Podiatry Gordon
A team of experienced podiatrists to help get you back on your feet.
How Podiatry May Help You
Caring for your feet and lower legs is much more important than you may think. These complex structures help you stay up and move, so they need to be looked after.
A Canberra podiatrist, an allied health practitioner, focuses on treating conditions that affect the feet and lower legs. If you have pain or discomfort in your feet or lower legs that stop you from moving around as you’d like, seeing a podiatrist may be of great benefit to you.
Podiatry contains two main categories: General foot care and biomechanical podiatry – for sore feet and legs. At Capital Podiatry we focus on biomechanical podiatry with a hands-on approach that differs from many other podiatrists’ methods. 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 Gordon uses tailored treatment plans to ensure you get the best out of your treatment. You may need foot mobilisation, shockwave, dry needling, or biomechanical assessments, depending on your individual needs. Additionally, unlike many general podiatrists, we use hands-on therapy so that we get a real feel for your concerns and make sure we address them as efficiently as we can.
Our Podiatry Services Near Gordon
CUSTOM ORTHOTICS
Orthotics aren’t a one size fits all solution. We use the latest technology to design and 3D print custom orthotics that support the natural shape of your feet, made just for you and only you.
SWIFT WART TREATMENT
Warts are more common than you might think. They’ve been difficult to remove in the past, but Capital Podiatry’s Swift Microwave Therapy is now able to accelerate 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. The aim of shockwave therapy is to accelerate healing without the need for medication, needles, or surgery.
INGROWN TOENAIL SURGERY
Ingrown toenails may be very painful and can even cause infection if they are not appropriately 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
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 may be painful or even chronic. This means that the ingrown nail will keep recurring. Ingrown nails can cause serious complications, especially for those with diabetes. 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
When you’re an active person who loves to run, pain during or after running can really get you down. Our customised approach to this condition may include gait analysis, mobilisation and tailored remedial exercises to help you get back on your feet.
PLANTAR FASCIITIS
Plantar fasciitis can cause pain in the heel. Plantar fasciitis is a condition where the thick band of tissue connecting the heel and the toes becomes inflamed. This causes pain near the heel that can often be 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
If left untreated, fungal nails, which is an infection of the nail, bed and nail plate, can be hard to treat. Capital Podiatry may be able to offer a Lunula Laser treatment. We can also trim your toenails and prevent the infection from spreading.
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. For treatment, you can try custom orthotics, or foot mobilisation.
WARTS
Plantar warts, which are usually located on the bottom of your foot, can cause tenderness or pain when you place weight on them. Swift Microwave Therapy, which is the world’s most popular wart treatment process, will be used to treat warts within as little time 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 will assess your symptoms, goals, and lifestyle to develop a personalised treatment plan.
