Podiatry & GaitScan™ Sunnybank Hills
Looking after our feet is important because we use them every day to move around and if a problem arises, it can greatly affect our overall quality of life and health. This is where podiatry can be of assistance. Podiatry is a field of study within health that focuses on the treatment and management of various common and rare lower limb musculoskeletal conditions, especially in the foot and ankle. Another area that podiatrists are able to assess is the biomechanics of a person’s gait (or in other words, how they walk) and as a result, they will be able to determine if you need to alter how you move around or if there is a need for orthoses.
- Heel pain
- Foot and ankle pain
- Lower limb muscle pain from overuse and imbalance
- Knee pain
- Bunions
- Nail disorders such as an infection or ingrown toenail
- Issues with the skin – Blisters, Warts, Calluses
- Arthritis
- Exercise prescription
- Shoe recommendation
- Education on gait and running after analysis
- Custom orthotic production
- Ingrown toenail surgery
At Pain Free Physio, our podiatrist can create orthotics that are customised in our clinic and can provide support to the problematic area or enhancing function and efficiency by adjusting the alignment of your foot in relation to the rest of the lower limbs (the hips and knees)
Our podiatrist, with the assistance of a Gaitscan is able to analyse if there is a change in the biomechanics of how you walk via measurements of foot pressure and if that is causing your condition (thus, impacting on your daily life).
