How Podiatry May Help You
You may not realise how important it is to care for your feet and lower legs. These highly complex structures do all they can to keep you up and moving, and need specific attention and care to keep you performing at your best.
A Canberra podiatrist is an allied health practitioner who aims to treat conditions affecting the feet and lower limbs. 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.
Two major categories of podiatry include general foot care and biomechanical podiatry for sore legs and feet. At Capital Podiatry we focus on biomechanical podiatry with a hands-on approach that differs from many other podiatrists’ methods. We recognise that every person’s feet are different and we use the biomechanical podiatry methods to help you get back on your feet.
Treatment Techniques
Capital Podiatry near Gowrie provides tailored treatment plans to ensure you get the best possible treatment. This may include foot mobilisation, shockwave therapy, dry needling, and biomechanical assessments depending on your goals and needs. Additionally, unlike some general podiatrists, we work with you directly to understand your concerns and address them as quickly as possible.
Our Podiatry Services Near Gowrie
CUSTOM ORTHOTICS
Orthotics aren’t a one size fits all solution. We use the best technology to 3D-print custom orthotics that are made specifically for you.
SWIFT WART TREATMENT
Warts are much more common than you may have thought. They are difficult to eliminate, but Capital Podiatry’s Swift Microwave Therapy technology aims to speed things up.
SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
Shockwave therapy stimulates your body’s natural processes to treat conditions such shin-splints or inflamed tendons, plantar fasciitis, and other ailments. Shockwave therapy is applied to the skin using a hand-held application. It does not require medication or surgery.
INGROWN TOENAIL SURGERY
Ingrown toenails are painful and can lead to infection if not treated. If you have a chronic ingrown toenail or toenails, we offer ingrown toenail surgery that may be of great benefit to you and help you get back in your favourite shoes.
What We Treat
HEEL & FOOT 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 may be painful or even chronic. This means that the ingrown nail will keep recurring. Ingrown nails can lead to complications, for people with diabetics. Therefore, it is crucial that you 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. We take a tailored approach to your running pain and may incorporate gait analysis, mobilisation, and tailored remedial exercises in an effort to get you back up and running.
PLANTAR FASCIITIS
Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of pain in the heel. 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. There are many treatment choices, but custom orthotics might be an option to help distribute the pressure more evenly.
FUNGAL NAILS
Fungal nails– an infection of the nail, nail bed, and nail plate– can take months to control if left untreated. Capital Podiatry can help reduce the spread of fungal nails by using the Lunula Laser treatment.
BUNIONS
Bunions, which are bumps on the joint located between the big and little toes, can sometimes be found on the opposite part of your little tip. There are two main options for treatment: custom orthotics and foot mobilisation.
WARTS
Plantar warts (tender lesions that are found at the bottom of the feet) can be painful. Swift Microwave Therapy is the most effective wart treatment technology in the world. We aim to treat warts in as little as 30 minutes.
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 assess your symptoms, lifestyle, and purposes to create a tailored treatment plan.
