24.01.2022 We did it! As a result of all our hard work, we can finally transition back to the pre-lockdown restrictions.

17.01.2022 Now that we know a bit more about the plantar fasciitis, how do we fix the pain? There are a number of podiatric treatment options available and your podiatrist will create an individualised treatment plan for you. Customised orthotics can help do fix the alignment of your foot allowing a reduction in the amount of tension through the fascia band. Shock wave therapy can help to stimulate the tissue healing and reduce the pain. Home exercises can help gradually load the ligam...ent allowing fibres to align and strengthen meaning it can cope with higher loads. Depending on severity, it may require a period of activity modification to allow the tissues to recover then a tapered return to pre-injury levels. Top 3 DON’Ts: DON’T wear the wrong shoes aim to wear supportive and comfortable ones DON’T immediately resort to medications and injections these complaints usually respond best to a combination of treatments as a well-rounded approach DON’T push through the pain get help, get on top of your pain, and get back to living your best life! If you have heel or foot pain that you think could benefit from podiatry treatment or you would like some advice, give us a call on 6380 1941 or visit www.allsportspodiatryperth.com.au to book an appointment today.

16.01.2022 Meet our quiet but super disciplined podiatrist, Dr Fred Gao! But don’t be fooled by his fly under the radar personality, his knowledge on all things feet and lower limbs is mind boggling!! Fred graduated with a Bachelor of Podiatric Medicine at the University of Western Australia in 2013 and has been working in private practice ever since. He takes particular interest in high-risk foot health and nail surgery as well as assisting some of the most vulnerable of our society.... Fred is also fluent in Cantonese, allowing him to liaise with patients unable to communicate in English which can empower them with knowledge to help take control of their conditions. Fred works out of our West Leederville clinic on Wednesdays and Fridays and out of our Merriwa clinic most other days. Call us on 6380 1941 (West Leederville) or 9304 3060 (Merriwa) to book an appointment.

13.01.2022 Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common foot complaints in adult populations and a problem that our podiatrists treat regularly. But what is the plantar fascia and how does it become sore? The plantar fascia is a thick band of connective tissue running under the base of your foot. It originates under the heel and runs to the base of each 5 toes. The role of the PF is to support the arch of your foot and assist in shock absorption each time your foot strikes the ground. As... we spend so much time on our feet, your plantar fascia is subject to high amounts of load throughout your life. Whilst the exact cause of plantar fasciitis is still highly debated, this load as well as possible underlying bony spurs or microtears may lead to inflammation of the fascia causing pain and stiffness. Pain is usually described as a ‘bone bruise’ and is generally worse in the morning after resting or during the day after loading the foot. This problem can no doubt have a massive effect on day to day function, but there are a number of ways you can get on top of your pain. In our next post, we will discuss the treatment options and what you can do at home!! If you have heel or foot pain that you think could benefit from podiatry treatment, give us a call on 6380 1941 or visit www.allsportspodiatryperth.com.au to book an appointment today.
