With the abundance of information available to us on the internet, it is often difficult to discern how best to treat our foot and ankle aches and pains. Varying levels of successful treatment can come down to finding the correct cause of why you are experiencing this pain in the first place, which is exactly the main role of a podiatrist – not Google, not your neighbour, and not any other health provider.

Other professionals may look at your symptoms, and perhaps give you general advice, but the role of a podiatrist is to look at both the symptoms and the cause and give you a diagnosis based on those two factors. By making your first step to recovery a Podiatry appointment, you reduce the potential financial cost of bouncing around to other health professionals, only to end up back at the podiatrist.

Now is the time to stop wasting your time and your money.

But I don’t know much about podiatrists?

Podiatrists are experts at the foot and ankle, and diagnosing the cause of bone or muscular pain is their speciality. Podiatry is a four-year university degree focusing on the lower limb, and then yearly continued education to advance skill sets, relating to the most current forms of best practice treatments.

Think of it this way, if you have tooth pain would you see a dentist, or your GP? You don’t need a referral to a podiatrist, so if you have a foot or ankle problem, it makes sense to see a foot and ankle expert.

Many health professionals treat a few areas of the body, but only one health professional’s job is to master the foot and ankle – podiatrists. Your money is worth more to you than spending it on a general opinion, rather than an expert’s opinion.

What it may cost you not to see a podiatrist…

Seeing a podiatrist first and receiving the correct treatment straight away can eliminate the inconvenience of debilitating foot pain, which can lead to time away from work, or prevent you returning to your normal exercise regime.

You might only need 1-3 treatments with a podiatrist, a cost-effective choice when considering the alternative of spending money on internet promises or sub-par quality products, only to then go back to a health professional and start all over again!

I find they give me inspiration, so whenever I’m feeling uninspired I get creating a new one or add to my existing one. There are no rules; the only prerequisite is dreams are required! Find images that resemble what you see in your heart.

You can also use the back of a door, a computer layout or your phone for your dream board, as they all work. It’s your vision board, so choose the format that suits you but always make sure it’s somewhere you’ll see it often. Mine sits above my desk where I work.

After it’s complete “Let go and trust” and believe in the vision you’ve created. Embrace your images, goals and dreams knowing in your heart they will come to you in their perfect time. Vision board dreaming allows you to feel inspired about your life and they bring hope to the soul all through the influence of images.
