Private Foot Drop Treatment in Leeds
If you're struggling with foot drop — whether caused by MS, stroke, CMT, a nerve injury, or post-surgical — an AFO (ankle foot orthosis) can significantly improve your walking safety and confidence. Unlike off-the-shelf options, a specialist assessment ensures the device is matched to your gait, condition, and lifestyle. No GP referral needed. Appointments available quickly.
Who This Is For
We Choose Wisely
Foot Drop Treatment Options - What's Right for You?
Foot drop is a symptom, not a diagnosis — and the right AFO depends on what's causing it, how severe it is, and your lifestyle. Off-the-shelf braces bought online are rarely matched to your gait pattern. As a specialist orthotist, we assess your walking, identify the most appropriate device, and ensure it works correctly from day one.
