Common Issues We Treat
Your feet do a lot for you! While healthy feet are generally able to manage the forces we place on them, whether it be playing sports or simply moving through daily life, sometimes things can stand in our way.
Knee pain is no small issue. It may result from multiple causes such as an injury, a medical condition, or the gradual deterioration of joints over time.
Foot pain isn’t limited to sports injuries and posture issues. Your toenails and the skin on your feet are crucial to both your foot health and overall health, so proper care is essential.
Children aren’t just little adults. Their physiology differs from ours, meaning they often require different treatments and assessments than adults.
Structural and biomechanical abnormalities in the feet or lower legs may cause your body to unconsciously adjust to compensate for pain and discomfort. Over time, this may lead to other areas of your body, such as your hips or lower back, becoming painful and uncomfortable.
Those with diabetes and certain other health conditions might be more susceptible to developing foot issues than others.
Your Podiatry Treatment Plan
1. Assessment
Your podiatrist will perform a detailed assessment of the problematic area, incorporating a physical examination and gait analysis.
2. Diagnosis
Upon completing the assessment, we utilise this information to deliver a diagnosis. Additional x-rays, ultrasound, or MRI might be needed to further understand your condition.
3. Treatment
A personalised treatment plan will be developed by your podiatrist, considering your unique condition, lifestyle, and treatment goals.
What Is Podiatry?
Podiatry is a specialised branch of medicine that focuses on the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of foot and lower limb conditions. Although it mainly deals with foot issues, podiatry also covers the lower legs, potentially enhancing overall well-being from head to toe.
If you encounter foot-related issues such as plantar fasciitis (heel pain), arthritis, flat feet, sprains, or other conditions affecting your feet or lower legs, consulting a podiatrist may benefit you. Additionally, another healthcare professional may refer you to a podiatrist if they suspect your symptoms stem from your feet or legs, even if you are unaware of it. An experienced podiatrist understands the complexities of the feet, ankles, and legs and is committed to helping you attain optimal mobility and comfort as quickly as possible.
Our Approach to Foot Treatment
Posture And Biomechanics
The way you position your body during movement and rest can significantly contribute to any pain or discomfort you feel.
Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation methods for feet include dry needling, joint mobilisation, stretching, strengthening, and shockwave.
Walking Running And Falls Assessment
Assessing your gait and the way you walk and run may be useful in preventing injuries and avoidable falls.
Footwear And Orthotics
Correct footwear is a key factor in foot health, while orthotics may be fitted to a wide range of footwear types to help correct any biomechanical issues.
Ingrown Toenail Treatment
Treatments for ingrown toenails include conservative methods and surgical options, with care tailored to your individual needs.
Cosmetic Toenail Surgery
In some cases, removing a portion of an ingrown toenail may be recommended. We take care to do this with as little impact on the appearance of your feet as possible.

Common Questions
A podiatrist is a medical professional focusing on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions affecting the feet, ankles, and lower legs. They provide comprehensive care through physical examinations, medical history reviews, diagnostic tests, and various treatments, including orthotics, physical therapy, medications, and surgical interventions when necessary. Podiatrists also offer advice on foot care, footwear, and injury prevention to promote overall foot health and mobility.
Podiatry encompasses a variety of common foot and lower limb conditions, such as plantar fasciitis, arthritis, flat feet, sprains and strains, bunions, corns and calluses, diabetic foot care, ingrown toenails, heel spurs, and toenail fungus. Podiatrists deliver targeted treatments and preventive care to help relieve pain, boost function, and improve overall quality of life.
It’s advisable to see a podiatrist if you experience pain or discomfort in your feet or ankles, have an injury, or have issues with warts, bunions, corns, and calluses. People with diabetes should incorporate regular podiatry care into their ongoing management plan because of the increased risk of foot issues.
