The older you are, the more likely you are to suffer pain in your lower limbs and feet from years of walking and prolonged periods of standing when working. As we enter our senior years, it is important that we take good care of our feet, so as to limit the possibility of medical problems and to reduce the chance of infections and hospitalisation.
Most seniors consider podiatry centres a treatment place for just nails, corns and callus. We do offer these treatments, but much more. Our Melbourne podiatrists treat a whole range of foot problems from arthritis, diabetes and joint pain (hip, knees, ankle, feet…etc.) to ingrown toenail treatment and ingrown toenail surgery. By using computer gait analysis we can assess your walking pattern and advise you if your feet would benefit from orthotics to improve foot function. We can also advise you on the correct footwear for ageing feet and preventive foot care maintenance, helping keep you more mobile and active longer.
Why your foot care is important
Your feet, with your lower limbs, are essentially responsible for your movement, balance and handling your weight. They are often the first part of your body which can indicate a health problem, especially if you are suffering pain from prolonged periods of standing, walking or running. At Camberwell Road Podiatry your feet are our priority, as they can determine your future mobility. From your early steps, through your most active years and onto your senior years your feet define you.
As a parent, you’ll realise the importance of your child’s feet from their first steps to their busy daily activities. These first steps and busy activities may trigger injury or even alert you to unusual shoe wear or an unusual walking pattern, indicating an underlying health problem involving their limbs or feet.
Our Melbourne podiatrists are experienced with treating children of all ages. They will perform a thorough history and examination often involving computer gait analysis and inform you on the best podiatry care for your child. They can also assess your child’s suitability for orthotics and determine the best orthotic treatment plan for your child.
Children use many types of footwear, the variety and choice can be overwhelming. You may have concerns about choosing the right type of shoes, runners or sandals. Our Melbourne podiatrists specialise in children’s feet and can happily advise you on what to look for when buying children’s footwear.
Sports years: Managing running feet
Our Melbourne podiatrists have a special interest in sports podiatry and vast experience in treating both acute and chronic overuse sporting injuries including:
- Shin splints
- Achilles tendonitis
- Ankle sprains
- Plantar fasciitis
- Stress fractures
These types of injuries need a sports podiatrist’s intervention for corrective treatment, so enabling better and safer performance.
Our sports focused podiatrists specialise in human biomechanics and use computer gait analysis to help diagnose the cause of sports injuries. The specialist team at our Melbourne podiatry centre can also accurately assess your running gait and design custom-made orthotic devices for your sports shoes. By improving foot function and lower leg mechanics custom-made orthotics can help treat and prevent many lower leg sporting injuries.
