Services
Heel Pain Treatment
Specialised treatment for heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis. Our podiatrists conduct gait analysis to identify biomechanical issues and develop custom treatment plans incorporating stretching exercises, footwear modification, and orthotic therapy. We address inflammation through evidence-based interventions to restore pain-free mobility for Melbourne patients.
Custom Orthotics
Precision-crafted orthotic solutions tailored to individual biomechanics. We conduct comprehensive gait analysis to design devices that correct alignment issues, alleviate pressure points, and enhance foot function. Our orthotics integrate seamlessly with patients' footwear for optimal comfort and effectiveness in daily activities.
Fungal Nail Therapy
Advanced treatment for fungal nail infections using PACT light therapy technology. This non-invasive procedure eliminates fungal pathogens while preserving nail structure. We complement treatments with preventive care education to maintain long-term foot health and prevent recurrence in Melbourne's climate.
Ingrown Toenail Removal
Minimally invasive ingrown toenail treatment performed by experienced podiatrists. We employ partial nail avulsion techniques with phenol application to prevent regrowth. Post-operative care includes infection prevention strategies and footwear advice to ensure complete recovery for Richmond patients.
Children's Foot Care
Specialised assessment and treatment for paediatric foot conditions. Our practitioners address developmental concerns, gait abnormalities, and sports-related injuries in children. We provide family-centred care with home exercise programs to support healthy foot development in Melbourne's active youth population.
