Services
Moon Boot Fitting
Our podiatrists prescribe and fit immobilisation boots for foot and ankle fractures, ligament injuries, and post-surgical recovery. We ensure proper sizing and provide rehabilitation guidance to optimise healing while maintaining mobility. This service addresses acute injuries and supports tissue repair through controlled immobilisation.
Ingrown Toenail Procedure
We perform partial nail avulsions for chronic ingrown toenails using sterile techniques and chemical matrixectomy. The procedure offers permanent correction with minimal postoperative discomfort and immediate weight-bearing capability. Patients receive comprehensive aftercare instructions to prevent recurrence and ensure proper healing.
Orthotics
Our practitioners prescribe tailored foot orthoses for biomechanical correction, pressure relief, and gait improvement. We offer prefabricated, semi-custom, and fully customised options to address conditions like plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and diabetic foot complications through individualised footwear modifications.
High Powered Laser
We utilise therapeutic laser for pain management and tissue repair in musculoskeletal conditions. This non-invasive treatment reduces inflammation, accelerates healing, and improves circulation for conditions including tendon injuries, arthritis, and chronic heel pain through targeted light energy application.
Fracture Management
Our clinic provides comprehensive fracture care for toe, metatarsal, and ankle injuries. We conduct clinical assessments, immobilise injuries using appropriate casting techniques, and develop rehabilitation plans to restore function while monitoring healing progress through follow-up evaluations.
