At Hip2Toe Podiatry, our Cairns podiatry surgery will be able to assess your hip pain, and determine the best podiatric management available for your hip pain. Foot function has a lot to do with hip positioning, and with over 48000 hip replacements in Australia every year, proper biomechanical examination of your lower limb is required, to ensure conservative management gives you the best chance of avoiding a hip replacement. If you have any specific questions to ask our Hip2Toe Podiatry team at our Cairns Podiatry surgery, do not hesitate in emailing us or phoning us directly. The excessive calcaneal eversion that takes place in many people’s gait, will lead to excessive internal rotation of the neck of the femur, where it enters the hip at the acetabulum. Our Cairns podiatry facilities allow complete biomechanical examination to take place. This will pinpoint areas of concern and allow us to diagnoses and prescribe relevant management for your condition. For more information on foot function, check on our podiatry services page.
