Keep On Your Feet

There are some things that always require you to go to hospital; things like heart attacks, strokes and severe allergic reactions are a no-brainer. However, there are also a number of things where we might sit there, contemplating our life-choices and Google: "do I need to go to hospital for an ankle sprain?" or "how quickly do I need to see a doctor for an ankle sprain?" and you'll get back answers that tell you plenty of nothing. 

Here are the most common things that can be seen in a foot clinic, instead of wasting hours in a hospital A&E*:

• Ankle sprains

• Ripped off nails

• Sudden onset severe pain in the foot when walking

• Infected ingrowing toenails

• Shooting pains in the feet

• Burning pains in the feet

• Numbness and tingling in the toes when walking

• Bent toes

• Sprained or bruised toes

• Broken toes

• Tendon injuries

 

*There are sometimes where the injury is so severe that you may need to go onto the hospital, however, Keep On Your Feet may be able to help you get a diagnosis faster, out of pain faster and can also reduce your waiting time because you have been seen and assessed prior to arrival at the hospital, and you will have a letter which explains the problem so you are triaged properly.
