Podiatry for Macleod Locals
These are some of the common reasons people come to see a podiatrist at our Rosanna clinic. How much treatment helps varies from person to person. Your podiatrist will tell you what to expect after your assessment.
If you have diabetes, Diabetes Australia recommends a thorough foot check at least once a year. We check the skin and feeling in your feet, and use a Doppler to check the blood flow.
If you have diabetes, don't wait for an appointment if you notice an ulcer, unusual swelling, redness, blisters, an ingrown nail, or bruising or cuts on your feet. Diabetes Australia advises getting medical treatment the same day.
Children's Podiatry near Macleod
Flat feet, feet that turn in, toe walking, curly toes, or sore heels in a busy, sporty child? At a children's podiatry visit we check how your child stands and walks, explain what we find, and talk through whether anything needs doing now or can be watched as they grow.
Daniella, Samantha and Rob all list children's feet among their interests.
Your First Visit
30 minutes, with your assessment and treatment in the same visit.
We Listen
What's bothering you, your general health and medicines, your footwear and what you do each day.
We Check Your Feet
Skin and nails, and where needed the feeling and blood flow in your feet, and how you stand and walk.
We Explain
What we found and your options, in plain English, including whether you need to see your GP first.
We Start Treatment
Most first visits include treatment on the day. If you'd benefit from anything else, such as orthotics, we'll explain why and what it costs first. It's always your choice.
What to bring: a list of your medicines, any X-rays, the shoes you wear most (for work, casual and sport), your GP's details, your health fund card, and any GP referral or care plan.
