Within the field of podiatry, we deal with the treatment of musculoskeletal complaints. Common complaints of the feet, ankle, knees, hip and back result from incorrect posture or malfunctioning of the feet. Complaints can include muscle-tendon disorders, overuse or complaints of the skin or nails. Feet are the body's support base and interact with the entire posture. We therefore work closely with physiotherapists, general practitioners and specialists in the Hague area to help our patients as much as possible.

An imbalance or dysfunction in the feet can cause pain and/or result in other physical complaints. The podiatrist treats these physical complaints resulting from problems of the foot. They also treat skin and nail disorders and give preventive advice and shoe advice.
