I suffer from hypermobility syndrome which means that my joints are unstable. I had been suffering from extreme ankle pain for six months. I became unable to stand for any length of time and unable to walk any distance. I attended the NHS Podiatry clinic and was given insoles. They didn’t fit my feet properly and didn’t help my pain. I searched online for an alternative clinic which specialised in my type of condition. I made an appointment at the Northern Ireland foot and ankle clinic and had casts taken for new supports. The Podiatrist explained that they design and make all their own orthotics so that the supports would fit my feet closely. Two weeks later I received my orthoses. I broke them in gently as per Davids’s instructions. I can honestly say that they have been life changing. I can now walk with a spring in my step and without pain in my ankles. I would definitely recommend this clinic for anyone with foot or ankle pain.
Caroline gets life changing support
Foot and Ankle Clinic – Thank you Caroline, it’s always good to get results like this. The devices we made were fairly standard design but had a slight modification to aid Caroline’s ankle movement.
