Podiatry Services

Podiatry Care has onsite sterilisation at all clinics and guarantees sterility of all instruments used for treatments.

Many groups in society need to pay particular attention to foot care especially Diabetes sufferers, and all podiatrists are trained in Diabetic assessments, and can communicate with your General Practitioner regarding any findings.

Foot pain, corns, calluses, blisters, aching feet, heel pain, ankle pain, shin pain, bunions, flat feet, aching legs, knee pain, runner’s knee, iliotibial band syndrome, hip pain and lower back pain can all be the result of abnormal forces or malalignment in the feet and legs.

This is why Podiatry Care will assess your gait as part of your overall assessment. A Computerised Video Gait Analysis (VGA) is usually performed and your results of this assessment will be analysed.

At Podiatry Care we use computerised video gait analysis (VGA) to provide  detailed analysis of each component of the patient’s walking cycle.

The use of VGA provides a visual aid for the podiatrist to demonstrate and educate our clients regarding any walking abnormalities.

This visual demonstration is extremely helpful in allowing patients to understand the factors that may be contributing to their symptoms.

Often symptoms associated with biomechanical malalignment are treated with the use of a customised foot orthotic. This device will restore a more efficient postural and functional position, which in turn promotes and accelerates the body’s own healing mechanisms.

Our clinics are using computer generated 3D Laser scan orthotics manufactured from a 3D Laserscan orthotic system. These have proven to be extremely accurate, and both soft orthotics and firmer orthotics can be manufactured from this system.

Our Podiatrists have a special interest in children’s feet, and have undergone additional training in this area.

This includes various muscle testing techniques, the development of specific exercise plans, and in some cases the manufacture of various paediatric splinting appliances may be necessary.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is now a treatment option available at our Podiatry Care Clinics.  It is an extremely effective way of managing many soft tissue injuries, including heel pain (plantar fasciitis), and other conditions including Achilles tendonitis, shin pain and other muscular and ligamentous injuries.

ESWT involves the application of high energy acoustic waves to various areas of the body, which in turn creates a cascade of metabolic activity which stimulates the body’s own healing mechanisms.
