Introduction
Foot pain is more common than you might think—and it’s not something you should ignore. At Kooyong Podiatry, we see a wide range of foot conditions every day. Here are the top 5 most common foot problems we treat, and how we help our patients get back on their feet.
1. Heel Pain (Plantar Fasciitis)
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most frequent causes of heel pain. It’s caused by inflammation of the tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot. We treat it with a combination of stretching programs, footwear advice and orthotics.
2. Ingrown Toenails
Painful and prone to infection, ingrown toenails are a common issue we treat across all age groups. We offer conservative care and, when necessary, minor nail surgery in our clinic to provide long-term relief.
3. Flat Feet
Flat feet can lead to fatigue, pain, and poor posture. Our team assesses your gait and foot structure, then recommends custom orthotics and strengthening exercises to support your arches.
4. Corns and Calluses
These thickened areas of skin can be painful and unsightly. We provide gentle debridement and advice on footwear and pressure redistribution to prevent recurrence.
5. Fungal Nail Infections
Discoloured, brittle nails are often a sign of fungal infection. We offer topical treatments, nail care, and preventative strategies to restore healthy nails.
