It’s more essential to take care of your feet and lower legs more than you ever know. These complex structures help you stay up and move, so they need to be looked after.
A podiatrist is your partner in healthcare that treats your feet and lower limbs condition. 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 focuses on biomechanical podiatry. We have a hands-on approach to podiatry that is unique among other podiatrists. Biomechanical podiatry allows us to understand your feet and provide the best approaches to get you back on your feet.
At Capital Podiatry near Wanniassa we use tailored treatment plans so you’ll get the most out of your treatment. This may include foot mobilisation, shockwave therapy, dry needling, and biomechanical assessments depending on your goals and needs. We also use hands-on therapy, which is not common among general podiatrists. This allows us to get to know you and your concerns, and ensures that we do our best to address them.
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.
Shockwave therapy stimulates your body’s natural processes to treat conditions such shin-splints or inflamed tendons, plantar fasciitis, and other ailments. Shockwave therapy is applied to the skin using a hand-held application. It does not require medication or surgery.
Warts are much more common than you may have thought. They’ve been difficult to remove in the past, but Capital Podiatry’s Swift Microwave Therapy is now able to accelerate the process.
If not treated properly, ingrown toenails can cause pain and even infection. Ingrown toenail surgery can be a great option for you if you have a persistent ingrown toenail/s.
We can determine whether your heel or foot pain is due to high-impact exercises, tight muscles, walking style, or a combination of both.
Pain during and after running can really affect an active person like you who is passionate about running. Our customised approach to this condition may include gait analysis, mobilisation and tailored remedial exercises to help you get back on your feet.
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.
Plantar Warts are a type of rough lesion that is usually found on the sole of the foot. They can cause pain if 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.

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. You have multiple options for treatment, but custom orthotics could be a good option to spread the pressure across your feet better.
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.
