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.
Conditions we often address include:
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.
Do you have heel pain? One possible cause is plantar fasciitis (also called plantar fasciopathy), which involves injury to the thick tissue that links the heel to the toes. This can result from overuse, injury, or other factors. We provide personalised treatment plans for this frequent condition.
Bunions are growths that appear at the base of the big toe joint, frequently causing discomfort and shoe-fitting problems. They can lead to reduced mobility and irritated skin. Arthritis may develop in the joint, adding to the complications. We provide treatment to manage pain, reduce inflammation, and offer footwear recommendations.
Achilles tendon pain and irritation often arise from overuse, repetitive strain, or a sudden spike in physical activity. We provide personalised treatment plans for this condition and guide you through your rehabilitation process.
An ingrown toenail can be very painful, where the side or corner of the nail, often on the big toe, grows into the skin. This can result in swelling, pain, trouble wearing shoes, and infection. Our experienced podiatrist will evaluate the condition and offer the best treatment, including nail trimming or minor surgery, all 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 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
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 you dealing with skin or nail problems that cause discomfort or embarrassment? We treat a variety of conditions, including corns, cracked heels, fungal infections, hard skin, and athlete’s foot. Additionally, we offer general skin and nail care to support 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.
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 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 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.
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.
