Podiatrists are trained
to treat many conditions affecting the feet by a variety of medical,
physical, electrical and surgical treatments.
Most podiatrists spend much of their time treating
problems such as corns, callouses, mishapen nails and general disorders
of the skin. These types of conditions are routinely treated at
WA Podiatry Clinics.
People with diabetes often seek treatment with our
podiatrists. Diabetes can affect the sensation and circulation to
the lower limbs and feet making them more susceptible to foot problems.
The podiatrists at our clinics can assess and monitor the lower
limbs for early detection of any problems.
Another significant area of expertise is in the diagnoses
and treatment of gait and growth related problems. Flat feet, bunions,
hammer toes, heel spur pain and many general aches and pains of
the feet can readily be treated at our clinics. Remember
it is not normal to have aching or tired legs and feet.
Many problems are related to poor foot motion or incorrect foot
posture and can readily be treated.
Orthotic therapy is another key area
of practice within our clinics. We undertake a gait and motion assessment
and then prescribed orthotic supports to assist the foot to function
at its best possible position. This lessens the stresses on the
joints and muscles and relieves pain quickly. Sportsmen and woman
and those with active lifestyles and occupations often benefit greatly
from orthotics.
The Gosnells Clinic stocks a variety of men’s and women’s Orthaheel sandals and lace up walking shoes.
The Orthaheel brand is podiatrist designed and features excellent foot support. They are lightweight, well made, feature built in arch support and they look good. |
