25.01.2022 Morton's neuroma is when the nerves running between your metatarsal bones (found at the base of your toes) become irritated and inflamed, resulting in a burning or sharp pain in the ball of the foot. Friction and pressure from the metatarsal bones on the nerve causes it to become painful and inflamed. This can be caused by poor footwear, biomechanical problems, flat arches or certain activities. Depending on the severity of the condition, our podiatrists can eith...er diagnose in clinic or refer you for an ultrasound. Treatment options include orthotics, footwear correction, anti-inflammatory agents and in severe cases, a cortisone injection. Does this sound like you? Don't suffer any more! Call us on (08) 6269 2038 and book an appointment today.

25.01.2022 GAIT ANALYSIS A gait analysis is an assessment of the way you walk. Our wonderful podiatrist will evaluate the way you stand and walk to see how your body moves. The point of a gait analysis is to understand your biomechanics and the effect it has on your feet, hips, lower back and limbs so that a diagnosis can be made and treatment recommended. It is important to seek a gait analysis if you are in pain, have had an accident, or are an athlete seeking to im...prove your performance. This evaluation will reveal if there are any areas that are over compensating in the body leading to imbalances elsewhere, which may be causing recurring pain. Are you suffering from lower limb pain? Ask your local podiatrist whether a gait analaysis could be beneficial for you by calling us on (08) 6269 2038

It requires the removal of part, or all, of the nail, under local anaesthetic.... Some cases where you may require nail surgery include: You have recurring ingrown toenails. You have a condition, such as diabetes, that may increase your risk of complications from the ingrown toenail. More conservative treatment has not worked. Are you suffering from an ingrown toenail?

17.01.2022 National Carers week runs from 11th of October to the 17th and aims to raise awareness of unpaid carers and their caring role in Australia. Currently, there are 2.65 million unpaid carers within Australia who provide unpaid care to family and friends. It is estimated that carers will provide 2.2 billion hours of unpaid care in 2020. This year’s theme is #WhyWeCare. It provides a platform for unpaid carers to submit their story about why they fulfill an unpaid carers role... and for non-carers, it provides a way for them to acknowledge and celebrate unpaid carers. As a healthcare organisation, we see many carers come through our doors, helping to bring our patients to their podiatry appointment and thus helping them prioritise their foot health. It is important for us to celebrate and thank these people who play such a vital role in helping us maintain the health of our patient’s lower limbs and prevent any further issues arising. Without their assistance, some of our patients would not have the ability to access podiatry, nor would they be capable of looking after their own feet which could result in complications such as hindering mobility. In honour of #Carers2020, head to http://www.carersweek.com.au/tell-us-why-you-care/ and submit your own story about why you care.

13.01.2022 With 2021 just around the corner, we're taking some time to look back and reflect on the year that was 2020. We know that the Covid-19 pandemic will always be what 2020 is infamously known for but as a business, 2020 marked some huge changes for us, as well as our own highs and lows. Take a look at our highlights of 2020: We opened 5 new clinics this year - Clarkson, Greenwood, Harvest Lakes, Hobson's Gate and Thornlie Podiatry.... We moved 6 of our Podiatry clinics to new and improved locations - Balga, George Street, Head 2 Toe, Nollamara, Scarborough Beach and Trigg. We welcomed 5 new Podiatrists - Adrian, David, Karthik, Suzanne and Veronica - and 2 new receptionists - Sarah and Teresa - to our team! We said 'Goodbye' to others and 'Welcome Back' to some. Podiatrist, Michelle Chi, went on maternity leave. Receptionist, Zara, came back from maternity leave and podiatrist, Jugat, left to go on extended leave to get married in Dubai! We know this year has been tough for many people in Australia and around the world. We count ourselves extremely lucky to have been able to have such a successful year and want to take the time to thank every one of our patients who have supported us during these difficult times. We would've be where we are without you.

13.01.2022 WORLD HEART DAY Amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic, those with CVD (Cardiovascular Disease) are at a greater risk.

This World Heart Day, the World Heart Federation is asking us to Use Heart to beat CVD. Using Heart is about using:... Your head to make better lifestyle choices so you are living a heart healthy life. Your influence as an individual to set an example or your loved ones.

09.01.2022 Did you know that in 2020, there are more people over the age of 60 than those under the age of 5 years old? This year’s theme of International Day of Older Persons is to raise awareness of the special health needs of older persons and their contribution to their own health, as well as recognising and appreciating health workers dedicated to maintaining and improving the health of older persons. In podiatry, older persons make up a major part of our patient-...base. As we get older, our feet flatten, widen and our fatty padding wears down, leaving the bones and joints in the feet vulnerable. Due to this, a simple foot problem such as a blister can have a major impact on the mobility and balance of an older person, hindering their independence. Our podiatrists are dedicated to preventing and managing all foot conditions in older persons to help them maintain their mobility and quality of life. If you are an older person, take your health into your own hands in celebration of this International Day of Older Persons and call us on 6269 2038 to see how our podiatrists can help you.
