Podiatrists treat all types of foot and leg problems. We like to think of Podiatry as being a combination of a Medicine , Physiotherapy and Chiropody focusing on the lower limb.
Today’s Podiatrist is skilled in many aspects of care and treatments including:
- Local Anaesthetics
- Prescribing X-rays, Ultrasounds and MRIs
- Assessing gait and lower limb function
- Prescribing custom orthotics and other inserts
- Assessing the high risk and diabetic foot for circulation , sensation and risk of complications
- Footwear advice
- General care of foot pressure problems such as callous and corns, and nail cutting
- Surgery to ingrown toe nails
- Verracae treatments
At Podicare Eastern Hills our Podiatrists and Podiatry Assistants can take care of you feet and legs.
