25.01.2022 FOOTWEAR ADVICE Good supportive footwear is essential for your feet especially growing feet. Children in particular require different footwear advice at different ages and for different activities. In some cases we recommend specific types of shoes to help with certain conditions such as an intoeing gait. We give advice on all types of footwear, for toddlers, school shoes, sports shoes and work shoes. The wear patterns on your current shoes tell is a lot about your foot mecha...nics and provide important information for the overall assessment so bring along any current or old shoes we can assess. If orthotic therapy is part of your treatment plan, your footwear is important and sometimes minor adjustments are required by your podiatrist. If the wear patterns are significant we may need to recommend new shoes before we issue orthoses. http://podiatry4kidsandadults.com.au/services/ See more

18.01.2022 DO YOU SUFFER FROM INGROWN TOENAILS? They can occur for all ages sometimes, even at birth and are common in age 12 to teenage years (sweaty feet that parents aren’t always monitoring closely!) Ingrown nails are most commonly the big toenails but can occur at any nail and result from a nail spike growing into the flesh of the toe. They are very painful often appear red and inflamed and weepy with pus. If left untreated they can become infected and require antibiotics. They are... often caused by not cutting the nail properly, poor fitting shoes or simply the involuted shape of the toenail. If you are in pain or suffering from an ingrown toenail give us a call on (03) 8680 4996 for an appointment. http://podiatry4kidsandadults.com.au/services/ See more

06.01.2022 A gait assessment involves watching you walk to assess the foot and the whole body’s mechanics to help diagnose either the pain/injury you present with or to advise you regarding potential issues that may arise as a result of poor mechanics. Your footwear wear patterns will also be assessed and tell us a lot about your gait. A biomechanical assessment includes assessing the foot and ankle for joint range of motion, joint positions and associated muscle/tendon tightness, leg length and pelvic alignment, hip range of motion, and the whole body’s posture on standing. This assessment is required to give the best advice regarding orthotic therapy if it’s indicated and to help us assess and advise you on the right treatment plan to resolve pain or prevent potential issues in future. http://podiatry4kidsandadults.com.au/services/

05.01.2022 Diabetics require specific assessments to assess vascular and neurological status which are completed annually and sometimes more frequently with high risk patients. This Assessment includes assessing your skin integrity, sensation and temperature, pedal pulses and ability to detect vibration. Routine foot care is often recommended so your podiatrist can keep a close check on your foot health. Diabetics are eligible for a Medicare Rebate on up to 5 visits per year but must be referred by a GP with an EPC plan and referral. http://podiatry4kidsandadults.com.au/services/
