22.01.2022 Osteoarthritis If you have #osteoarthritis, it means that (for most people) the years of using your joints have caused the bone ends to deteriorate and wear down, so they can't move as smoothly and efficiently as they used to. This isn't a 'temporary' problem - but something that has developed over YEARS of strain and damage. This means that we can't 'fix' or 'reverse' this damage in your feet or legs. But what we CAN do is help reduce the pain and help you feel more comf...ortable on your feet! One of the ways we can do this is to create custom #orthotics made from a 3D scan of your feet, that help your feet absorb shock so they don't impact your joints at the same intensity, and help you walk more smoothly. We've found that reducing a patients discomfort by even 30% to 40% can make a massive difference on their daily lives. If this sounds like you - let us know! We'd love to help.

21.01.2022 It's World Diabetes Day In 2019, one in eleven adults were diagnosed with diabetes - but one in two adults remain undiagnosed. Getting a diagnosis is important because you get the care and the knowledge you need to take the best care of your health - including looking after feet.... As podiatrists, we play a massive role in helping manage the feet and legs in those affected by diabetes, with the goal being to keep the sensation and circulation in your feet 'controlled' - meaning we help you manage your risks and help prevent complications like foot ulcers. If you've been recently diagnosed with diabetes - or have had diabetes for some time but aren't sure about the effects on your feet - book an appointment with us today. We're here to help.

21.01.2022 Diabetic foot disease currently has mortality rates worse than many cancers, is estimated to claim an amputated limb every 2 hours, and costs the Australian healthcare system $1.6 billion annually. If you have #diabetes but aren't sure if you're taking the right care of your feet and legs - we can fill you in on what you need to know about: Your risks and vulnerabilities... Your current foot health status How to best protect your feet Signs and symptoms to look out for What you can expect going forwards Book in for your foot health check and we'll take you through everything - no prior knowledge about diabetes and your feet necessary!

15.01.2022 Many people have been lied to about #heelpain If you've ever been told you have #heelspurs just because you have painful heels, then today our 250+ Podiatrists would like to set the record straight. Just because you have heel pain or #plantarfasciitis, does NOT mean you have heel spurs! Here are the facts:... Heel spurs tend to develop over a long period of time, meaning that if you've just started having heel pain for the first time, it's unlikely that you have a heel spur and that it is the cause of your pain Heel spurs tend to develop alongside conditions like ongoing plantar fasciitis and achilles tendinopathy, meaning your heel pain is likely to have started before they were even present If you do have a heel spur, it doesn't mean that you need treatment for it. The majority of patients we treat with heel spurs have pain as a result of their plantar fasciitis or achilles problems - not the spur itself. Once we help them treat the cause of their heel pain, their pain tends to settle regardless of whether they have a heel spur or not Studies have been conducted that found that within a sample of people x-rayed, many will have a heel spur with NO heel pain (and that have heel pain and NO heel spur) So before you start worrying about your heel spur, come in for an assessment with our team so we can find out what is REALLY causing your heel pain - and help you with that.
