Foot & Ankle Injuries

Healthy feet are the foundation of confidence and allow us to walk tall with ease into any situation. Often abused and neglected we take our feet for granted until something goes wrong or we become embarrassed by them.

Our feet can affect our ability to enjoy the most basic activities in our daily lives and if troubled can prevent us from doing things we love to do. Podantics aims to give feet the time they deserve.

Conditions We Treat

Below is a list of some of the problems our podiatrists can help with:

Video & Pressure Analysis

Using state of the art force platforms synchronised with digital video cameras our Podiatrist’s are able to provide an accurate clinical analysis of your posture, balance and gait.

Video gait analysis is used to assess your gait pattern and lower limb alignment during walking and running gait. It gives you an opportunity to inspect and understand your own lower limb biomechanics and the role of correct footwear and/or orthotics.

Video and Pressure analysis also enables us to accurately diagnose the problem and create a tailored treatment plan for each person and are available at our Unley clinic.

Diagnostic Scans and X-rays

In some cases your podiatrist may advise on further investigations for definitive diagnosis or to ascertain the integrity or damage of a specific structure. If required your Podiatrists can order X-rays and ultrasound.

Treating Foot Injuries

Each person requires a slightly different treatment regime depending on the cause of their problem is and the level of damage present.
Treatments may consist of Strapping, Braces, Massage, Orthotics, Mobilisation of the joints, Trigger point therapy/dry needling, insoles, exercises, stretching, wobble board exercises, alteration in training regime, and more.
