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 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 widespread and debilitating issue, stemming from numerous conditions, which can disrupt your daily activities. Our principal podiatrist is well-versed in identifying and treating the underlying cause.
Is heel pain troubling you? It could be due to plantar fasciitis, or plantar fasciopathy, where the thick band of tissue between the heel and toes is damaged. Overuse, injury, and other causes are often involved. We create customised treatment plans for this common foot issue.
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.
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 transform the way you move, enhance your body’s alignment, and boost your comfort and functionality. We supply a broad selection of orthotics to suit your specific needs and lifestyle, including custom-moulded, heat-moulded, and prefabricated options. We even provide 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
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 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.
A heel spur is a bony growth on the heel bone that can lead to pain and discomfort, especially during activities like walking or running. We provide biomechanical assessment appointments to assess the severity of your condition and develop a personalised treatment strategy.
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 proud to deliver podiatry and foot care services to NDIS participants, whether self or plan-managed. We provide an initial consultation and assessment, develop a podiatry care plan that meets your healthcare objectives, and carry out regular reassessments as part of your care plan.
