Your Podiatrist in Cairns provides services dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and management of medical conditions and injuries of the foot, ankle and lower limb.
Foot and ankle problems can be caused from chronic medical conditions like Arthritis or Diabetes, however the wearing of ill fitting shoes is a very real concern as this can cause acute pain in the feet.
People who may need to visit heir local Podiatrist include those who:
People who are prone to aches and pains such as shin splints – Shin splints’ is a term referring to pain felt anywhere along the shinbone from knee to ankle. Shin splints are often caused by issues through the foot and ankle, the most common being over-pronation or ‘rolling in’ when running.
Suffer with Arthritis – Our Podiatrist will carefully assess the severity of the condition and can recommend the appropriate footwear and level of support for your feet. This reduces the risks of other injuries such as blisters, corns and calluses that can be caused by ill-fitting footwear.
Have Diabetes – Regular podiatric care plays an integral role in the prevention of diabetic foot complications such as the likelihood of limb amputation.
Suffer with ingrown toenails – Our Podiatrist will assess problem toenails to identify the best possible treatment option. In some cases, a minor ingrown toenail surgery is required and provides a permanent solution to the issue.
