Services
Shockwave Therapy
Radial shockwave therapy delivers high-energy soundwaves to stimulate tissue repair and reduce chronic foot pain. Effective for plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, and Achilles tendinopathy, this non-invasive treatment improves blood circulation and accelerates healing. Patients typically require 3-5 weekly sessions with immediate pain reduction observed after initial treatments.
Swift Wart Treatment
SWIFT microwave technology targets wart tissue with focused energy to activate immune response. This 83% effective solution requires no anaesthesia or dressings, with most patients needing 3 monthly sessions. The treatment minimises scarring while addressing plantar warts through controlled thermal damage to infected cells.
Richie Brace
Custom ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) designed for complex conditions like flatfoot deformities and lateral instability. These lightweight braces stabilise rotational forces at key joints while allowing natural movement. Fabricated from patient-specific casts, they provide targeted support for chronic ankle pain and post-injury rehabilitation.
Nail Fungus Treatment
Low-level laser therapy targets onychomycosis without systemic side effects. The Erchonia Lunula device stimulates immune response and blood flow to clear fungal infections. Four 12-minute sessions achieve 89% success rates, restoring nail clarity without requiring lifestyle changes during treatment.
Sports Injury Management
Specialised assessment and rehabilitation for athletic injuries including shin splints, stress fractures, and runner's knee. Digital gait analysis identifies biomechanical inefficiencies while tailored strengthening programs prevent recurrence. Services integrate footwear advice and orthotic prescriptions to optimise sports performance and injury prevention.

Questions
Do I need a GP referral for podiatry treatment?
No referral is required for private consultations. However, we accept Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) and Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA) referrals for bulk-billed services.
When should children see a podiatrist?
Early intervention is recommended for foot pain, abnormal gait patterns, or family history of biomechanical issues. We specialise in paediatric care including growing pains and developmental assessments.
What parking options exist at Albury clinic?
Gardens Medical Centre offers level 1 open parking, basement undercover spaces, and street parking on Wodonga Place and Smollett Street - all with 2-hour limits.
Can private health insurance cover podiatry?
Coverage depends on your policy's extras level. We offer HICAPS direct claiming for immediate rebates from participating health funds during your consultation.
Are home visits available?
Unfortunately, we no longer provide home visiting services. Our wheelchair-accessible clinics in Albury and Lavington offer comprehensive in-clinic care.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Please bring current footwear, existing orthotics, relevant medical imaging, private health card, and any EPC/DVA referrals for claiming purposes during your consultation.
