Podiatry Calwell
Expert podiatrists who have a wealth of knowledge and are ready to help you get 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. We have a hands-on approach to podiatry that is unique among other podiatrists. 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 Calwell uses tailored treatment plans to ensure you get the best out of your treatment. Depending on your specific needs and goals, this may include foot mobilisation, shockwave treatment, dry needling, and biomechanical assessments. We also use hands-on therapy, which is not common among general podiatrists. This allows us to get to know you and your concerns, and ensures that we do our best to address them.
Our Podiatry Services Near Calwell
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 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.
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
If not treated properly, ingrown toenails can cause pain and even infection. Ingrown toenail surgery can be a great option for you if you have a persistent ingrown toenail/s.
What We Treat
HEEL & FOOT PAIN
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.
INGROWN NAILS
Ingrown toenails can be painful and may even become chronic, meaning the ingrown nail keeps recurring. Ingrown nails can cause serious complications, especially for those with diabetes. We can perform ingrown nail surgery if your condition gets so severe that you cannot wear certain shoes or have difficulty walking. It may take as little as 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, a common cause for heel pain, is typical. 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
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.
BUNIONS
Bunions occur as bumps in the joint. They are usually found near the big or little toes. 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. 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 (also known as tendonitis or tendonitis of your heel) can lead to tenderness, pain, swelling, and reduced range of motion. We evaluate your symptoms, lifestyle, and goals in order to design a treatment plan.
