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!

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!

And we knock it out of the park! We LOVE helping kids during their important stages of growth, development and exploring the world around them. We're parents too - so we understand the impact that foot and leg pain has on the whole #family. If your child has foot or leg pain, is getting discomfort during sports - or you've noticed something unusual about the way your child is walking but you just can't put your finger on it... bring them in! Our Podiatrists would love to help them stay happy and active.

10.01.2022 Confusing terms explained: What is an anterior ankle impingement? When you have an anterior ankle impingement, it means that the joint at the front of the ankle is being pinched, compressed or wedged when you move your foot up on your ankle (toes towards the sky). This produces pain, swelling, restricted movement or a locking sensation, and even weakness around the foot and ankle.... We've shared all the why's, how's and treatment here: https://www.myfootdr.com.au//anterior-ankle-impingement-t/

08.01.2022 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!

08.01.2022 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.

07.01.2022 Summer is almost here Do you experience sweaty feet during the hotter months? It's no wonder sweaty feet can be an issue with over 250,000 sweat glands on each foot! ... https://www.myfootdr.com.au/category/kids-on-the-move/

06.01.2022 Plantar fasciitis is a cause of heel pain that we treat very often. It feels like: Pain at the bottom of the heel Pain that is worst first thing in the morning Pain that can ease after walking for a few minutes... Pain that comes on when standing after rest Pain that can radiate through the arch If you think you might have plantar fasciitis, get in touch - this is one of our specialities. If left untreated and if the fascia continues to be overused, the damage can worsen and a tear may occur.

04.01.2022 So your specialist has told you that you've torn your meniscus in your knee. But what does that mean?

02.01.2022 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/

02.01.2022 Are your shoes constantly rubbing against the back of your heels? We know - it's painful and frustrating. Here are the seven steps to stop your shoes from rubbing against the back of your heels: https://www.myfootdr.com.au//how-to-stop-your-shoes-rubbi/

01.01.2022 Thanks Mum, for being there every step of the way Happy Mother's Day to all the mums out there!

01.01.2022 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.
