Foot drop treatment in Ballymena

Foot drop can make every step feel unpredictable, uncomfortable and worrying. If you’re struggling to lift the front of the foot, dragging toes, or noticing changes in balance, early clinical assessment matters. At Get In Step Podiatry, Ballymena, our approach is grounded in specialist chiropody, gait and postural analysis, so we focus on the cause of your walking difficulty, not just the symptoms.

Led by HCPC registered chiropodist Dr. Elaine Hoey, our clinic combines detailed assessment with professional biomechanics and gait analysis to help you understand what’s driving your altered stride. This specialist review supports targeted treatment planning, working towards improved walking, reduced compensatory strain and greater day-to-day comfort.

What you can expect:

• HCPC registered assessment to review your symptoms, walking pattern and lower limb mechanics
• Gait analysis in clinic to identify how foot drop affects your movement, posture and weight distribution
• Clinical care and treatment planning tailored to your needs, including biomechanical guidance
• Orthotic and footwear support options where appropriate, to encourage safer foot clearance and more stable walking
• Practical advice on daily management to help reduce discomfort and support function between appointments
• Clear next steps so you know what to expect from treatment and how progress will be monitored

Elaine’s philosophy is to deliver specialist, evidence-informed lower limb care with a supportive, patient-first style. Whether your foot drop is affecting mobility at home, at work, or during everyday outings, we will work with you to improve how you move.
