19.01.2022 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 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.

15.01.2022 With so many restrictions and events this year, there's a good chance that taking advantage of your extras benefits with your private health fund has been the last thing on the priority list. There's now less than 3 months before the calendar year is over and you lose the extras that you pay a premium for. This includes claiming your orthotics rebate on a new or second pair of custom foot orthotics so you can get them with just a low gap*. Call us to book appointment or to discuss our orthotic options.
14.01.2022 Having one pair of shoes you LOVE is good. Two is even better, medically speaking. When you're wearing closed in shoes every day, you are constantly compressing and putting pressure on the materials. As your feet may sweat or they may get wet in the rain, they become damp. When they're damp, they wear down faster. This all means a SHORTER lifespan for your faves - and more money spent faster to replace them.... Our pro tip? Have TWO pairs of closed-in shoes you love and wear regularly, and alternate between them. This will give them a chance to dry and bounce back, and will prolong the lifespan of BOTH pairs

11.01.2022 Tired, achy legs at work - is it normal to be feeling exhausted on your feet every day when you come home? When our legs feel achy and tired at the end of the day, it is likely that the muscles have been overused due to an underlying problem or alignment issue. The best way to find out what's causing your discomfort is a biomechanical assessment, which includes a gait analysis, to understand what your bones, joints and muscles are doing while you walk, and why you’re experie...ncing your symptoms. From there, we can help alter the alignment to relieve excess strain from your muscles and reduce or alleviate that end-of-day tiredness! Ready to take the next step?
