Conditions We Treat
Expert diagnosis and evidence-based treatment for foot, ankle, and lower limb conditions.
We treat a wide range of foot and lower limb conditions. Whether you are dealing with chronic pain, a sports injury, or a condition that has developed over time, our team can help. Click on any condition below to learn more about symptoms, causes, and treatment options.
Plantar Fasciitis Treatment
Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain we see in clinic. The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue running from the underside of your heel bone to the base of your toes. When the load through it outgrows what the tissue has been conditioned to handle, it becomes irritated.
Learn moreShin Splints Treatment
Shin splints is the everyday name for medial tibial stress syndrome, a load related pain along the inner border of the shinbone. The tibia and the tissues attaching to it have been asked to absorb more repetitive impact than they have adapted to handle.
Learn moreAchilles Tendon Pain
The Achilles tendon is the strongest tendon in the body and it behaves like a spring, storing energy as it's stretched, then releasing it to generate power and movement.
Learn moreIngrown Toenail Treatment
An ingrown toenail, or onychocryptosis, happens when the edge of the nail plate presses into or pierces the skin of the nail fold beside it. The skin becomes inflamed, swollen and tender, and if the barrier breaks it can become infected. The big toe is the most common site.
Learn moreBunions Treatment
A bunion, or hallux valgus, is not simply extra bone. It is a progressive change in alignment of the first ray, where the first metatarsal drifts inwards and the big toe angles across. The bump is the head of that metatarsal becoming prominent.
Learn moreGrowing Pains & Growth Checks
Children occasionally go through rapid periods of change that can lead to growing pains. These are distinct from conditions such as Sever's disease or Osgood-Schlatter, which we also assess and treat.
Learn moreLong Standing Pain
Long-standing pain has outlasted the time the original problem should have taken to settle, generally past three months. Here that usually looks like year-old heel pain that no longer follows the first-steps-in-the-morning pattern, forefoot pain that spread into a vague ache, an ankle still unreliable after the sprain healed, or shin pain that returns whenever running volume climbs.
Learn moreFoot Stress Fractures
A stress fracture sits at the far end of a spectrum called bone stress injury. Bone remodels in response to load. When the training you ask it to absorb repeatedly outpaces the recovery it gets, remodelling falls behind, and a stress reaction can progress to a true crack in the bone.
Learn moreFoot & Leg Nerve Pain
Nerve-related symptoms in the feet and lower legs can feel like burning, pins and needles, electric or shooting pain, altered sensitivity or numbness. Morton's neuroma and tarsal tunnel syndrome are local nerve conditions of the foot and ankle; other symptoms may be part of a wider condition such as peripheral neuropathy.
Learn moreKids Podiatry & Orthotics
Children's feet are different from adult feet—they're still developing and changing. What might be normal at one age could be a concern at another. Our podiatrists have extensive experience in paediatric foot care and understand these important developmental milestones.
Learn morePodiatry for Kids
During their developmental years, children go through similar injuries, pains and problems. However, not all children grow and develop at the same rate or in the same way. This makes it tricky as a parent to know when pain is a problem or simply a developmental change.
Learn moreKnock Knees Treatment
Knock knees (genu valgum) is a condition where the knees point in towards one another while the feet and legs face straight. This can be to the point where the ankles are unable to touch without the knees knocking into each other.
Learn moreBow Legs Treatment
Bow legs (genu varum) is a condition where the knees sit outside the midline of the upper and lower legs. This can be to the point where the ankles are touching but the knees cannot come together.
Learn moreIn/Out Toeing & Curly Toes
In-toeing (pigeon toes) and out-toeing (duck feet) are conditions where the toes point inward towards the centre of the body or outward away from the midline. These walking patterns can affect your child's balance, coordination and long-term development.
Learn moreFlat Feet & Pronation
A flat foot is one where the arch is minimal or has collapsed, allowing the middle of the foot to touch or nearly touch the ground. Pronation, the inward rotation of the heel and midfoot, often accompanies flat feet and can increase stress on the structures of the lower limb.
