Orthotic Therapy
Orthotic therapy describes the prescription of an in shoe device to provide pain relief and ongoing support at allow for realignment of feet, knees, hips and spine, thereby providing relief for a range of musculoskeletal problems not limited to the feet. In most cases orthotics can prevent disability and further deformity of the foot caused by incorrect biomechanics.
Footwear Advice
Our feet come in all shapes and sizes, and all function slightly differently. Similarly not all shoes are the same, especially sports shoes. Sunnybank Hills Podiatry offer an in depth knowledge of a wide range of footwear styles and can recommend appropriate footwear for your feet and lifestyle.
General Foot Care
A full range of general foot care options are available, from nail cutting, corn and callous removal, wound care and minor skin and nail infections.
Nail Surgery
Nail surgery is a procedure carried out to remove part, or all of a nail. Problem nails that are commonly treated are, infected ingrown toenails and curved or distorted/thickened nails which are causing pain.
Biomechanical Assessments
Biomechanical assessments involve a range of tests which include weight bearing and non-weight bearing activities designed to identify possible causes of your foot and lower limb pain. Typically the assessment would include a video gait analysis, passive & resisted muscle testing, skeletal alignment and joint ranges of motion assessment. The information gained from this assessment
Sports Injuries
Sports related injuries of the foot and lower limb can mostly be categorised into trauma or over-use related onset, with the vast majority of those injuries tend to fall into the category of over-use. Typically over-use type injuries are caused by either, poor technique, incorrect footwear and/ or over- training.
Diabetes Foot Care
The unfortunate fact is that people with diabetes have the highest rate of lower limb amputation amongst the general population. Two of the main problems associated with foot complications and diabetes are, nerve damage (or a loss of feeling) as well as reduced circulation (or a loss of blood flow) to the feet.
Heel Pain
Are those first few steps unbearable? Do you then feel better after a couple of minutes only to become painful again each time you stand after resting? Is your pain stopping you from enjoying your usual activities?
