What causes Plantar Plate injury?

Like other injuries in the foot and ankle, there is a variety of possible causes for Plantar Plate injury. Most of these causes are related to excess pressure on the forefoot:

  • Biomechanical issues
  • Bunions (Hallux-Abducto-Valgus)
  • Hammer Toes
  • Footwear with inappropriate heel height (high heels) • Jumping sports and forefoot striking when running
  • Irregular metatarsal length

If you have Forefoot Pain our expert Team can help with the diagnosis and management needed to get you moving again.

So happy with my new insoles that Jack prescribed after just one consultation for my various knee/hip/ankle aches that have now all miraculously disappeared! The insoles fit easily into all my footwear and I never go without them as they improve the comfort of trainers, walking boots, wellingtons, slippers and even work well in my Dr. Martens open sandals. No longer feel that physical decline has to be part of getting old! Thank you Jack.

I highly recommend Northernhay Clinic. I had orthotics made that cured long term foot pain. Although the orthotics were a significant investment, I feel that it was money well spent to be rid of pain. Jack is friendly and professionally competent; there is a relaxed atmosphere in the clinic.

6 years ago I had feet problems that affected my day to day causing me extreme pain when running walking and even just standing. Until I was recommended to come here where I meet the team and Jack having similar problems to me being very understanding managed to not only fix my problem but has now allowed me to be able to run half and full marathons. I cannot thank and recommend northernhay clinc enough for all they’ve done. Great team extremely professional and will always go back

I can't thank Northernhay clinic enough for the custom insoles they made for my flat feet! Since using them, I’ve had significantly less foot pain, and no longer deal with overpronation or rolling ankles. It’s been a game-changer for my daily comfort and stability. Jack from Northernhay clinic took the time to understand my issues, and his expertise and attention to detail truly made all the difference. Highly recommend!

I was recommended bringing my son here after being told he had flat feet and would benefit from insoles in his shoes. Jack and his staff were very helpful throughout the whole process.
