FAQ’s
What is a podiatrist?
A Podiatrist is a health professional who deals with the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of medical conditions of the lower legs and feet.
Podiatrists are experts in foot, ankle, and lower limb health. They can help to prevent, diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions affecting the feet and lower limbs.
How often do I need to see a podiatrist?
Some of the issues our clients experience are ongoing – like difficult-to-cut toenails and painful callouses or corns. After discussing your needs, we will create an individual plan for your comfort and care. Highett Podiatry has many patients who have regularly accessed our general foot care services for over 20 years, fostering a long-term patient/practitioner relationship.
Other issues may require short treatment plans, such as sports injuries, orthotic assessment, and nail surgery.
If you suffer from foot pain, make time to visit our clinic. ‘Your feet tell you when you are due to see your podiatrist!’ Remember your podiatrist is your first choice of practitioner to address, diagnose and treat your foot pain.
