It’s more essential to take care of your feet and lower legs more than you ever know. 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 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.
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.
Capital Podiatry near Bonython 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 some general podiatrists, we work with you directly to understand your concerns and address them as quickly as possible.
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.
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.
Warts are more common than you might think. The Swift Microwave Therapy, which Capital Podiatry uses, is a new technology that speeds up the removal of warts.
Ingrown toenails can be painful and may even lead to infections if not adequately 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.
Whether your heel and foot pain is the result of high-impact exercise, tight muscles, or even your walking style, we conduct a thorough examination to determine any issues and identify which treatment/s may be beneficial for you.
When you’re an active person who loves to run, pain during or after running can really get you down. 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.
Fungal nails (an infection of the nail and nail bed) can be very difficult to mend if it’s not addressed right away. Capital Podiatry will treat you with their Lunula Laser Treatment. This treatment can reduce the thickness of your toenails, clean them up, and decrease the risk of the infection spreading.
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.
Ingrown nails can cause pain and even lead to chronic problems. 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.
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. You have multiple options for treatment, but custom orthotics could be a good option to spread the pressure across your feet better.
Bunions can be described as a bump in the joint, usually located near the big toe and sometimes the opposite side of your foot at the little tip. For treatment, you can try custom orthotics, or foot mobilisation.
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.

We understand that pain can have a negative impact on your daily life, and it can prevent you from doing the things which you love.
