Your feet are the key to keeping you upright and Port Macquarie podiatrist Amy Cutler is dedicated to the correct treatment and care of your feet. So many problems or pain associated with your feet can be easily treated and prevented. Often, people will live with pain until it becomes a part of their daily routine, but it doesn't have to be this way. Amy Cutler is passionate about treating injury and pain as soon as it's noticed. As well as offering general podiatry for Hastings River locals at the Greenmeadows Health Centre in Port Macquarie, Amy specialises in diabetes-related foot care. Research has uncovered a link between podiatric assessment, treatment and education and the prevention of serious complications in diabetics' feet. Podiatry can also help to relieve the symptoms of arthritis. From toes to ankle, there are treatments that Amy can administer to ease discomfort and increase mobility. Even the smallest wanderers are included, with Amy's dedication to Port Macquarie's paediatric foot care. Because children's feet develop at different times, problems can occur during these developmental stages. Pain in children is certainly not considered normal, so Amy will endeavour to remedy any issues immediately. She can also help with footwear recommendations and general advice for parents on how to look after their childrens' feet. If you suffer from biomechanical problems, small deviations can turn into be problems for anyone living a relatively active lifestyle. Amy deals with orthotics and can discuss prescriptions and recommendations.
