Clinical Experience & Expertise

As principal clinician at Foot Impact, Dr. Sarika leads patient care with a focus on identifying the root cause of chronic foot conditions rather than treating symptoms in isolation. She leads workshops and training programs for doctors and physiotherapists, and is known among patients and peers for clear, practical education on biomechanics and treatment planning — helping patients understand not just their diagnosis, but why a particular treatment path is right for them.

Conditions Dr. Sarika Treats

  • Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
  • Flat feet and high arches
  • Gait abnormalities and biomechanical imbalances
  • Metatarsalgia and forefoot pain
  • Diabetic foot care
  • Sports-related foot and ankle injuries
  • Ankle pain and instability
  • Chronic, recurring foot pain of unclear origin

Dr. Sarika’s Treatment Philosophy

Dr. Sarika’s approach is built on the belief that most chronic foot conditions are preventable and treatable with correct diagnosis and targeted care. Rather than addressing only the presenting symptom, she works to identify the underlying biomechanical or gait-related cause — because treating the symptom alone tends to lead to recurrence. Patient education is central to her practice: every patient leaves understanding both their diagnosis and the reasoning behind their treatment plan.

Her Approach To Care At Foot Impact

Dr. Sarika’s consultations begin with a thorough diagnostic assessment aimed at uncovering the true source of a patient’s pain — often biomechanical or gait-related — rather than treating surface symptoms. From there, she designs individualized, conservative-first treatment plans, and works closely with the Foot Impact team on custom orthotics, rehabilitation, and preventive education to reduce recurrence and improve long-term mobility.

This Clinic has been instrumental in changing my life. I suffered from painful corns on the sole of my left feet for 4 years. I visited numerous doctors and even contemplated surgery! I have been treated by Dr. Sarika since 2014 and all the corns have vanished and I'm back to walking normal again. The care and attention to detail given to each patient is commendable and I recommend this clinic for any person suffering from foot problems.

Being a dermatologist I knew a plain nail removal was not the answer for pincer nails. So I found the foot impact clinic on Google. Both Dr. Sarita and Dr. Vilas did an excellent recce of my problem and got to the root of my problem. They are both post graduates with a master's degree ,highly experienced and brilliant at their work. I didn't expect much when I went there but to my absolute surprise I saw results within just a month. The nails have started growing out straight without any major surgery or nail removal.I will highly recommend them to anybody and everybody.

Dr Sarika is a blessing :) She fixed my ingrown nail issue, which was such a relief after weeks of being in pain. She is very gentle, professional and gave me a lot of advice for all my problems. This was absolutely worth it and I can only recommend her 100%!

I was suffering from foot corn for 4 years and tried everything including corn caps, surgery, and even laser treatment, but nothing worked. Then I found FootImpact on Google and started treatment on 1st December under Dr. Sarikh Jambhulkar, who clearly explained my condition and recommended specific footwear and insoles. I followed their advice properly, and within just 3 months, my corn completely disappeared. Today, I am pain-free and very satisfied with the results. If you are suffering from foot pain, don’t delay treatment—just follow the guidance and you will see results. Thank you to Dr. Sarikh Jambhulkar and the team!

Had an effective consultation with Dr. Sarika Jambhulkar. Doctors are polite and knowledgeable. I was asked to do a blood test revealing a deficiency which impacts bone strength. I purchased both insoles and indoor footwear from them tailor made to my condition.
