A personalised, patient-centred foot care clinic in Canberra, ideally located near OConnor.
Reliable and Skilled Podiatrist Near OConnor
CBR Podiatry offers personalised and professional assessments and treatments for a wide variety of foot, ankle, and lower leg conditions, applying the latest research. Our chief podiatrist emphasises patient-centred, personalised care, delivering precise diagnoses and comprehensive care at our local clinic. Whether you’re dealing with biomechanical issues, chronic ankle conditions, or sudden pain from an ingrown toenail, CBR Podiatry focuses on addressing the cause, not merely the symptoms.
A one-size-fits-all approach does not work when it comes to the variety of conditions, concerns, and injuries we see every day in our clinic. Whether you have complex foot needs, athletic goals, or require general skin or footwear advice, we will develop a personalised plan that suits your unique requirements and goals. By recognising and targeting specific underlying issues, symptoms, and conditions, we can pursue several goals, such as reducing ankle pain, recovering from foot injuries, treating nail conditions, and boosting foot health.
CBR Podiatry provides professional and tailored assessment and treatment of foot, ankle and lower leg conditions by a leading Canberra podiatrist. Whether you have long-standing heel pain that requires resolving or acute pain caused by an ingrown toenail, we’re here to treat the cause, not just the symptoms.
We believe in patient-centred podiatry care customised to your individual needs. Our personalised treatment plans assist with reducing pain and discomfort, aiding mobility and improving overall foot health.
At our inner North Canberra foot care clinic, located at the O’Connor shops, we assess, diagnose and treat an extensive range of podiatry conditions utilising the latest research.
We welcome new patients from all over Canberra, including Belconnen, Dickson, Canberra City (Civic) and surrounds. We’re also well-positioned if you’re visiting us from regional areas such as Murrumbateman and Yass.
Conditions CBR Podiatry Treats
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.
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 hard protrusions at the base of the big toe joint, typically causing discomfort and shoe difficulties. They can result in limited mobility and skin irritation. Arthritis may also develop in the joint, worsening the condition. We assist in treating pain, managing inflammation, and offering footwear advice.
Characterised by pain and irritation of the Achilles tendon, this condition commonly occurs due to factors such as overuse, repetitive stress, and sudden increases in physical activity. We offer a customised treatment plan for this painful problem and support you through 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
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, commonly misunderstood as being caused by low arches, actually result from excessive foot pronation or hypermobility. This can lead to discomfort, instability, or injuries, and misalignment may affect other areas of the body. We will assess your foot and leg movements through biomechanical analysis and design 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.
Do skin and nail issues cause you discomfort or embarrassment? We offer diagnosis and treatment for conditions like corns, cracked heels, fungal infections, hard skin, and athlete’s foot, along with general skin and nail care to help maintain your foot health.
There are many treatment options for verrucae, commonly referred to as warts or plantar warts. At CBR Podiatry, we examine your foot health and identify the wart type to choose the best treatment approach.
We offer assessment, diagnosis and treatment for kids aged 5 years and up. We cover a variety of podiatry concerns experienced by children, such as toe walking, leg pain and injuries. Our principal podiatrist, Nick, is a member of Australian Paediatric Podiatry and looks forward to helping your whole family.
For those diagnosed with diabetes, it’s crucial to have regular foot health check-ups with an experienced professional. In a diabetes review, we will discuss your concerns, goals, and diabetes management, conduct several assessments, and send a report to your GP. Our podiatrist will advise on how to care for your feet to lower the chances of future 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 is a scientific approach to studying how you walk or run, helping us understand the effects of your movements on different parts of your body and your overall health and functionality. This valuable tool can uncover the root cause of pain and injury, as well as enhance your performance. At CBR Podiatry, gait analysis is included in our biomechanical assessments, where we identify any restrictions and weaknesses to create a customised 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.
