Military & Law Enforcement Lower Limb Conditions
UNDERSTANDING LOWER LIMB CONDITIONS
Overview
In Singapore, we regularly address a wide array of foot types, notably including flat feet. Our practice focuses on assessing, managing, and preventing lower limb issues, particularly for military and law enforcement personnel. As foot specialists, we handle diverse lower limb conditions requiring urgent intervention or the restoration of foot function, especially for individuals with chronic injuries accrued during their service.
Soldiers visit our clinic for several reasons:
Screening and Prevention:
We conduct assessments to identify and prevent foot problems before military service begins.
Assessment and Management:
We address pain and injuries related to military training, providing comprehensive management strategies.
Intervention and Rehabilitation:
We offer solutions to improve and salvage foot conditions that may have deteriorated during military service.
The human musculoskeletal system acts as a connected chain that distributes forces and manages stress. Unresolved issues in the lower limbs can trigger a ripple effect throughout the body. For instance, flat feet can impact the knees, hips, and spine. When enlistees transition from a sedentary to an active lifestyle, they face a significant increase in repetitive forces on their feet, which can quickly lead to new musculoskeletal pain or worsen existing conditions.
Most lower limb issues are detected during initial foot screenings. A comprehensive assessment of injuries and biomechanical abnormalities is crucial to develop an effective podiatric care plan.
Specialised military orthotics
We create custom insoles tailored to address various lower limb issues such as ankle impingement, flat feet, heel spurs, calluses, shin splints, and knee pain. Our orthotic insoles are specifically designed for the rigorous demands placed on military personnel, capable of enduring long hours of intense training and high loads. We provide thorough care to ensure effective results, whether you seek pain relief, improved performance, or prevention of future issues.
