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 is skilled in assessing, diagnosing, and treating a broad spectrum of foot, ankle, and lower leg conditions. CBR Podiatry’s mission is to boost your lower limb mobility, comfort, and functionality, dealing with concerns ranging from childhood development to athletic injuries to long-term health conditions.
We commonly treat a variety of conditions, such as:
Heel pain is a frequent and often disabling condition, caused by various factors, that can significantly affect your everyday life. Our principal podiatrist has extensive experience in diagnosing and treating its root causes.
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
Shin splints, characterised by pain and inflammation along the shinbone, can be a troublesome condition that disrupts your day-to-day routine. Our biomechanical assessments help us evaluate your movement and mobility, enabling us to design a customised program for improvement and prevention.
Flat Feet
Flat feet result from excessive pronation or hypermobility, rather than simply low arches, which many believe is the cause. This can lead to pain, instability, or injuries and may affect other parts of the body due to misalignment. We perform biomechanical assessments to observe how your feet and legs move, helping us to create a support plan for your feet.
Posture or Alignment Issues
Misalignment of the joints or muscles in the lower limbs can affect your whole body. Our biomechanics assessments thoroughly evaluate your posture, alignment, and musculoskeletal health. We will then create a targeted plan to address your specific needs.
Are skin and nail issues causing you discomfort or embarrassment? We diagnose and treat a range of conditions such as corns, cracked heels, fungal infections, hard skin and athlete’s foot. We also provide general skin and nail care to help you maintain good foot health.
There are numerous treatments available for verrucae, also known as warts or plantar warts. At CBR Podiatry, we evaluate your foot health and identify the type of wart before selecting a suitable treatment.
Our services include assessment, diagnosis, and treatment for children aged 5 and up. We treat various children’s podiatry concerns, like toe walking, leg pain, and injuries. Nick, our principal podiatrist, is a member of Australian Paediatric Podiatry and is excited to support your family’s foot care needs.
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.
A heel spur is a bony outgrowth that develops on the heel bone. It can cause pain and discomfort, especially when walking or running. We offer biomechanical assessment appointments to evaluate the severity of your condition and provide you with a personalised treatment plan.
Video gait analysis offers a scientific way to observe your walking or running patterns, giving us insights into how your movements affect different areas of your body and your overall functionality and health. This tool can be key in identifying the cause of pain or injury and improving performance. At CBR Podiatry, we incorporate gait analysis into our biomechanical assessments, where we pinpoint limitations and weaknesses to design a personalised management plan.
CBR Podiatry is honoured to provide podiatry and foot care services to NDIS participants, whether self-managed or plan-managed. We offer an initial consultation and assessment, create a podiatry care plan tailored to your healthcare objectives, and conduct regular reassessments throughout your care plan.
