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, 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’s focus is on biomechanical podiatry. Our hands-on approach differs from that of many 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.
At Capital Podiatry near Fadden we use tailored treatment plans so you’ll get the most out of your treatment. Depending on your specific needs and goals, this may include foot mobilisation, shockwave treatment, dry needling, and biomechanical assessments. We use hands-on therapy to help you feel better and get the best out of your problems, unlike other podiatrists.
Orthotics aren’t a one size fits all solution. 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.
Shockwave therapy stimulates the body’s own processes in an effort to treat conditions such as shin splints, inflamed ligaments, plantar fasciitis, and more. Shockwave therapy is applied to the skin using a hand-held application. It does not require medication or surgery.
Warts are much more common than you may have thought. They are difficult to eliminate, but Capital Podiatry’s Swift Microwave Therapy technology aims to speed things up.
Ingrown toenails may be very painful and can even cause infection if they are not appropriately treated. We offer ingrown nail surgery for those with chronic ingrown toenails. This will allow you to get back into your favourite shoes in no time.
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. Our tailored treatment for running pain will include gait analysis, mobilisation, as well as customised remedial exercises.
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.
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 (the world’s best wart treatment technology) is used to treat warts. It can be done in just 30 minutes.
Ingrown toenails are painful and can even become recurring. 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.
Plantar fasciitis causes heel pain. 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. Treatment options will vary, but custom orthotics may be a good choice for you to distribute the pressure on your feet more evenly.
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. Custom orthotics and foot mobilization are possible options.
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 will assess your symptoms, goals, and lifestyle to develop a personalised treatment plan.
