Q. Do you look only at the foot, or at other places too?

A.

We look at the gait as well. Measuring where the pressure on the sole is concentrated is what shows why the same spot hurts again.

📝 Detailed Answer

At Jinju Dangdang Korean Medicine Clinic we do not look at the foot alone when assessing foot pain.

  • Treadmill gait analysis — we look at the movement while you walk
  • Foot pressure measurement — we see which part of the sole the pressure gathers on
  • Podoscope — we look at how the sole meets the ground while standing

Measuring this way often shows that the painful spot and the loaded spot are not the same. After treatment we measure again the same way to see whether it has changed.
