Foot Pain

Typically we will see you when things have reached a point where foot pains and injuries need to be treated – so you can regain your freedom of movement and keep doing the things you love doing.
Feet are the first point of contact between your body and the ground. They undergo a lot of wear and tear in a lifetime and, as such, can present a variety of problems.
Please read further to see what sort of problems you may be experiencing or are worried about, and possible treatments we can provide.

Orthotic Therapy

Foot orthoses are shoe inserts designed to support, align, or improve the function of the foot. They are also often commonly referred to as ‘orthotics’. Orthoses fit comfortably inside your shoes. There are many different kinds of orthoses. The orthoses recommended by your podiatrist are prescription devices, custom – made to suit your individual needs and biomechanics (the way your body moves). People of all ages with a variety of foot or lower leg problems wear orthoses.

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a progressive treatment option used to help with chronic conditions which affect all parts of the body.
Radial shockwaves are high-energy acoustic waves passed on from a hand-piece held against the skin and dissipated outwards to painful spots into the underlying tissues.
The energy promotes regeneration and reparative processes of the bones, tendons and other soft tissue.

Running, Retraining & Rehab

At The Footcare Clinic, our Podiatrists are runners themselves and have a special interest in running mechanics. As podiatrists, we will assess your running technique using video analysis. This technology allows us to identify the specific factors which will help to settle your current injury, reduce the risk of future injury and improve your efficiency – as part of reducing fatigue and improving speed.

Dry Needling

Dry needling has been around for centuries. It is a form of treatment that uses a “dry” sterile needle, one without medication or injection, inserted through the skin into areas of overworked muscle, known as trigger points. Reducing the tightness in these trigger points often reduces pain and restores proper soft tissue function.

Diabetes Foot Care

Most foot problems in people who have diabetes occur when injuries – and often infections – go unnoticed and untreated, due to a loss of feeling in the extremities through nerve damage, or when healing is delayed due to poor circulation.

KeryFlex Nail Restoration

KeryFlex Nail Restoration is a procedure performed by a podiatrist to create a new toenail if the original nail is damaged or not aesthetically pleasing. The process of toenail reconstruction involves the application of layers of a special gel (made from medical grade resin) to the damaged nail/portion of the nail bed, onto which UV light is focused in order to harden the gel.

Children’s Feet

We commonly see children withdrawing from day-to-day activity and exercise because of sore, tired or painful feet and legs.

We work as part of the health care team, helping to assess and diagnose conditions that affect children’s feet and legs. We then address the reasons as to why the condition is present, guiding the young patient back to their normal activities that they enjoy!

Nail Bracing

Toenail Bracing is a treatment designed to improve the toenail shape and prevent the recurrence of painful ingrown or involuted toenails. Similar to the bracing of teeth used in orthodontics, toenail bracing aims to permanently change the position of the nail for better cosmetic appearance and permanent pain relief. The Footcare Clinic is one of only a small number of clinics in Australia that offer this unique service.
