Diabetics require specific assessments to assess vascular and neurological status which are completed annually and sometimes more frequently with high risk patients.
This Assessment includes assessing your skin integrity, sensation and temperature, pedal pulses and ability to detect vibration.
Routine foot care is often recommended so your podiatrist can keep a close check on your foot health. Diabetics are eligible for a Medicare Rebate on up to 5 visits per year but must be referred by a GP with an EPC plan and referral.

At Podiatry4Kids & Adults we aim to provide both a professional and family friendly environment for you and your family to attend. Your feet are the foundation of your body. They are a complex system of bones, joints, tissues, muscles and nerve endings that all work together to co-ordinate motion in the rest of the body. If something is out of balance, the impact can be felt throughout the whole system.
We work in a holistic way and assess your feet as part of this whole system. We refer and consult with our in house practitioners in particular with Osteopathy and Kinesiology where indicated to gain long term results for the balance, alignment and well being of the whole body from the feet up. For children in particular, it is important that their growing feet and bodies are pain free and in alignment to prevent potential problems later on as adults.

DO YOU SUFFER FROM INGROWN TOENAILS?

They can occur for all ages sometimes, even at birth and are common in age 12 to teenage years (sweaty feet that parents aren’t always monitoring closely!)
Ingrown nails are most commonly the big toenails but can occur at any nail and result from a nail spike growing into the flesh of the toe.
They are very painful often appear red and inflamed and weepy with pus.
If left untreated they can become infected and require antibiotics. They are often caused by not cutting the nail properly, poor fitting shoes or simply the involuted shape of the toenail.

A gait assessment involves watching you walk to assess the foot and the whole body’s mechanics to help diagnose either the pain/injury you present with or to advise you regarding potential issues that may arise as a result of poor mechanics. Your footwear wear patterns will also be assessed and tell us a lot about your gait.
A biomechanical assessment includes assessing the foot and ankle for joint range of motion, joint positions and associated muscle/tendon tightness, leg length and pelvic alignment, hip range of motion, and the whole body’s posture on standing. This assessment is required to give the best advice regarding orthotic therapy if it’s indicated and to help us assess and advise you on the right treatment plan to resolve pain or prevent potential issues in future.
