Here’s the thing: 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒊𝒈 𝒕𝒐𝒆 𝒑𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒊𝒔 𝒈𝒐𝒖𝒕.
And assuming it is can lead you down the wrong treatment path—or leave you untreated entirely.

🦴 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐞?

Your big toe is home to a complex structure of bones, joints, tendons, nerves, and soft tissues. Any of these can become irritated or damaged—and send pain signals shooting with every step.

Some common culprits we see in the clinic include:

🦶 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗶𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘀 – inflammation of the two tiny bones under your big toe joint, often from pressure or overuse.
🦶 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘂𝘅 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗱𝘂𝘀 – arthritis affecting the big toe joint, causing stiffness and pain with movement.
🦶 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 – especially in runners, dancers, or those who’ve suddenly increased their activity levels.
🦶 𝗡𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 – such as compression of the medial plantar nerve, leading to shooting or burning pain.
🦶 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 – poor foot posture can make that one joint work overtime, leading to breakdown and pain over time.

Sometimes the pain is sharp and sudden. Sometimes it creeps in slowly.
But it always has a cause—and usually one that can be treated effectively.

🩺 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐚 𝐩𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩?

At 𝑺𝒊𝒍𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝑷𝒐𝒅𝒊𝒂𝒕𝒓𝒚, we take the guesswork out of diagnosing foot pain.

We’ll start by asking questions that matter—
✔️ When does the pain occur?
✔️ What makes it worse?
✔️ What shoes do you wear day-to-day?
✔️ Have you had recent changes in activity or injuries?

Then we’ll assess the structure and movement of your foot—
✔️ Joint range of motion
✔️ Foot posture
✔️ Walking and loading patterns
✔️ Pressure distribution

And if needed, we can refer you for digital imaging or further testing.

With the right diagnosis, we can begin tailored treatment—ranging from offloading techniques and custom orthotics to strength work, footwear advice, or taping.

We’ve seen too many people hobble in weeks or months after the first sign of trouble—because they were hoping it would just "go away."

But sharp pain is your body’s way of saying “𝘏𝘦𝘺! 𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨’𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦.”

Let us help you figure out what that something is.

But let’s actually check before you go blaming the cherry toma𝐭𝐨𝐞𝐬.

𝑨𝒈𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒌𝒊𝒏, 𝒐𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒚, 𝒅𝒊𝒂𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒆 𝒅𝒂𝒎𝒂𝒈𝒆 can all slow the body’s natural repair process. In some cases, wounds linger for weeks or months, becoming chronic.

“A Footnote to My Day”
by Elan (between consults, probably)

I met a heel with a tale to tell,
Of orthotics lost and arches fell.
Its mate—a toe—was strangely bent,
From years of shoes that came and went.

The foot, it whispered: “Please be kind,
I’ve served a body, lagged behind.
I’ve braved the tiles, the fields, the street—
Now all I ask is painless feet.”

So I cast, I shaped, I coaxed, I joked,
(I may have muttered and slightly poked.)
And when it walked—less limp, more glide—
I grinned, because the foot had lied.

(It loved the new orthotic ride.)

🛬 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬… 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐖𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝?

The bags are unpacked, the fridge is empty, and your feet are absolutely cooked.
(Theme parks. Sightseeing. Airports. Sand. Shoes that looked nice but betrayed you.)

𝑺𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝒇𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒂𝒓?

Whether it was Gold Coast queues, Bali beach treks, or just a staycation that somehow involved 30,000 steps a day, your feet might be waving a white flag.

💡 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲:
✔️ 𝘿𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 – "It’ll go away" isn’t a strategy. Pain that lingers is your body asking for help.

✔️ 𝙎𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙘𝙝 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙚𝙨 – Give your feet a break from holiday fashion. Cushioning + arch support = recovery mode.

✔️ 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙘𝙝 𝙞𝙩 𝙤𝙪𝙩 – Gentle calf, hamstring, and arch stretches help release tension and improve circulation.

✔️ 𝙍𝙤𝙡𝙡 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙨 – Use a tennis ball, frozen water bottle, or a dedicated foot roller under the arch for 5–10 minutes per foot, twice a day.

✔️ 𝙎𝙤𝙖𝙠 + 𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙚 – A warm Epsom salt soak followed by 10–15 minutes with your feet elevated above your heart can help reduce swelling.

✔️ 𝙏𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩 𝙗𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙮 – Clean, cover, and protect. Don’t pop. Don't ignore. (And maybe reconsider those sandals next time.)

✔️ 𝙇𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 – If you're hobbling, favouring one foot, or waking up with stabbing heel pain… don’t wait.

👣 𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬, 𝐒𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐝!

Right now, Hannah and I are soaking up some Daddy-daughter time on the Gold Coast. 🎢
We’re hitting the theme parks (yes, all of them) — and where better for one-on-one time, right?

It’s all laughs, rollercoasters, sugary snacks... and a LOT of walking, running, and standing still in queues that seem to wrap around the country.

𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒄𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒎-𝒇𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒔, 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎𝒆 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒂 𝒇𝒐𝒐𝒕 𝒇𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒈𝒖𝒆 𝒇𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚.

✔️ 𝐑𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐫 – If you're away for a few days, bring two pairs of good shoes and alternate. Different pressure points, different relief.

✔️ 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐟𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲 – Sounds simple, but dry, fresh socks = instant comfort boost and fewer blisters.

✔️ 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 – A quick stretch while waiting in line can stop your feet tightening up.

✔️ 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐚𝐩𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐠𝐞𝐥 𝐩𝐚𝐝𝐬 – Especially on heels, toes, and arches. Don’t wait for a blister to remind you.

✔️ 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 – 10–15 mins of lying down with your feet up against the wall reduces swelling and brings circulation back.

✔️ 𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 – A foot soak in cool water, or even a cold water bottle rolled under your sole can do wonders.

✔️ 𝐇𝐲𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 — 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐭 – Dehydration can increase muscle fatigue and cramping. Water isn’t just for your mouth.

✔️ 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 + 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐝 – Moisturise and give them a gentle rub. It's not indulgent. It's damage control.

These trips are magic. But if you’re hobbling on Day 2 and gritting your teeth by Day 4… it might be time for a little post-holiday foot TLC.

🚫 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐬 – Every step = your toes gripping for dear life. Zero arch support, all risk, no reward.
🚫 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 – Glam now, pain forever. Think bunions, hammertoes, burning arches, and the "why do my feet hate me?" walk of shame.

✔️ 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐬 – Keep the muscles strong and flexible.
✔️ 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 – Moisturise, stretch, and check in with your podiatrist.

Because yes—your shoes can look great and feel great.

You don’t have to be a tradie or a runner to end up with foot pain.
In fact, the “silent killer” of foot health is sitting…

𝑨𝒍𝒍. 𝑫𝒂𝒚. 𝑳𝒐𝒏𝒈.

🚫 𝐒𝐥𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐜𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 = swollen, stiff ankles.
🚫 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 away from being stuck in one position.
🚫 𝐓𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭, 𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐞𝐬? Any support? Yeah, they’re not helping.

And by 5 PM, you finally stand up — hello, bricks for feet. 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙙 𝙢𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙠𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙜𝙤?!

𝙇𝙚𝙩’𝙨 𝙛𝙞𝙭 𝙞𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙩 𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪:
✅ 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐩 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝟑𝟎–𝟔𝟎 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐬 — stretch, walk, MOVE, even just for 2 minutes.
✅ 𝐒𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐞𝐬 — support > style (ideally both). Ditch those pointies.
✅ 𝐃𝐨 𝐚 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐨𝐮𝐭 — toe curls, calf raises, arch massage.

You don’t need to clock 10k steps to offend your feet.
Your desk job is doing a slow, daily number on them.

Most people are religious about brushing their teeth.
Twice a day. Floss.
Dentist every 6 months.

But when it comes to their feet?
𝘚𝘩𝘦’𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵. 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐡𝐞?

At 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐲, we’re on a mission to change that.

Because your feet deserve the same regular care and attention as your teeth.
They’re with you every single step of the way.
So let’s get into it: the most common foot health mistakes we see every single week.
________________________________________

🔴 𝟏. 𝐈𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 (𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞)
You wouldn’t ignore a sharp toothache and hope for the best. Foot pain is no different.
That dull ache, that ni**le after work—that’s your body saying, “This needs attention.”
Waiting too long can turn a small issue (like a strained ligament) into a long recovery (or worse: surgery).

🔶 𝟐. 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞—𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭
We get it—those flat sneakers or bargain boots look good. Cheap, unsupportive shoes feel good in the store—but fast forward a few months, and you’re booking an appointment for plantar fasciitis or bunions.
Support matters.

🟡 𝟑. 𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠—𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠
Think of your feet like tyres. By the time you're sliding around the corners, it's too late.
Preventative foot care can stop issues from developing into long-term problems. A regular check-up can catch changes in alignment, pressure, circulation, or nerve function before they cause pain.
⁽ˢᵉʳⁱᵒᵘˢˡʸ – ʷʰʸ ⁿᵒᵗ ᵃᵗᵗᵉⁿᵈ ᵃᵗ ˡᵉᵃˢᵗ ᵃⁿⁿᵘᵃˡˡʸ ᵗᵒ ᵍᵉᵗ ʸᵒᵘʳ ᶠᵉᵉᵗ ᶜʰᵉᶜᵏᵉᵈ﹖﹗⁾

🟢 𝟒. “𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠” 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫
You know those supportive shoes you should be wearing daily? If they’re still in the box, they’re not helping.
Support isn’t a sometimes thing—it’s an every day necessity. They also have a shelf-life, so enjoy them.

🔵 𝟓. 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐬 “𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐠𝐞”
Nope.
Aging doesn’t have to mean hobbling. Foot pain is common, but it’s not normal.
We can help you walk with comfort and confidence—at any age.
