Prolotherapy: The not-so-scary injection helping sore feet heal 🩹

Struggling with foot or ankle pain that just won’t go away?

Prolotherapy might be what you’re looking for. It’s a regenerative injection treatment that uses a natural glucose-based solution to:
🔹 Trigger your body’s healing response
🔹 Strengthen strained ligaments and tendons
🔹 Improve joint stability
🔹 Reduce long-term pain

At Hurst Podiatry, we’ve used prolotherapy to help people manage:
👣 Achilles tendon pain
👣 Midfoot or ankle instability
👣 Morton’s neuroma
👣 Bunions and heel pain
👣 Osteoarthritis in the foot and ankle

Best of all? It’s even safe for people with diabetes.

We’ve got clinics in Kilsyth and Healesville, and we’re here to help you get back on your feet — pain-free.

Rolled your ankle? Don’t just “walk it off”. 👟

Ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries we see — especially after sport, uneven surfaces, or past injuries. But too many people don’t give them the proper care, which leads to:
⚠️ Long-term weakness
⚠️ Repeat sprains
⚠️ Chronic pain or arthritis down the track

In this blog, we break down:
✔️ What a sprain really is
✔️ What the symptoms mean
✔️ How we diagnose ankle injuries
✔️ What treatment options are available — from custom rehab plans to moon boots, orthotics, K-Laser, prolotherapy and more
✔️ How long recovery takes (spoiler: it depends!)

If your ankle isn’t healing properly — or you keep rolling the same one — it’s time for a proper plan. We’ve got clinics in Kilsyth and Healesville, and we’re here to help.

Pain in the ball of your foot that won’t go away? It could be a plantar plate tear.

The plantar plate ligament helps stabilise your toe joints — and when it’s injured, it can cause pain, swelling, and even deformity. It’s especially common under the second toe, particularly if you’ve got bunions, high arches, or spend lots of time on your feet.

In this blog, we explain:
🦶 What a plantar plate tear is
🦶 Who’s most at risk
🦶 The symptoms (including that classic lifting or drifting second toe)
🦶 How it’s treated — from orthotics and rehab to surgery
🦶 What happens if you ignore it

At Hurst Podiatry, we see and treat this injury regularly — and early care makes a big difference. If you’re worried about a sore or unstable toe, we’ve got clinics in Kilsyth and Healesville ready to help.

A plantar plate ligament tear can be a painful injury, however, it is possible to recover from one with the right professional treatment.

In our blog, we walk you through:

What’s that lump on your foot? 🤔 It could be a ganglion cyst.

Ganglion cysts are jelly-like lumps that form near joints or tendons — and they’re pretty common on the top of the foot. While some are painless, others can press on nearby nerves, making it uncomfortable to walk, wear shoes, or even move your foot properly.

In our latest blog, we explain:
🔍 What ganglion cysts are
🔍 Why they appear
🔍 How we diagnose them using ultrasound
🔍 What treatment options are available

If you’ve noticed a lump, don’t ignore it. Our podiatrists in Kilsyth and Healesville can assess it properly and help you put your best foot forward.
