Tendon and ligament injury care in Ballymena

Tendon and ligament injuries can make every step feel uncertain. Whether you’re dealing with persistent pain around the foot, ankle, or lower leg, the cause is often more than just “overuse”. At Get In Step Podiatry, led by HCPC registered Chiropodist Dr. Elaine Hoey, we take a root-cause approach using specialist chiropody, gait and postural analysis, and biomechanics-led support. Our aim is to help you recover confidently by targeting the mechanics that may be driving strain and delayed healing.

We understand that a tendon or ligament problem doesn’t always stay local to the injury site. Foot position, loading patterns, and how your body compensates can influence stress at the ankle and up into the knee and hip. By assessing how you walk and stand, we can identify contributing factors and create a focused plan designed to support recovery and reduce the likelihood of flare-ups.

What you can expect at our Henry Street clinic in Ballymena:

• Clinical assessment of your symptoms, footwear, activity demands, and lower-limb alignment
• Gait analysis and postural analysis to pinpoint biomechanical drivers of tendon or ligament strain
• Targeted foot care to reduce pressure points, skin stress, and pain triggers during recovery
• Sports-injury and lower-limb support guidance, including practical advice for managing load and symptoms
• Orthotics discussion where appropriate, including custom support to improve comfort and biomechanics
• A clear recovery plan, with review to monitor progress and adjust support as you improve

In the Northern Irish healthcare setting, we’re committed to specialist, evidence-informed foot care that fits around your day-to-day life and your training or work routine. If you’re ready to move beyond “waiting for it to settle”, a consultation can help you understand what’s happening and what to do next.
