18.01.2022 When you have foot or #legpain or an #injury, your SHOE is NOT just a shoe. We actually look at it like a medical device that's going to keep your feet stable, controlled and supported throughout your #recovery They're going to control how much your ankle rolls freely from side to side, the way you put pressure through areas of the foot, the force and shock that goes through your bones when you take a step - and MUCH more.... That's why #footwear is such an important part of your treatment plan. You need to keep walking, right? But if the way you walk is one of the reasons you've developed that pain in the first place, then what's going to stop your pain from getting worse instead? That's right - your shoes. And some orthotics if we assess that you need them. Your shoes will become the ground you walk on - and you want that ground to be helping your recovery - not slowing it down. Need help finding the right shoes for your feet and your life? Our knowledgeable team can help!

17.01.2022 Fungal nail infections can spread within your household - especially if you're sharing showers, socks or bedsheets! We used to see so many patients that had tried the #antifungal creams and lacquers for their feet and nails with NO success that we knew that we needed to do something about it and offer a better solution. This is exactly how our antifungal LASER nail treatment came to our clinic! While the term #laser makes many of our patients excited at the innovation, i...t also makes some people hesitant because they're worried that it may be painful. Don't worry - laser therapy is PAIN-FREE! And we've been seeing success rates of up to 88% with it in our clinics - compared to 5-10% with the previous creams and topical treatments Come in and see if you're eligible for antifungal laser treatment by booking in with one of our #Podiatrists today!

14.01.2022 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.

12.01.2022 Have pain at the back of your ankle? Close to your Achilles - but it feels more bony? Os Trigonum Syndrome is a big cause of pain at the back of the ankle that we see particularly in those that are active in sports or activities that have you repetitively pointing your toes downwards. We've shared all about it here: https://www.myfootdr.com.au/co/os-trigonum-symptoms-causes/

10.01.2022 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.
