How can we help?

General Podiatry

 

With 26 bones, 33 joints and a multitude of muscles, tendons and nerves, the human foot is a complex structure that a lot of us often take for granted. At PodCo we offer safe and professional foot care for everyone, from children to the elderly and everyone in between.  ​

PodCo services include: 

• sports injury management

• biomechanical assessments

• custom orthotic prescriptions

• tidying dry cracked skin

• ingrown toenail treatment 

• athletes foot and fungal nail infections

• advice for smelly and sweaty feet

Sports Injury Management

 

Injuries don’t just happen on the field. Whether you’ve hurt yourself while playing sport or just by getting up from the couch, the effects can be long lasting and debilitating. 

​

Pod Co can assess and treat pain related to: 

• bunions

• flat feet

• overuse injuries

• heel spurs and plantar fasciitis

• knee injuries 

• strains and sprains

 

We also offer biomechanical assessments, custom orthotics and arch support and footwear recommendations to help get you back on your feet.

Babies, Children and Young Adults

 

As we grow and change, so do our feet. The foot care needs of a baby or child are very different from those of an adult. Issues with feet during development can lead to lifelong problems that affect mobility and reduce your child’s ability to stay active.

​

Pod Co is here to help guide you with any questions you may have about the development of your child’s feet. 

We can assist with:

• in- and out-toeing

• toe walking

• warts

• curly toes

• ingrown toenails

• smelly and sweaty feet

• knock knees

• flat feet

• heel, knee and leg pain

Diabetic Care

 

For those with diabetes, complications such as ulcers, infections and gangrene can be common. If these problems are left untreated, they can increase the risk to your general health and lead to amputation. 

​

It is recommend that diabetics see a podiatrist at least twice a year. Studies have shown that with regular care from a podiatrist, these minor problems are managed which prevents major complications and hospitilisation.

​

At PodCo we are trained in the treatment of those suffering with diabetic foot complications. We can assess your circulation and nerve sensation spotting problems before they appear, and give you invaluable advice on how to care for your feet. 

Multidisciplinary Approach

 

At PodCo we believe in total care. Our clinic is designed to keep you in your best health with ready access to a team of health providers that include Osteopaths, Remedial Massage Therapists, Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners and Naturopaths. 

​
