23.01.2022 Do you have UGLY NAILS? It may be nail fungus!! For many people it stops them from wearing open shoes and with summer coming that just isn't right!... Thankfully there's a cure that is non-invasive, painless and best of all can be used on anyone! Lunula Laser is the gold standard of non-pharmaceutical nail fungus therapy by not only destroying the fungal nasties in the toenail but through a SECOND treatment beam also stimulates healthy nail growth!!! No other nail fungus treatment offers this unique two-pronged approach. Book a consultation today to get ready for summer!!

22.01.2022 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/

20.01.2022 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.

18.01.2022 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.

14.01.2022 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/

12.01.2022 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!
