Foot and Ankle Pain Palma
Foot and ankle pain treatment in Palma de Mallorca. Plantar fasciitis, shockwave therapy, custom insoles, cryotherapy. Book appointment now.
Diagnosing foot and ankle problems includes a clinical gait assessment, X-rays and ultrasound. DIERS 4D gait analysis identifies biomechanical issues that contribute to pain and injury.
We assess foot alignment, arch height, ankle stability and weight distribution. MRI may be needed for ligament injuries, Achilles tendon problems or stress fractures.
Our goal is to avoid foot surgery whenever possible. The majority of foot and ankle problems respond well to non-surgical treatment.
Shockwave therapy is an established conservative option for plantar fasciitis and heel spurs, described in clinical guidelines and published studies. Custom orthopaedic insoles correct biomechanical imbalances and can help prevent recurrence.
Cryotherapy at -110°C reduces inflammation and accelerates recovery, particularly after ankle sprains and overuse injuries.
Foot and Ankle Specialist in Palma de Mallorca
The foot and ankle bear the full weight of the body and are essential for every step. At our practice in Palma we treat a wide range of foot and ankle conditions with a conservative approach that prioritises non-surgical solutions.
Common Foot and Ankle Conditions
- Plantar fasciitis: The most common cause of heel pain
- Heel spurs: Bony growths on the calcaneus
- Ankle sprains: Ligament injuries from twisting
- Achilles tendinitis: Inflammation of the Achilles tendon
- Bunions (hallux valgus): Toe deformity with pain
- Metatarsalgia: Pain in the ball of the foot
Shockwave Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy is the gold standard for chronic plantar fasciitis. It stimulates blood flow, promotes tissue repair and breaks up calcium deposits. The treatment is performed in the clinic without anaesthesia and most patients experience significant improvement within 3–5 sessions.
Custom Orthopaedic Insoles
Based on DIERS 4D gait analysis, we design custom insoles that correct foot alignment and redistribute pressure. This addresses the root cause of many foot problems and also benefits the knees, hips and lower back.
Cryotherapy for Foot and Ankle Recovery
Whole-body cryotherapy at -110°C is particularly effective for inflammatory conditions of the foot and ankle. Runners and hikers in Mallorca benefit greatly from cryotherapy for faster recovery after training and competition.
