Podiatry Monash
Expert podiatrists who have a wealth of knowledge and are ready to help you get back on your feet.
How Podiatry May Help You
Caring for your feet and lower legs is much more important than you may think. These highly complex structures do all they can to keep you up and moving, and need specific attention and care to keep you performing at your best.
A Canberra podiatrist, an allied health practitioner, focuses on treating conditions that affect the feet and lower legs. A podiatrist can help you if you are experiencing pain in your feet and lower legs that prevent you from moving as freely as you would 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. 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 Monash provides tailored treatment plans to ensure you get the best possible 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 Monash
CUSTOM ORTHOTICS
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.
SWIFT WART TREATMENT
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.
SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
Shockwave therapy stimulates your body’s natural processes to treat conditions such shin-splints or inflamed tendons, plantar fasciitis, and other ailments. 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. 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.
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 serious complications, especially for those with diabetes. 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
When you’re an active person who loves to run, pain during or after running can really get you down. Our tailored treatment for running pain will include gait analysis, mobilisation, as well as customised remedial exercises.
PLANTAR FASCIITIS
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. 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
If left untreated, fungal nails, which is an infection of the nail, bed and nail plate, can be hard to treat. Capital Podiatry will treat you with their Lunula Laser Treatment. This treatment can reduce the thickness of your toenails, clean them up, and decrease the risk of the infection spreading.
BUNIONS
Bunions occur as bumps in the joint. They are usually found near the big or little toes. Custom orthotics and foot mobilization are possible options.
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. We aim to treat warts with Swift Microwave Therapy, the world’s leading wart treatment technology, in as few 30-minute sessions 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. To create a customised treatment plan, we assess your lifestyle and objectives.
