Foot Care Advice

Pain underneath the heel when getting out of bed is commonly associated with plantar fascia irritation, often called plantar fasciitis or plantar fasciopathy.
The pain may improve after you begin moving but return after sitting, standing, walking or exercising for an extended period.
Although plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain, it is not the only possible cause. A podiatry assessment can help identify the affected structure and the factors contributing to your symptoms.

Yes, podiatrists do treat ingrown toenails. While not all podiatrists or podiatry clinics may offer ingrown toenails treatment or provide ingrown toenail surgery, at Podiatry Care Gawler, we have a special interest in treating ingrown toenails and performing ingrown toenail surgery. Our experienced podiatrist, Kaye Halliday, has extensive knowledge in treating both mild and severe cases of ingrown toenails, and she performs the procedure in-house at our clinic.
