It’s more essential to take care of your feet and lower legs more than you ever know. These complex structures help you stay up and move, so they need to be looked after.
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. Capital Podiatry focuses on biomechanical podiatry. We have a hands-on approach to podiatry that is unique among other podiatrists. Biomechanical podiatry allows us to understand your feet and provide the best approaches to get you back on your feet.
At Capital Podiatry near Chisholm we use tailored treatment plans so you’ll get the most out of your 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.
Orthotics are far from a one-size-fits-all approach. We use the best technology to 3D-print custom orthotics that are made specifically for you.
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.
Warts are more common than you might think. They are difficult to eliminate, but Capital Podiatry’s Swift Microwave Therapy technology aims to speed things up.
If not treated properly, ingrown toenails can cause pain and even infection. 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.
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.
When you’re an active person who loves to run, pain during or after running can really get you down. Our tailored treatment for running pain will include gait analysis, mobilisation, as well as customised remedial exercises.
If left untreated, fungal nails, which is an infection of the nail, bed and nail plate, can be hard to treat. Capital Podiatry can help reduce the spread of fungal nails by using the Lunula Laser treatment.
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 is the most effective wart treatment technology in the world. We aim to treat warts in as little as 30 minutes.
Ingrown toenails can be painful and may even become chronic, meaning the ingrown nail keeps recurring. Ingrown nails can lead to complications, for people with diabetics. Therefore, it is crucial that you seek treatment. Ingrown toenail removal can be done if you become unable to walk or are experiencing chronic pain.
Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of 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. You have multiple options for treatment, but custom orthotics could be a good option to spread the pressure across your feet better.
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. Treatment options may include custom orthotics or foot mobilisation.
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.
