Heel Pain Treatment
Our evidence-based heel pain treatment combines biomechanical assessment with targeted interventions. We specialise in diagnosing and managing plantar fasciitis, bruised heels, and bursitis through custom orthotics, footwear advice, and rehabilitation programs. With 95% of cases resolving through conservative treatment, our approach minimises recovery time while addressing root causes.
Sports Injury Management
Designed for active individuals, our sports injury management addresses conditions like shin splints, Achilles tendinopathy, and runners knee. We utilise professional sports protocols to create return-to-play plans incorporating gait analysis, footwear evaluation, and load management strategies. Our team works with elite athletes and weekend warriors alike to ensure safe, rapid recovery.
Bunion Correction
We offer comprehensive bunion treatment ranging from conservative management to surgical preparation. Our approach includes footwear modification, padding techniques, and custom orthotics to alleviate pressure. For severe cases, we coordinate with specialist surgeons while providing pre- and post-operative care to optimise outcomes and prevent recurrence.
Children's Foot Health
Specialising in growing feet, we treat conditions like Sever's disease and accessory navicular through growth plate management. Our team provides shoe fitting advice, strength programs, and activity modification strategies to address overuse injuries in young athletes while preventing long-term complications.
Skin & Nail Care
Our APHRA-accredited podiatrists manage complex skin and nail conditions including fungal infections, ingrown toenails, and plantar warts. We employ dermatological techniques like Cantharadin treatment while providing preventive care education. Specialised diabetic foot care reduces complication risks through regular maintenance and footwear assessment.
