Podiatrist Therapy, Ultrasound Therapy, Laser Therapy, Paraffin Wax Foot Bath

At Camberwell Road Podiatry our Melbourne podiatrists have access to a wide range of therapies to help treat your foot problem and speed up your recovery.

Therapies offered onsite include:

Ultrasound therapy

Therapeutic ultrasound stimulates the tissue beneath the skin's surface using sound waves. The heating and massaging effects of ultrasound increases blood flow in the treated area and helps reduce swelling and oedema. This leads to reduced pain and quicker healing times for soft tissue injuries.

Our podiatrists use therapeutic ultrasound to help treat injuries to muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints.

Laser therapy

Laser therapy is the application of light (red and infrared) over injuries to create therapeutic effects. Laser therapy works on the cells by converting light into biochemical energy, which the cells then use to commence their own tissue repair. This biostimulating effect of laser therapy helps reduce pain, decrease inflammation and increase tissue repair.

In our practice laser therapy is used to help treat:

• Soft tissue injuries
• Arthritic joint pain
• Nerve entrapment
• Ulcers

Laser therapy can also be used as an alternative to needles for acupuncture.
