We recently had a patient who came in with an extremely painful toe. They had been to A&E twice, receiving antibiotics, but the pain persisted. That’s when they turned to us and our state-of-the-art diagnostic ultrasound scanning!
Our expert podiatrist, Sean Savage, performed the scan and unveiled the culprit: a significant synovitis on the 2nd MTPJ. This inflammation was likely a result of a hammertoe condition.
Our clinic’s holistic approach means treatment doesn’t stop at diagnosis. To alleviate the issue, we crafted a custom toe prop for the patient. This device will help prevent pressure on the joint during weight-bearing activities, a crucial step towards recovery.
Stay tuned for the patient’s return as we assess the effectiveness of the toe prop and make necessary adjustments. Our goal is always to get our patients back on their feet, pain-free!
So, if you’re facing unresolved foot pain, don’t wait! Our cutting-edge ultrasound scanning and specialist care could be the answer. Remember, with Feet First Podiatry, every step towards recovery is a step in the right direction.
