Our Approach to Foot Treatment

Everything we do is aimed at relieving your foot pain and restoring your movement. How we get there depends on your situation. Our clinical approach covers four areas of treatment. Many of our treatments work across more than one area depending on your condition and how they are applied. Your consultation determines exactly which combination is right for you.

Relieve

Everything below has the same primary goal: relieving your foot pain and restoring your movement. The four approaches describe how we get there.

Preserve

Protect your foot joints and manage arthritis or chronic pain. Injections and treatments that reduce inflammation and maintain mobility.

Repair

Fix structural damage. Ligament injuries, cartilage defects, or joint instability. Surgical procedures that restore foot function.

Regenerate

Rebuild damaged foot cartilage using advanced biological treatments. Restore tissue lost to injury or degeneration.

Replace

When other options are exhausted. Joint fusion or replacement restores function, but only after we have explored every alternative.

How to use this page: Browse the four areas below. You do not need to know which treatment is right for you. The right approach depends on the nature and extent of your foot injury, your goals, your lifestyle, and factors that can only be fully understood through a consultation with Professor Lee. Many treatments span more than one area. Start by getting a sense of what is possible, then get in touch.
