FOOT PAIN

Newcastle Foot & Ankle Clinic are experienced in the management of lower limb pain-related issues. We provide a full assessment, diagnosis and treatment of both acute and chronic complaints.

If you are concerned with the growth and development of your child's feet or your own foot posture, we can assess and advise you. Biomechanical reviews are important in order to maintain gait and mobility, and our podiatrists will recommend appropriate treatments to assist you. These may include strapping, splinting, stretching techniques, acupressure, mobilisation or orthotic therapy, all of which can be customised to your needs.

FOOT SURGERY

Patients with structural or functional foot problems may require surgical treatment. Before seeking a referral to a foot surgeon, we do recommend consulting with your podiatrist, who can ensure you have appropriate imaging for your surgical review.

FOOT CARE

Our podiatrists offer expert foot-care for a range of concerns. Some of these include corns, calluses, warts, ingrown toenails, cracked heels and general foot hygiene issues. We can also review basic neuro-vascular issues for diabetic or aged patients, as required.

Newcastle Foot & Ankle Clinic maintains strict hygiene policies for our treatment rooms, ensuring they are meticulously cleaned and they are fitted with modern equipment. All instruments are sterilised in accordance with Australian Standards, so there is minimal risk of infection.
