How Podiatry May Help You
It’s more essential to take care of your feet and lower legs more than you ever know. 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 is an allied health practitioner who aims to treat conditions affecting the feet and lower limbs. 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.
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
At Capital Podiatry near Wanniassa we use tailored treatment plans so you’ll get the most out of your treatment. You may need foot mobilisation, shockwave, dry needling, or biomechanical assessments, depending on your individual needs. Additionally, unlike some general podiatrists, we work with you directly to understand your concerns and address them as quickly as possible.
Our Podiatry Services Near Wanniassa
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 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.
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. By applying a hand-held applicator to the skin, we use shockwave therapy with the aim of accelerating healing without needles, medication, or surgery.
INGROWN TOENAIL SURGERY
Ingrown toenails are painful and can lead to infection if not treated. 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
HEEL & FOOT 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. Ingrown toenail removal can be done if you become unable to walk or are experiencing chronic pain.
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 is a common cause of 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 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 can be described as a bump in the joint, usually located near the big toe and sometimes the opposite side of your foot at the little tip. For treatment, you can try 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 is the most effective wart treatment technology in the world. We aim to treat warts in as little as 30 minutes.
ACHILLES TENDONITIS
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.
