We provide regular appointments for routine maintenance including - cutting of nails, dry/cracked heels, corns and calluses.

Diabetic foot care is especially important for the early detection of potentially serious neurovascular diabetic complications which may not only affect the feet but also overall health and wellbeing. We perform regular assessments on blood flow, sensation and skin/nail condition to prevent more significant concerns in the future.

Our clinic is equipped to assess and manage both acute and chronic wounds. This involves a thorough neurovascular assessment to determine healing potential and most appropriate method of care for optimal comfort and resolution.

Children are prone to a variety of foot conditions including ingrown nails, warts, foot/ankle/knee pains, sports injuries, muscle fatigue etc. Our podiatry team are trained to assess and treat a multitude of paediatric concerns in a fun, informative and friendly environment. Podiatry can also play a significant role in the early assessment, detection and prevention/management of many significant developmental conditions. An early biomechanical and neurological assessment can ensure that children are functioning and developing on an ideal pathway for injury prevention.

Sports injuries can stem from the lower limb in a number of ways. It may be a structural or functional problem, training overload or even inappropriate footwear. Treatment for these conditions may involve a variety of techniques including taping, shockwave, dry needling, stretching/strengthening, massage, orthotic therapy and footwear modification. We also work closely with other local health professionals to ensure a whole body approach.

Heel pain is one of the most common conditions encountered in a podiatry clinic. It can be caused by a large number of conditions including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy or nerve impingements. Depending on the presentation, treatment may involve taping, shockwave, dry needling, stretching/strengthening, massage, orthotic therapy and footwear modification.

Warts are a common and notoriously stubborn viral infection of the outer layers of the skin. They are caused by the Human Papillomavirus and can be very contagious if left untreated. There are a variety of medical and alternative treatment options available however some are much more effective than others. Our clinic routinely uses Swift microwave therapy for most effective treatment with no aftercare required.

The occurrence of calluses and corns is often caused by excessive pressure or friction however, can also be due to other factors such as skin conditions such as psoriasis, skin dryness or even footwear. Thorough assessment and regular debridement often provides relief and prevents further complications like cracked heels or painful deep corns. If corns become recurrent, footwear modification, offloading and alternative skin treatments can also be performed to ensure maximum comfort.

Ingrown nails are usually caused by a small spike or excessive pressure on the nail impacting the skin. This can lead to pain and possibly infection of the skin. Treatment involves conservative reduction of the nail to reduce pressure which generally resolves the concern and skin is able to heal. In some cases, a minor nail surgery may be required to permanently remove part of all of the nail to prevent further infection. This procedure can be performed in the clinic under local anaesthetic with minimal post op discomfort and no time off your feet.
