Are you experiencing difficulty lifting the front part of your foot?
Here at the Podiatry and Gait Clinics, we encounter drop foot cases quite frequently. Whether caused by nerve injury, muscle disorders, or an underlying health condition, we can help. Drop foot, or foot drop, is often a sign of an underlying neurological, muscular, or anatomical problem.
We often use a combination of physical examination and advanced imaging techniques to determine the cause and develop a tailored treatment plan.

Treatment options include:
Physical therapy and rehabilitation
Ankle-foot orthoses
Nerve stimulation therapies

Acupuncture
Footwear modifications
Surgical intervention in severe cases
Medication to manage underlying conditions (e.g., anti-inflammatory drugs, pain relievers)
