What is a Podiatrist?
Podiatrists are university educated foot health professionals. They diagnose and treat specific foot and lower limb conditions, including foot problems associated with diabetes and arthritis.
Why do feet need specialist care?
Our feet are very complex with many bones, as well as a network of muscles; ligaments and joints. Our feet are vulnerable to injury and disease. By the age of 50 our feet have lost up to 1/2 of the shock - absorbing capability of the natural foot pad - these cannot be replaced like a pair of shoes!
Some feet have special needs:
Children's feet
Sporting feet
Working feet
Mature feet
Feet affected by disease
Foot Pain
"My feet are killing me" is a common cry!
Sore feet are not normal, you would visit your dentist for a toothache so you should visit your podiatrist if you suffer from sore and tired feet.
At Wagga Foot Clinic we are qualified to identify and treat the cause of your foot pain which could occur due to any of the following problems:
Biomechanics (structure of the foot)
Inappropriate footwear
Growths (corns, calluses)
Disease (diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis)
Infection (tinea, warts)
Injury
