The Podiatry Service was born with the aim of assessing and treating different foot problems. The team of podiatrists in this unit has extensive training and experience in clinical biomechanical exploration, personalized orthopodology, children's podiatry and sports podiatry. To do this, they perform the most complete biomechanical examinations, applying the most recent and innovative Tissue Stress Model from the United States, to diagnose, recommend and treat the different foot problems. We value patients with flat feet, bare feet, posterior tibial insufficiencies (posterior tibial tendonitis), metatarsalgias, talalgias (heel pains), tendinitis, and all types of foot problems.
With patient's exploration, and after taking the personalized mold of the foot, the podiatrist will obtain a mold using a three-dimensional scanner (Tecnoinsole Scan 3D®) and computer software (Tecnoinsole CAD-CAM®) for subsequent design and realization of your insole in the most accurate and accurate way.
What is a biomechanical exploration of ankle and foot?
Biomechanical exploration of the ankle and foot allows us to provide the greatest amount of morphological and functional data of his foot. We can understand and know in the most precise way, how the foot works or how he behaves during his daily social and sports activity.
What is personalized ortopodology?
To prescribe an insole under the taking of a mold that faithfully reproduces the plantar footprint of the patient.
What is sports podiatry?
The attention and podological valuation in the world of the sport is increasing every day.
In sports practice, the preventive and / or therapeutic podiatry developed by our team of podiatrists is based on a correct analysis of the athlete's footprint, study and analysis of the sports gesture, advice on sports shoes. The aim is to reduce the incidence of sports injuries and the improvement of sports performance.
Plantar fasciitis, femoro-patellar syndrome, and ileotibial splint syndrome are among the most prevalent sports injuries in the field of sports medicine. Podological alterations such as flat feet or pronated feet (pronator runner) are more related to processes of heel pain such as plantar fasciitis, tibial periostitis, stress fractures in metatarsal bones, etc. On the other hand, the cavus or supine foot (supine runner) is related to processes of tendinitis, lumbar pains, and pain in the external face of the knee. The introduction of a personalized orthopedic treatment adapted to the type of sport is an effective therapeutic alternative for the athlete who suffers this type of injuries.
