Podiatrist Near Kuraby

Why Should I See a Podiatrist?

Below are some of the common foot conditions that our experienced podiatrists can address:

• Plantar Fasciitis: Characterised by inflammation of the plantar fascia, this condition causes sharp heel pain and can significantly impair your ability to walk comfortably.
• Bunions: These painful, bony bumps form at the joint of the big toe and are often the result of bone misalignment. They can cause considerable discomfort and make it difficult to find suitable footwear.
• Corns & Calluses: These thickened areas of skin develop from constant friction or pressure, usually on the toes and soles, and can be particularly uncomfortable.
• Heel Spurs: Often linked with plantar fasciitis, these calcium deposits form on the underside of the heel bone and can cause severe, stabbing pain.
• Ingrown Toenails: This painful condition arises when the edges of a toenail grow into the surrounding skin, causing redness, swelling and sometimes infection.
• Athlete's Foot: A contagious fungal infection that affects the skin on the feet, typically starting between the toes. It manifests as itching, burning and cracked skin.
• Flat Feet: When the arches of the feet are flattened, it can lead to discomfort and additional strain on the ankles and knees, affecting overall mobility.
• Ankle Sprains: These injuries occur when the ligaments in the ankle are overstretched or torn, usually due to awkward twisting or turning, resulting in pain and swelling.
