👣✨ Is it time to check your orthotics? ✨👣

Just like shoes, orthotics wear over time - and growing feet or changing activity levels mean they might not be doing their job as well as they should.

Our podiatrists can assess your orthotics to make sure they’re still supporting you (or your child) properly, and update them if needed.

✅ Worn out or uncomfortable orthotics
✅ New pain or changes in activity
✅ Kids who are growing quickly

📅 Book your orthotic check-up with our podiatry team today we we can help!

👉 Call 1300 610 004 or book online

👣 Ingrown toenail giving you trouble? Redness, swelling, pain, or even infection? At Stance Podiatry, we offer a safe and effective solution: the Partial Nail Avulsion procedure — a long-term fix for a painful, recurring problem.
🔍 What is Partial Nail Avulsion?
It’s a minor surgical procedure where only the problematic side of the nail is removed — not the whole nail! It’s commonly used to treat:

✅ Ingrown toenails
✅ Recurrent infections
✅ Thickened or curved nail edges
✅ Painful nail pressure against the skin

🩺 What to Expect:

The toe is numbed using local anesthetic
The affected portion of the nail is carefully removed
In many cases, a chemical (phenol) is applied to prevent regrowth of the ingrown section
A sterile dressing is applied, and recovery instructions are provided
💡 Why Choose Stance Podiatry?
✔️ Performed by experienced podiatrists
✔️ Minimally invasive with fast recovery
✔️ Relief from pain, pressure, and infection
✔️ Often a permanent solution for chronic ingrown nails
✔️ Caring, supportive environment — we walk you through every step
Most people are back in normal shoes within days 👟 — and back to living pain-free!

Our Director, Amy Hawker, presented at the ACPS Lower Limb Symposium this weekend!

She spoke on a topic many podiatrists encounter—nail surgery complications—and how to manage them effectively in clinical practice.

It’s always so valuable to have so many podiatrists in the same room, sharing knowledge, discussing cases, and continuing to grow as experts in our field.
