Foot & Ankle

Your feet and ankles are the foundation of your entire body, supporting your weight and absorbing the impact of every step. When this foundation is compromised by pain or instability, it often leads to a chain reaction of dysfunction in the knees, hips, and spine. At Ridgeway Health and Wellness, we provide a multidisciplinary approach to lower limb health. By combining chiropractic adjustments with sports therapy and Mediloop technology, our Swindon team identifies whether your foot pain is a local issue or a result of mechanical imbalances further up the kinetic chain.

  • Frequent ankle sprains or a persistent feeling of instability on uneven ground.

FAQ

Yes. The foot and ankle contain dozens of joints that can become restricted. By adjusting these joints and ensuring your hips and spine are aligned, we can significantly reduce the pressure on your feet.

We recommend a multidisciplinary approach: chiropractic to ensure foot alignment, Mediloop to reduce inflammation, and sports therapy with Hannah Peachey to strengthen the arch and calf muscles.

If we suspect a fracture or significant structural issue, we can perform X-rays on-site at our Wroughton clinic, saving you a trip to the hospital.

Mediloop is a therapeutic tool that helps reduce inflammation and speed up tissue healing. It is particularly effective for stubborn conditions like Achilles tendinitis or chronic heel pain.

Not necessarily. Our primary goal is to improve the natural function and strength of your foot. If orthotics are required, we will discuss this as part of your comprehensive care plan.
