Podiatry, we offer a range of treatments to eliminate verrucas and prevent their recurrence. Our podiatrists assess the severity of your condition and recommend the most appropriate approach, which may include cryotherapy, salicylic acid, or laser therapy.
We aim to remove verrucas with minimal discomfort and disruption to your daily activities. Our treatments are effective and often require only a few sessions to achieve the desired results. Additionally, we provide guidance on preventing future outbreaks and maintaining healthy feet.
