Conditions We Treat at CBR Podiatry
Enhancing and preserving the health and function of your feet and lower limbs can lead to substantial benefits for your overall body and well-being, with podiatry playing a crucial part.
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 bony bumps that form at the base of the big toe joint, often causing discomfort and making it difficult to wear shoes. They can result in issues like limited movement and skin irritation. In some cases, arthritis can form in the joint, leading to additional complications. We offer treatment to manage pain and inflammation, along with footwear guidance.
Pain and irritation of the Achilles tendon are typically caused by factors like overuse, repeated stress, and rapid increases in physical activity. We tailor a treatment plan to address this issue and offer ongoing support during rehabilitation.
Ingrown toenails can be quite painful, with the nail’s side or edge, often on the big toe, growing into the surrounding skin. This can cause pain, swelling, difficulty wearing shoes, and even infection. Our experienced podiatrist will assess your condition and provide the best treatment options, from nail trimming to minor surgery, at our local clinic.
Orthotics can greatly improve your movement, body alignment, and overall comfort. We offer a wide range of orthotics tailored to your individual foot care needs and lifestyle, including custom-moulded, heat-moulded, and off-the-shelf orthotics. We also offer orthotic solutions for high heels and fashionable footwear.
Shin Splints
Shin splints, a general term linked to pain and inflammation along the shinbone, can be a painful condition that affects your daily activities. We provide biomechanical assessments to evaluate your movements and mobility, allowing us to create a tailored plan 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
Improper alignment of joints or muscles in the lower limbs can impact your whole body. We perform detailed biomechanics assessments to examine your posture, alignment, and overall musculoskeletal health, and we will design a targeted plan to meet 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, also known as warts or plantar warts, have several treatment options. At CBR Podiatry, we first assess your foot health and pinpoint the wart type to select the most suitable treatment.
We offer podiatric assessment, diagnosis, and treatment for children aged 5 and above. From toe walking and leg pain to injuries, we address many childhood foot concerns. Our principal podiatrist, Nick, is a member of Australian Paediatric Podiatry and is ready to help your family.
If you have been diagnosed with diabetes, it is vital that your foot health is monitored regularly by an experienced professional. During a diabetes review, we will discuss your concerns, goals and current diabetes management strategies and perform several assessments. We will then send a report to your GP. Our podiatrist will also advise you on how to care for your feet to minimise the risks of serious complications in the future.
Heel spurs are bony projections that form on the heel bone, often causing pain and discomfort, particularly during walking or running. We offer biomechanical assessments to determine the severity of your condition and create a tailored treatment plan.
Video gait analysis is a scientific technique used to observe how you walk or run, providing insights into how your movements impact your body and overall health. This valuable tool helps identify the cause of pain and injury, while also improving performance. At CBR Podiatry, gait analysis is part of our biomechanical assessments, allowing us to detect restrictions and weaknesses, and create a tailored 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.
