3D Footscan©
3D foot scanning is the most accurate way to determine the direction and distribution of force that can cause repetitive pain, injury and tissue damage.
What is a 3D Footscan© ?
At David Brown Podiatry our 3D Footscan's© are included as part of our biomechanical assessment and diabetic assessments. We use it to determine the direction, force and peak pressures that can cause pain and injury, combined with muscle and joint dysfunction or poor tissue viability.
A 3D Footscan enhances our podiatrists diagnosis of complex musculoskeletal complaints resulting in:
Heel Pain
Arch Pain
Forefoot Pain
Knee Pain
Hip Pain
Back Pain

What to expect at your appointment
History
Our MSK (musculoskeletal) podiatrists will take a full medical, medication, lifestyle & occupational history to determine whether any of these factors may cause or contribute to your presenting condition. This information is taken during a private consultation and stored on our secure database for your privacy & security.
Assessment
There are three elements to a Footscan©. Firstly, we assess you standing to analyse your posture. We then assess your balance to determine proprioception and muscle strength. Finally we analyse your gait (walking / running) to get a detailed dynamic report of your lower limb mechanics.
Treatment
One we have analysed the data, we can make a informed diagnosis and offer a treatment plan if necessary. Conditions caused by repetitive pressure and forces can be successfully treated by: modifying lifestyle, sport &, footwear. Strengthening & stretching exercises, orthoses (prescription insoles), shockwave and laser therapy.
