Podiatry Gowrie
A team of experienced podiatrists to help get you back on your feet.
How Podiatry May Help You
It’s more essential to take care of your feet and lower legs more than you ever know. These complex structures are designed to keep you moving and require special attention to ensure you keep moving at your best.
A Canberra 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.
Two main types of podiatry are general foot care, and biomechanical podiatry (for sore feet and legs). 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.
Treatment Techniques
Capital Podiatry near Gowrie uses tailored treatment plans to ensure you get the best out of your treatment. You may need foot mobilisation, shockwave, dry needling, or biomechanical assessments, depending on your individual needs. 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 Gowrie
CUSTOM ORTHOTICS
Orthotics aren’t a one size fits all solution. We use the best technology to 3D-print custom orthotics that are made specifically for you.
SWIFT WART TREATMENT
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.
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. The aim of shockwave therapy is to accelerate healing without the need for medication, needles, or surgery.
INGROWN TOENAIL SURGERY
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.
What We Treat
HEEL & FOOT 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 toenails are painful and can even become recurring. Ingrown nails can cause complications, especially in people with diabetes. It is important to seek treatment. If you get to the point where you can’t wear some of your shoes and/or your condition becomes chronic, we provide ingrown toenail surgery which may take as little as 45 minutes.
RUNNING PAIN
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.
PLANTAR FASCIITIS
Plantar fasciitis can cause 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. 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. 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, 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.
WARTS
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, which is the world’s most popular wart treatment process, will be used to treat warts within as little time as possible.
ACHILLES TENDONITIS
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.
