Podiatry
Happy Feet Happy Life!
The most common reasons people use foot orthoses are for arch and heel pain(Plantar Fasciitis), lower leg tendonitis ( problem with the Achilles and posterior tibial tendon, and “shin splints”) and for knee pain, such as chondromalacia patellae, iliotibial band syndrome and “runner’s knee.” Foot orthoses are made from casts or scans of the feet, and incorporate measurements of your foot and legs and limb length assessment, as well as your exact medical condition. Orthoses can also be important in preventing the development of any deformities in the feet. This may be important for children.
Our podiatry service is dedicated to providing comprehensive care for your feet and lower limbs, addressing a wide range of conditions from common foot ailments to complex biomechanical issues. Our skilled podiatrists use advanced diagnostic techniques to assess and treat problems such as plantar fasciitis, bunions, heel pain, and sports injuries.
By offering personalised treatment plans that may include custom orthotics, physical therapy, and preventive care, we aim to relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall foot health. Committed to helping you maintain an active and healthy lifestyle, our podiatry service focuses on delivering exceptional care tailored to your individual needs.
- Footwear Analysis and Advice
Your podiatrist will conduct an assessment of your injury history, foot structure, biomechanics and the needs of your workplace or sporting activity prior to recommending your next pair of shoes. our podiatrist has extensive experience with Victoria’s leading technical footwear retailers; Active Feet and The Athletes Foot and will serve as a vital source of information regarding a large variety of brands.
- Gait Analysis
Combined, a biomechanical and gait analysis is the systemic study of human motion and muscle and joint measurements, movements and muscle activity. Your podiatrist using the naked eye can perform such assessment, however the staff at Podiatrykinetic, utilise the latest portable, video gait analysis to assist in your understanding of your unique biomechanics and their potential influence on your injury.
Orthotic Therapy
‘Orthoses’ or ‘Orthotics’ are custom made devices prescribed by your podiatrist, which take into account the structural imbalances of your feet and body. Traditionally, orthotics are designed to balance the biomechanical and structural imbalances present within your feet and legs. We feel most people should try over the counter arch supports first. However, while they will match some peoples’ arches, others may find the support too high or low, or too far back or forward.
