Sports, Work & Overuse Injuries
Podiatrists are the experts when it comes to injuries of the foot and ankle. Over 50% of runners will get a lower limb injury each year. Children and active teens have unique types of injuries related to growth plates and exercise. Workplace injuries, return to work programs and over use injuries to the bones, tendons and ligaments of the feet are all things podiatrists can help with.
We start with a detailed history of your injury or pain, we carry out a non weight bearing, weight bearing and gait assessment of your lower limb. We assess your footwear. We design a treatment plan to help you over come your injury and get back to your usual life pain free.
We accept all clients for this service, private with or without health funds, referrals from your GPs and other allied health practitioners like your chiropractor or physiotherapist.
It is really important for our workers compensation clients to get pre approval for the initial consultation. Before starting any treatment plan we provide a report to your case manager to get approval so you do not incur any costs.
