NEW – A SWIFT Resolution to Warts.

Traditionally, wart treatments have been uncomfortable, messy and at times rather ineffective, rendering warts quite challenging to treat.

Newcastle Family and Sports Podiatry have now moved to treating warts using microwave therapy with tremendous benefits to patients. The data is strong with effectiveness of treatment close to three times that of traditional methods.

Microwave therapy is applied using a SWIFT microwave therapy system designed specifically for the treatment of wart lesions.

Our latest blog article topic was prompted by a recent conversation with a patient who was frustrated by the lack of specific care and information that she could find in relation to her connective tissue disorder, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. With this in mind, I wanted to shed some light on hypermobility syndromes from a Podiatrist’s perspective. You can find the article over at our website – https://newcastlepodiatry.com.au/blog/hypermobility-syndromes-and-podiatry

Congratulations to the Avondale University College Parkrun organisers on a successful launch on the weekend. Parkrun is an excellent initiative perfect for routine exercise, beginner fun runners, returning to activity from injury or crunching down personal best times for 5km. We are proud to have played a small part in helping these guys get up and running. Well done.

Netball in Newcastle commences next week, and we want to help you stay healthy and on the court. Netball is a fast-paced, dynamic game with a high incidence of injury and as with all sports preparation is key.

We are seeing many a budding football or soccer (as you can at times get in trouble for saying) star in at the practice at the moment. All are very excited as they fill me in on their various goals, teams and schedules for the season ahead. Pre-season training starts in the coming weeks, it’s then onto trials in February and season openers in March. In short, the season will be here before we know it and to enjoy a quality season it’s best to be prepared.
Check out our blog on preparation for the football season ahead.

2021 is just around the corner. Everyone wants to start the new year right, with their best foot forward. Rightly so, many a parent that I speak with in the practice wants to know that their child has their best chance at no foot or leg complaints and that their footwear is “spot on” going into the new school year. With the holidays upon us and appointments filling fast, now is the time to get these discussions started with your podiatrists at Newcastle Family and Sports Podiatry.

Our accredited sports podiatrist Kurt Robertson was under lights again last weekend, chairing the Australian Podiatry Association’s virtual conference “Older and Stronger, Progress at Any Age.” Almost 400 delegates attended with a whole host of quality speakers including ASICS GM of footwear, Mark Doherty. Kurt thinks he’s got what it takes for a role in media, but fear not, we are insisting he stick to sports podiatry here at Newcastle Family and Sports Podiatry 😉

Has COVID-19 got you back on the board?🏄‍♂️
Podiatry plays an important role in surf injury management. Appropriate management is extremely important so that you can get the most out of the the waves and the sport you love. If you require some assistance in your surfing endeavours, Newcastle Family and Sports Podiatry are here to help you.

Podiatry is unlikely to be the first thing you think of when you have suffered a surfing injury, but maybe it should be a stronger consideration.
