By Senior Podiatrist Michael Johnston

A staggering 48% of Australians have experienced heel or arch pain in the last 12 months but 56% of us don’t know what a Podiatrist does. 
Podiatrists are specialists in the foot and lower limb so can treat foot, ankle, knee and hip pain. 
Here are some of the most common issues we manage;

  • Heel pain – Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles injuries
  • Shin Splints
  • Ankle injuries
  • Knee Pain
  • Bunions
  • Ingrown and fungal infection of toenails
  • Corns, callus and verrucas

And here are some of the things we can do to fix you;

  • Custom orthotics
  • Shock wave therapy
  • Strapping
  • Dry Needling
  • Surgery 
  • Gait re-training
  • Footwear advice

As part of Foot Health Week we are offering 15 minute Walking/Running assessments with video analysis at our Melbourne clinics for the rest of October.
