How We Can Help
Typically we will see you when things have reached a point where foot pains and injuries need to be treated â 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.
Some of the foot pain conditions we commonly help with are:
Sports Injuries can highlight an inability for your body to compensate effectively for your level of activity. The podiatrists at The Footcare Clinic are trained to treat all kinds of Sports injuries. Whether it is an acute injury, an injury that is recurring, or an injury that occurred many seasons ago that never seems to go away, you can trust us to get you back on your feet again.
We currently use shockwave therapy, dry needling, foot mobilisation and manipulation, orthotics, as well as stretching and strengthening programs to help treat all manner of sporting injuries.
Conditions we treat:
Foot orthoses are shoe inserts designed to support, align, or improve the function of the foot. They are also often commonly referred to as âorthoticsâ. Orthoses fit comfortably inside your shoes. There are many different kinds of orthoses. The orthoses recommended by your podiatrist are prescription devices, custom â 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.
Sports people are often prescribed orthoses by their podiatrist to help maximise their performance, as well as to address mechanical problems. Anyone suffering from a chronic foot or lower limb condition, which is limiting their mobility or independence, may benefit from wearing orthoses. Your podiatrist may prescribe orthoses for your particular foot problem after a comprehensive assessment, taking into account your own biomechanics, footwear, occupational and lifestyle factors.
We enjoy being able to help with all of your skin and nail concerns. We take pride in taking the time to care for your skin and nails so that they stay strong and resilient, helping to keep you active, healthy and happy.
