Questions people often ask

When should I get tingling feet checked?

Book an assessment if symptoms are getting worse, changing how you walk, stopping activity, recurring after rest or making normal shoes uncomfortable.

Will I need orthotics or imaging?

Not always. Orthotics, imaging or shockwave are only useful for certain problems. The first job is to identify the likely source of pain and the load or pressure keeping it irritated.
