It’s more essential to take care of your feet and lower legs more than you ever know. These intricate structures work hard to keep you moving. They require specific attention and care in order to be at their best.
A 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.
Podiatry contains two main categories: General foot care and biomechanical podiatry – for sore feet and legs. 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.
Capital Podiatry near Gowrie 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 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.
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.
Shockwave therapy stimulates our bodies’ own processes. It can be used to treat conditions such as pain, plantar fasciitis, or inflamed and inflamed ankles. Shockwave therapy is applied to the skin using a hand-held application. It does not require 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 may be very painful and can even cause infection if they are not appropriately treated. 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.
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.
Pain during and after running can really affect an active person like you who is passionate about running. We’ll take a customised approach to your running pain. This may include gait analysis and mobilisation as well as tailored remedial exercises.
Fungal nails (an infection of the nail and nail bed) can be very difficult to mend if it’s not addressed right away. Capital Podiatry can help reduce the spread of fungal nails by using the Lunula Laser treatment.
Plantar warts, which are usually located on the bottom of your foot, can cause tenderness or pain when you place weight on them. Swift Microwave Therapy is the most effective wart treatment technology in the world. We aim to treat warts in as little as 30 minutes.
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. We can perform ingrown nail surgery if your condition gets so severe that you cannot wear certain shoes or have difficulty walking. It may take as little as 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. 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. Custom orthotics and foot mobilization are possible options.
Achilles tendonitis also known as tendonitis at the heel or tendonitis on the heel can cause pain, tenderness or swelling. This may affect your flexibility and range of motion. We evaluate your symptoms, lifestyle, and goals in order to design a treatment plan.
