Melbourne, Australia -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/29/2015 -- The Melbourne podiatrists at the Foot Clinic provides patients with comprehensive services in Brunswick and Sandringham to heal, rehabilitate and correct movement patterns that increase the risk of injuries. Practitioners combine extensive experience with advanced technology to address issues pertaining to the feet of adults and children.
The clinic utilizes the advanced technology of video gait analysis to identify movement behaviors that prevent optimal performance, interferes with efficiency of movement, and can lead to pain in multiple areas throughout the body. Areas of concern can be found and treated before they become chronic problems and impair functionality.
Shockwave therapy utilizes acoustic waves to stimulate healing, increase circulation, dissolve calcium deposits, and it's beneficial as an analgesic. The therapy strengthens bone and is an effective treatment for injuries of the soft tissues.
Sports injuries typically require more intensive care and the practice's two locations provide treatment for overuse injuries, offers mechanical performance enhancement, and assistance to minimize the risk of injuries. The clinics' Melbourne podiatrists treat shin splints, tendonitis and knee cap pain, along with sprains, heel pain, and problems with the Achilles tendon.
Orthotic devices correct a variety of foot and ankle problems and can ease pain in other parts of the body originating in the foot. An orthotic corrects and supports the foot in the proper position to improve gait, ease pain, and restore natural alignment to the body. Casts are also available when appropriate. Orthotic devices are effective in treating conditions ranging from high arches, rolling inward of the ankles, and uneven leg length.
Toenails are often responsible for considerable pain and proper nail care is especially important for those with chronic diseases that include diabetes. The podiatrists provide professional trimming and care to prevent problems before they arise, corrective nail surgery when needed, and address infections that can be especially dangerous for those with circulatory conditions.
It's never too early to have a child's feet examined by a podiatrist to ensure proper development and to identify potential problems ranging from bow-legs and pigeon toes to knock-knees and flat feet. Abnormally shaped toes, stiffness and limping, and deformities of the foot are all treated. The Foot Clinic operates practices in Brunswick and Sandringham for convenient care.
