Lisfranc’s Joint Injury Treatment Cairns is provided by the professional team at FNQ Podiatry & Orthotics. What is Lisfranc’s (mid-foot) Joint Injury? The human foot can be separated into three main sections; the rear-foot consisting of the heel and ankle, the mid-foot containing smaller tarsal bones, and the fore-foot consisting of the metatarsals and toes. In simple terms, the Lisfranc’s joint is the connection between the metatarsal and tarsal bones. This major load bearing joint consists of multiple ligaments that intertwine between the bones and is primarily concerned with maintaining the arch of the foot. A Lisfranc’s joint injury occurs when there is damage to one or more of these small ligaments, resulting in loss of the structure/strength of the mid-foot. They are usually very painful and immediate treatment should be sought, to minimise the duration of your discomfort. FNQ Podiatry & Orthotics can help with assessment and preparation of an individualised Lisfranc’s (mid-foot) Joint Injury Cairns treatment plan.
If you are in need of a Lisfranc’s (mid-foot) Joint Injury Cairns treatment plan, then chances are you may have been involved in one of below three incidents, as these are the most common mechanisms in which a Lisfranc’s injury occurs:
As a Lisfranc’s joint injury can be graded into 3 categories, your Podiatrist/ GP will almost always refer you for a weight-bearing x-ray, MRI or CT scan. These images will highlight the severity of the injury and grade you into 1 of the 3 categories. Once we have established the parameters of your specific Lisfranc’s (mid-foot) Joint Injury, we can prepare an individualised Lisfranc’s (mid-foot) Joint Injury Cairns treatment plan for you.
Flat feet and lower limb biomechanics can cause lower back pain. We can help with a range of effective treatment options.
If you have knee pain, you might have Patellofemoral syndrome, which left untreated can become a chronic condition.
Active individuals often get shin splints. We can help with custom orthotics, massage and strapping.
Heel pain (Plantar Fasciitis) is the most common condition that presents at our clinics. We can help.
The average pair of feet walk approximately 200,000 km over the course of a lifetime - have you had yours checked recently?
