Your feet are your foundation, and healthy feet are essential to overall health. If you are experiencing pain, discomfort or issues with your foot or lower leg, a podiatrist can assist in the management of the problem and ensure that it doesn’t become serious.

Foot injuries are not only common in athletes, but can also be a significant issue for children and young adults. Often they are caused by repetitive stress or pressure on the feet, such as jumping or running. If left untreated this can lead to heel pain, shin splints, tendon injuries and other problems.

Taking Care of Your Feet: Finding the Right Ballarat Podiatrist

At Ballarat Podiatrist, we have extensive experience treating a range of foot issues including nail conditions (corns, bunions and ingrown toenails), sports injuries, biomechanical problems, chiropody, shockwave therapy, dry needling and orthotic prescription and modification. Our team is also skilled in managing high risk feet, which are those that are prone to infection and ulceration due to health issues such as diabetes.

In addition to our home visits and in-clinic services, Ballarat Podiatry is a Medicare-accredited provider. This means that if you are diagnosed by your doctor and have an Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) plan lodged, Medicare will pay for part of the podiatry fee. Please discuss with your GP whether you are eligible for this. This is a great way to get your foot health managed in the best possible way, without any financial barriers.
