Assessment & treatment

Foot and ankle injuries are among the most common in sport, and among the most commonly underestimated. A simple ankle roll can involve ligament damage or an undetected fracture. Returning to sport too early is a frequent cause of ongoing instability and re-injury.

Mr Shalinder Sadiq assesses and treats sports-related foot and ankle conditions, from soft-tissue injuries through to fractures. Depending on the nature and severity of your injury, he will discuss whether structured non-surgical management or surgery gives you the best long-term result. The goal is a stable, pain-free foot and ankle you can trust.

Is this right for you?

Not every foot or ankle injury needs an operation; Mr Sadiq will explain your options and recommend surgery only when it's the right path back to full function.
