Podiatrist Erindale
Expert podiatrists who have a wealth of knowledge and are ready to help you get 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 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, 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’s focus is on biomechanical podiatry. Our hands-on approach differs from that of many other podiatrists. 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 Erindale provides tailored treatment plans to ensure you get the best possible treatment. You may need foot mobilisation, shockwave, dry needling, or biomechanical assessments, depending on your individual needs. 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 Erindale
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
Ingrown toenails are painful and can lead to infection if not treated. 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. 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. We’ll take a customised approach to your running pain. This may include gait analysis and mobilisation as well as tailored remedial exercises.
PLANTAR FASCIITIS
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. Treatment options will vary, but custom orthotics may be a good choice for you to distribute the pressure on your feet more evenly.
FUNGAL NAILS
Fungal nails– an infection of the nail, nail bed, and nail plate– can take months to control if left untreated. See us at Capital Podiatry as soon as possible, where we may use our Lunula Laser treatment plus work to reduce toenail thickness, tidy up your toenails, and reduce the chance 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 (tender lesions that are found at the bottom of the feet) can be painful. We aim to treat warts with Swift Microwave Therapy, the world’s leading wart treatment technology, in as few 30-minute sessions as possible.
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 assess your symptoms, lifestyle, and purposes to create a tailored treatment plan.
