Podiatrist Fadden
A team of experienced podiatrists to help get you 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. 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.
Two major categories of podiatry include general foot care and biomechanical podiatry for sore legs and feet. Capital Podiatry focuses on biomechanical podiatry, a hands-on approach that is different from other podiatrists. In focusing on biomechanical podiatry we understand that your feet are unique, and use the techniques that aim to get you back on your feet.
Treatment Techniques
Capital Podiatry near Fadden 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. Additionally, unlike many general podiatrists, we use hands-on therapy so that we get a real feel for your concerns and make sure we address them as efficiently as we can.
Our Podiatry Services Near Fadden
CUSTOM ORTHOTICS
Orthotics are not a one-size fits all approach. We use the latest technology to design and 3D print custom orthotics that support the natural shape of your feet, made just for you and only you.
SWIFT WART TREATMENT
Warts are much more common than you may have thought. The Swift Microwave Therapy, which Capital Podiatry uses, is a new technology that speeds up the removal of warts.
SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
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.
INGROWN TOENAIL SURGERY
Ingrown toenails may be very painful and can even cause infection if they are not appropriately treated. Ingrown toenail surgery can be a great option for you if you have a persistent ingrown toenail/s.
What We Treat
FOOT AND HEEL PAIN
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.
INGROWN NAILS
Ingrown nails can cause pain and even lead to chronic problems. Ingrown nails can cause complications, especially in people with diabetes. It is important to seek treatment. 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
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.
PLANTAR FASCIITIS
Plantar fasciitis can cause pain in the heel. 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. 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, nail bed, and nail plate– can take months to control if left untreated. Capital Podiatry may be able to offer a Lunula Laser treatment. We can also trim your toenails and prevent the infection from spreading.
BUNIONS
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.
WARTS
Plantar warts (tender lesions that are found at the bottom of the feet) can be painful. 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 assess your symptoms, lifestyle, and purposes to create a tailored treatment plan.
