Carousel Podiatry

Is your child 🧒 experiencing "growing pains"? You've come to the right place then.

Many people believe that ‘growth spurts’ are the cause of pains of the hips, knees, legs, shins, ankles or feet in children but majority of these cases are the result of biomechanical malalignment. Some cases of “night pains” in children can be attributed to an episode of increased activity 🏃‍♀️ often without appropriate footwear. 👟 This puts increased stress and pressure on the small joints, muscles, and ligaments of your child, causing them pain or discomfort.

It is important to have your child appropriately assessed by a podiatrist, call us on ☎️ (08) 6269 2038 to book an appointment today at one of our various locations across Perth. 🤩

With our kid's 👦 off school 📚 this is the perfect opportunity to get them into the Podiatrist for a kid's foot 🦶 check before life gets busy again.

Ideally it is a good idea to get your kid's feet 🦶 checked annually to make sure they are developing without any issues. If your child is complaining of pain, tiredness, tripping/falling or no longer participating in sports ⚽ and activities it is important to get your child in for a foot check!

All of our Podiatrists are able to help look after your kid's feet! Book them an appointment before school comes around by calling ☎️ 6269 2038.

Relieve heel 😌 and arch pain with a Pediroller! Available in clinic for only $20 🤩

Pedirollers can be used as it is or after being frozen ❄️ to help reduce inflammation 🔥. Simply roll your foot from heel to arch across the the ridges of the pediroller for 3-5 minutes, twice daily. This will massage your plantar fascia, band of connective tissue running along the bottom of your foot, resulting in less tension and more circulation. This in turn, causes more flexibility and provides pain relief. 🙌

Pedirollers can be helpful if you're suffering from:
👉 Tired feet
👉 Arch pain
👉 Plantar fasciitis

Our process of providing you with custom orthotics involves three 👌 steps: orthotic casting, orthotic fitting and orthotic review.

☝️ At your orthotic casting, your Podiatrist will take a 3D scan or plaster mould of your feet. This will then be sent to a lab to be made into orthotics.

✌️ At your orthotic fitting, your Podiatrist will ensure they have been made correctly and fit to your feet and shoes the way you need them to.

👌 At your orthotic review, your Podiatrist will ensure the orthotics have been doing their job and make any adjustments as required.

If you want to get the orthotic process started, simply call ☎ (08) 6269 2038 to book an appointment!

Did you know 🤔 that we offer semi-custom orthotics as well as fully custom orthotics?

Both sets of orthotics will support biomechanical alignment and provide pain relief for a range of common conditions.

💥 We sell high-density Vasyli orthotics as our semi-custom option. These are pre-made orthotics that are heat mouldable so that they can be somewhat fitted to your feet. They are also more durable than other over-the-shelf orthotic options, making them last longer. These are ideal for children who's feet grow quickly and patients who are price conscious.

💥 Our custom orthotics involves a 3D scan of your foot to create orthotics that are specific to your foot type and needs, resulting in better biomechanical alignment, better pain relief and a better fit into footwear. They are also of a higher quality so tend to last much longer than the semi-custom option. These are the ideal option for everyone.

If you think you may benefit from orthotics, book in to have an assessment with one of our podiatrists today. Just call ☎ (08) 6269 2038

🦵 Knee Pain 🦵

Knee pain 🦵 is a very common injury and can be the result of damage to the structures that surround the knee such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, joint capsule, bursae, cartilage and bone.

Due to the complexity of the knee, knee pain can be caused by a wide range of things, such as 👉 excessive force though the joint, degeneration, poor knee alignment, referred pain from the hip or as a result of poor foot biomechanics.
Treatments for knee pain include orthotics to improve biomechanics and knee alignment, trigger point therapy to alleviate tight muscles and advice on stretching and strengthening exercises.

If you have knee pain, our Podiatrists 👩‍⚕️ can assess your knee to determine what is causing the pain and provide the relevant treatment. Book an appointment on ☎️ (08) 6269 2038

Do you 🤔 get shin splints?

Shin splints 🦵 are caused by the inflammation 💥 of the muscles and tissues that connect to your shin bone. It often presents as pain along the shin bone or on either side of your shin bone. Sometimes the painful area can be swollen and painful to touch.

Shin splints are most common in runners 🏃 and are most commonly caused by suddenly increasing the amount or intensity of the exercise you do. It can also be caused by running on hard surfaces, over-pronation and poor footwear.

Podiatrists can help diagnose shin splints and provide treatment such as orthotics, strength and conditioning exercises and footwear advice. If you are suffering from shin pain, book an appointment today on ☎ (08) 6269 2038.
