You may not realise how important it is to care for your feet and lower legs. These complex structures are designed to keep you moving and require special attention to ensure you keep moving at your best.
A podiatrist is an allied health practitioner who aims to treat conditions affecting the feet and lower limbs. A podiatrist could be of great service if you experience pain in your feet or lower legs that restricts your ability to move around as much as you like.
Podiatry contains two main categories: General foot care and biomechanical podiatry – for sore feet and legs. Capital Podiatry focuses on biomechanical podiatry, a hands-on approach that is different from other podiatrists. Biomechanical podiatry allows us to understand your feet and provide the best approaches to get you back on your feet.
Capital Podiatry near Erindale offers tailored plans that ensure you get the most from your treatment. Depending on your specific needs and goals, this may include foot mobilisation, shockwave treatment, dry needling, and biomechanical assessments. 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. 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. Although they’ve traditionally been hard to get rid of, the latest technology known as Swift Microwave Therapy we use at Capital Podiatry aims to speed up the process.
Ingrown toenails can be painful and may even lead to infections if not adequately treated. Ingrown toenail surgery can be a great option for you if you have a persistent ingrown toenail/s.
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.
Pain during and after running can really affect an active person like you who is passionate about running. 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.
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 are a type of rough lesion that is usually found on the sole of the foot. They can cause pain if you put weight on them. We aim to treat warts with Swift Microwave Therapy, the world’s leading wart treatment technology, in as few 30-minute sessions as possible.
Ingrown toenails may be painful or even chronic. This means that the ingrown nail will keep recurring. Ingrown nails can cause complications, especially in people with diabetes. It is important to seek treatment. Ingrown toenail removal can be done if you become unable to walk or are experiencing chronic pain.
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. There are many treatment choices, but custom orthotics might be an option to help distribute the pressure more evenly.
Bunions are a bump on the joint typically next to the big toe, and sometimes on the opposite side of the foot at the little toe. Treatment options may include 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.
