Conditions We Treat at CBR Podiatry
Taking care of your foot and lower limb health and function can significantly impact your entire body and well-being, with podiatry playing an essential role in these outcomes.
Our podiatrist will assess, diagnose and treat a comprehensive range of foot, ankle and lower leg conditions. CBR Podiatry’s goal is to improve your lower limb mobility, comfort, and overall functionality and our scope ranges from childhood development to sporting injuries to chronic health conditions.
Among the conditions we frequently manage are:
Heel pain is a common and debilitating condition caused by many different conditions that can greatly impact your daily routine. Our principal podiatrist is experienced in treating heel pain and diagnosing the underlying cause.
Are you suffering from heel pain? It may be caused by plantar fasciitis (also known as plantar fasciopathy). This condition involves damage to the thick band of tissue that connects the heel to the toes and can occur for a number of reasons such as overuse and injury. We offer tailored treatment plans for this common foot ailment.
Bunions are protrusions that develop at the base of the big toe joint and are often accompanied by discomfort and difficulty wearing shoes. They can lead to a variety of issues, such as reduced mobility and irritated skin. Arthritis may develop in the joint and cause further issues. We help treat and manage pain and inflammation and provide footwear advice.
This condition, marked by pain and irritation of the Achilles tendon, frequently results from overuse, repetitive stress, or sudden physical activity changes. We deliver a customised treatment plan and assist you through the rehabilitation process.
An ingrown toenail typically involves the side or corner of the nail, often the big toe, growing into the skin, causing pain, swelling, and sometimes infection. Wearing shoes can become difficult. Our experienced podiatrist will assess your condition and suggest appropriate treatments, ranging from nail trimming to minor surgery, at our local clinic.
Orthotics can make a considerable difference to your movement, alignment, and overall comfort. We offer a comprehensive range of orthotics to suit your unique foot care requirements and lifestyle, including custom-moulded, heat-moulded, and prefabricated orthotics. We also provide specialised orthotics for high heels and fashion shoes.
Shin Splints
A condition linked to pain and inflammation along the shinbone, shin splints can cause significant discomfort in your everyday life. We offer biomechanical assessments to analyse your movement and mobility, allowing us to create a personalised program for both improvement and prevention.
Flat Feet
Flat feet are often due to excessive foot pronation or hypermobility, not necessarily low arches, which is a common misunderstanding. This condition can cause discomfort, instability, or even injuries, potentially impacting other areas of the body through misalignment. We offer biomechanical assessments to evaluate your foot and leg movements and create a plan to provide the right support.
Posture or Alignment Issues
If joints or muscles in the lower limbs are not aligned properly, your whole body can be affected. We provide a thorough biomechanics assessment to address your specific posture and alignment concerns and your overall musculoskeletal health. We will develop a focused plan to target your unique requirements.
Are skin and nail concerns making you uncomfortable or embarrassed? We diagnose and manage a range of issues, including corns, cracked heels, fungal infections, hard skin, and athlete’s foot. We also provide routine skin and nail care to promote healthy feet.
Verrucae, or plantar warts, can be treated in various ways. At CBR Podiatry, we assess your foot health and determine the specific type of wart to recommend the most appropriate treatment.
We provide assessment, diagnosis, and treatment for children aged 5 and older. We handle a range of podiatry issues in kids, including toe walking, leg pain, and injuries. Our principal podiatrist, Nick, is a member of Australian Paediatric Podiatry and is eager to assist your family.
If you have diabetes, regular foot health monitoring by a skilled professional is essential. During a diabetes review, we will address your concerns, goals, and current management strategies, followed by thorough assessments. A report will be sent to your GP, and our podiatrist will provide guidance on how to care for your feet to reduce the risk of serious complications.
Heel spurs are bony outgrowths on the heel bone that can result in pain and discomfort, particularly when walking or running. We perform biomechanical assessments to evaluate the severity and offer a customised treatment plan based on your needs.
Video gait analysis is a scientific method of observing how you walk or run. It allows us to understand how your unique movements are impacting various areas of your body and your overall health and functionality. This useful tool can help determine the cause of pain and injury and assist in improving your performance. CBR Podiatry provides gait analysis as part of our biomechanical assessment process. We identify restrictions and weaknesses and provide you with a tailored management plan.
As a trusted provider of podiatry and foot care services to NDIS participants (both self and plan-managed), CBR Podiatry offers an initial consultation and assessment, develops a care plan aligned with your healthcare goals, and provides regular reassessments during your care.
