Podiatry Wanniassa
Experienced podiatrists with a wealth of knowledge, ready to get you back on your feet.
How Podiatry May Help You
You may not realise how important it is to care for your feet and lower legs. These intricate structures work hard to keep you moving. They require specific attention and care in order to be at their best.
A Canberra podiatrist, an allied health practitioner, focuses on treating conditions that affect the feet and lower legs. If you feel pain or discomfort in your feet, or your lower legs that makes it challenging to move as you want, a podiatrist might be able to assist.
Podiatry contains two main categories: General foot care and biomechanical podiatry – for sore feet and legs. Capital Podiatry focuses on biomechanical podiatry, a hands-on approach that is different from other podiatrists. Biomechanical podiatry allows us to understand your feet and provide the best approaches to get you back on your feet.
Treatment Techniques
Capital Podiatry near Wanniassa provides tailored treatment plans to ensure you get the best possible treatment. Depending on your specific needs and goals, this may include foot mobilisation, shockwave treatment, dry needling, and biomechanical assessments. We use hands-on therapy to help you feel better and get the best out of your problems, unlike other podiatrists.
Our Podiatry Services Near Wanniassa
CUSTOM ORTHOTICS
Orthotics are not a one-size fits all approach. We use the most advanced technology to create custom orthotics for your feet that fit the natural shape of your feet.
SWIFT WART TREATMENT
Warts are much more common than you may have thought. Although they’ve traditionally been hard to get rid of, the latest technology known as Swift Microwave Therapy we use at Capital Podiatry aims to speed up the process.
SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
Shockwave therapy stimulates the body’s own processes in an effort to treat conditions such as shin splints, inflamed ligaments, plantar fasciitis, and more. By applying a hand-held applicator to the skin, we use shockwave therapy with the aim of accelerating healing without needles, medication, or surgery.
INGROWN TOENAIL SURGERY
Ingrown toenails may be very painful and can even cause infection if they are not appropriately treated. We offer ingrown nail surgery for those with chronic ingrown toenails. This will allow you to get back into your favourite shoes in no time.
What We Treat
FOOT AND HEEL PAIN
We’ll examine your feet and determine if your foot or heel pain is caused by high-impact exercise, tight muscles, poor walking, or any other reason.
INGROWN NAILS
Ingrown toenails are painful and can even become recurring. Ingrown nails can cause complications, especially in people with diabetes. It is important to seek treatment. Ingrown toenail surgery can be performed if you are unable to wear your shoes or your condition is chronic. This procedure may take up to 45 minutes.
RUNNING PAIN
Pain during and after running can really affect an active person like you who is passionate about running. Our tailored treatment for running pain will include gait analysis, mobilisation, as well as customised remedial exercises.
PLANTAR FASCIITIS
Plantar fasciitis causes heel pain. It occurs when the thick band of tissue that connects the heel to the toes becomes inflamed, leading to pain near the heel that is often worse in the morning. While there are many treatments available, custom orthotics may be an option. They can help spread the pressure on your feet evenly.
FUNGAL NAILS
Fungal nails– an infection of the nail, nail bed, and nail plate– can take months to control if left untreated. See us at Capital Podiatry as soon as possible, where we may use our Lunula Laser treatment plus work to reduce toenail thickness, tidy up your toenails, and reduce the chance of the infection spreading.
BUNIONS
Bunions are a bump on the joint typically next to the big toe, and sometimes on the opposite side of the foot at the little toe. Custom orthotics and foot mobilization are possible options.
WARTS
Plantar warts are rough lesions usually found on the bottom of the foot which may cause pain or tenderness when you put weight on them. We aim to treat warts with Swift Microwave Therapy, the world’s leading wart treatment technology, in as few 30-minute sessions as possible.
ACHILLES TENDONITIS
Achilles tendonitis, otherwise known as tendonitis of the heel, tends to cause pain, tenderness, or swelling that may reduce your range of motion and flexibility. We evaluate your symptoms, lifestyle, and goals in order to design a treatment plan.
