Podiatry Treatment for Osteoarthritis in Chelmsford, Essex

At Chelmsford Physio, we provide expert podiatry treatment for osteoarthritis, helping you move with less pain and more confidence. Our personalised approach supports your mobility and improves your daily comfort.

Osteoarthritis is a common joint condition that often affects the feet and ankles. It occurs when the protective cartilage between your joints wears down, leading to discomfort and stiffness. You may notice swelling, reduced range of movement, and pain that worsens after activity or towards the end of the day. Walking or standing for long periods can become challenging, and you might hear grinding or clicking sounds in the affected joint. 

Symptoms can develop gradually, sometimes making it harder to spot early signs. Over time, osteoarthritis can affect your balance and mobility, impacting everyday tasks like climbing stairs or wearing certain shoes. Recognising symptoms early is key to managing the condition effectively. Understanding what’s happening in your joints allows you to explore the right treatment, including podiatry, to maintain movement and reduce discomfort before it significantly affects your lifestyle.

Podiatry plays a vital role in easing the symptoms of osteoarthritis, particularly in the lower limbs. At Chelmsford Physio, we assess how your joints, muscles, and walking patterns are working together. 

We may recommend customised insoles to reduce pressure on affected joints, improve alignment, and enhance comfort. These can help you walk more efficiently and with less strain. We also offer targeted exercises to strengthen supporting muscles, improve flexibility, and protect the joints from further wear. Simple footwear advice can make a big difference too, ensuring your shoes provide the right support for daily activities. 

For some, gentle manual therapy can ease stiffness and boost joint mobility. Our goal is to create a treatment plan that fits into your life and keeps you moving. With regular podiatry care, many people find they can stay active, reduce pain, and slow the progression of osteoarthritis symptoms.
