Long Gait Abnormalities Care
Gait (Walking) Abnormalities
Guiding You Towards Balanced Steps
Gait abnormalities, characterized by an unusual walking pattern, can result from various underlying conditions, ranging from foot deformities to neurological disorders. These irregularities can cause discomfort, imbalances, and difficulty in movement. At Island Foot & Ankle, our skilled podiatrists offer comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for gait abnormalities, aiming to restore your balanced stride and enhance your quality of life.
Our approach to your care begins with a thorough evaluation of your walking pattern, foot and ankle structure, and an understanding of any symptoms or associated conditions. Utilizing advanced imaging and gait analysis technologies, we can precisely diagnose the cause of your gait abnormality and devise a personalized treatment plan.
Treatment options at Island Foot & Ankle cover a broad spectrum and are determined based on the underlying cause of the gait abnormality. This could include physical therapy exercises to strengthen your muscles and improve balance, custom orthotic devices to correct foot alignment, and, in certain cases, surgical interventions to address structural issues.
