Services
Achilles Pain Treatment
Specialised care for Achilles tendinitis using advanced diagnostic techniques and non-invasive treatments. Our podiatrists address inflammation caused by sports injuries or overuse through tailored rehabilitation programs. Treatment combines therapeutic exercises with biomechanical assessments to restore mobility and prevent recurrence.
Bunion Correction
Comprehensive management of bunions through conservative treatments and surgical referrals. We provide gait analysis, custom orthotics, and footwear advice to alleviate pressure while addressing underlying structural issues. Our approach focuses on pain relief and improved foot function.
Diabetic Foot Assessment
Specialised evaluations for diabetes-related foot complications including circulation issues and nerve damage. Regular check-ups help prevent serious conditions through early detection of ulcers, infections, or structural changes requiring intervention.
Foot Mobilisation Therapy
Hands-on treatment for joint restrictions and biomechanical imbalances. This non-invasive technique improves foot function through specific movements that enhance mobility, reduce pain, and correct alignment issues affecting gait patterns.
Orthotics Prescription
Tailored orthotic solutions following comprehensive biomechanical assessments. Our custom-made insoles address abnormal foot mechanics, providing support for conditions like flat feet while improving overall posture and reducing strain on lower limbs.

A truly welcoming environment with a friendly atmosphere created by staff on arrival. Such positive interaction with Alison regarding my long term foot problems. Provided with a clear plan for recovery expectations that I can work towards. Thank you so much.

Report
I have been so impressed by my whole foot centre experience. After months of pain Roxanne was able to immediately identify my problem and with the use of the shockwave treatment I can now walk pain free. Roxannes follow up messages showed that the Foot centre really cared.

Report
When I first met Alison Fitzgerald of The Foot Centre, I could barely walk and was in so much pain. My experience with Alison was life changing. Not only does she do what she does very well, she is also caring and compassionate. I now walk pain free. I highly recommend Alison and her dedicated team to anyone with foot problems.

Alison has provided exceptionally professional care over the years. Recently I was able to complete the Salkantay trek to Machu Picchu (over 50km of rocky terrain at altitudes up to 4600m) without a blister - thanks to alison's expert advice and taping demonstration!
