WHAT DOES A PODIATRIST DO?
At Highett Podiatry, we perform the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions affecting the feet, ankles, and lower legs; such as skin and nail conditions, foot injuries, and chronic pain.
Some of the specific tasks that our team performs include examining and diagnosing foot and ankle problems, prescribing medication, recommending exercises and therapies, performing surgeries, and providing education and advice on how to maintain healthy feet.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO VISIT A PODIATRIST?
There are several reasons why it’s important to visit a podiatrist instead of letting your foot problems go unaddressed, including;
Early detection of foot problems
We can detect foot problems before they become more severe or chronic. Early detection and treatment can prevent your condition from worsening and reduce the risk of complications.
Proper diagnosis for conditions
We can diagnose foot problems accurately and provide the appropriate treatment plan for each patient. Our podiatrists have the knowledge and expertise to distinguish between similar-looking conditions, which can prevent misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment.
Prevention
We can provide advice on how to prevent foot problems and injuries, such as recommending proper footwear, exercises, and stretching techniques.
Pain relief
We can provide treatment options to relieve pain caused by foot problems, such as plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, and bunions.
Improved mobility
We can help improve mobility and function of the feet and lower limbs, allowing patients to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle.
Management of chronic conditions
We can help manage chronic conditions that affect the feet, such as diabetes and arthritis, which can reduce the risk of complications and improve your overall quality of life.
