Services
Orthotic Therapy
Custom orthotics realign foot mechanics by redistributing pressure away from painful areas. Our digital scanning technology ensures precise fit for treating heel pain, arch issues, and lower limb disorders. Unlike generic inserts, these prescription devices address individual biomechanical imbalances causing knee, hip or back pain. Patients receive ongoing adjustments to optimize long-term mobility outcomes.
Shockwave Therapy
This non-invasive treatment uses acoustic waves to accelerate healing in chronic soft tissue injuries. We employ it for plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and stress fractures unresponsive to conventional care. Sessions lasting 5-10 minutes stimulate blood flow and nerve regeneration without requiring surgery. Most patients experience improvement after 3-5 sessions spaced several days apart.
TOG GaitScan
Our pressure-sensitive mat captures 14 plantar pressure points during walking to identify abnormal biomechanics. This technology detects subtle asymmetries causing corns, calluses, and ulcers through 2D/3D visualizations. The data informs both orthotic design and movement pattern corrections for athletes and patients with chronic pain conditions.
Medical Imaging
On-site diagnostic imaging includes X-rays, ultrasound, and MRI referrals for accurate musculoskeletal diagnosis. These tests help identify stress fractures, tendon damage, and arthritis progression. Medicare bulk billing applies to eligible patients, streamlining access to essential diagnostic tools for effective treatment planning.
Paediatric Podiatry
Specialized assessments address growing children's foot development concerns. We treat in-toeing, flat feet, and sports-related injuries through gait analysis and developmental monitoring. Early intervention prevents long-term mobility issues while accommodating natural growth patterns through conservative, non-invasive approaches.
