How Podiatry May Help You
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 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.
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. We recognise that every person’s feet are different and we use the biomechanical podiatry methods to help you get back on your feet.
Treatment Techniques
Capital Podiatry near Richardson 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. We use hands-on therapy to help you feel better and get the best out of your problems, unlike other podiatrists.
Our Podiatry Services Near Richardson
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 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. Shockwave therapy is applied to the skin using a hand-held application. It does not require medication or surgery.
INGROWN TOENAIL SURGERY
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.
What We Treat
FOOT AND HEEL PAIN
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.
INGROWN NAILS
Ingrown toenails can be painful and may even become chronic, meaning the ingrown nail keeps recurring. Complications can occur from ingrown nails, especially for people with diabetes, so it’s 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
When you’re an active person who loves to run, pain during or after running can really get you down. We’ll take a customised approach to your running pain. This may include gait analysis and mobilisation as well as tailored remedial exercises.
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. 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 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.
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, also known as tendonitis in the heel, can cause tenderness and pain that can reduce mobility and flexibility. We will assess your symptoms, goals, and lifestyle to develop a personalised treatment plan.
