Foot pain in Dublin, diagnosed properly
Foot pain has dozens of causes, and the treatment for one can be the wrong treatment for another. The first job is always to find out exactly what is going on.
Lower Limb is a specialist podiatry clinic in Clontarf with on-site MSK ultrasound and our own orthotic lab. CORU-registered. No referral needed.
Find your foot pain
Where the pain sits is the first clue to the cause. Choose what fits best, or book a full assessment if you are not sure.
Heel pain
Pain under or behind the heel, often worst first thing in the morning. Plantar fasciitis, Achilles or several other causes.

Pain through the arch or along the sole, frequently mechanical and helped by correcting how the foot loads.
