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 is an allied health practitioner who aims to treat conditions affecting the feet and lower limbs. 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 main types of podiatry are 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.
Treatment Techniques
Capital Podiatry near Richardson provides tailored treatment plans to ensure you get the best possible treatment. This may include foot mobilisation, shockwave therapy, dry needling, and biomechanical assessments depending on your goals and needs. 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 most advanced technology to create custom orthotics for your feet that fit the natural shape of your feet.
SWIFT WART TREATMENT
Warts are much more common than you may have thought. 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.
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 are painful and can lead to infection if not 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. Ingrown nails can lead to complications, for people with diabetics. Therefore, it is crucial that you 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.
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 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. While there are many treatments available, custom orthotics may be an option. They can help spread the pressure on your feet evenly.
FUNGAL NAILS
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.
BUNIONS
Bunions occur as bumps in the joint. They are usually found near the big or little toes. For treatment, you can try custom orthotics, or foot mobilisation.
WARTS
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, 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 or tendonitis of your heel) can lead to tenderness, pain, swelling, and reduced range of motion. We evaluate your symptoms, lifestyle, and goals in order to design a treatment plan.
