Welcome to Alice Springs Podiatry Alice Springs Podiatry is a specialised clinic which provides comprehensive diagnosis, management and treatment for all foot, ankle and leg conditions. We are very experienced in treating all aspects of podiatry including General Podiatry, Diabetes Foot Care, Sports Injuries, and Post-Surgical Rehabilitation. Alice Springs Podiatry has a special interest in heel pain, aching feet, shin pain, ankle pain, warts, ingrown toenails, bunions, and childrens growing pains. At Alice Springs Podiatry, we consider your entire posture when we talk about your feet. When your feet are out-of alignment, it forces other joints in your body to become out-of alignment. You may have noticed that you walk differently due to foot pain or other foot problems. A change to the normal walking pattern can lead to stress and strain in other areas of the body and will affect the bodys posture, balance and function. How do we treat? How we treat you at Alice Springs Podiatry will be determined following a thorough examination. A correct diagnosis will ensure the best treatment outcome. We use the latest techniques and technologies to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. We provide routine foot care which includes general nail care, and treatment of corns, callous & cracked heels. We perform ingrown toenail surgery & diabetes foot assessments. We provide video gait analysis to assess the function and posture of the feet, ankles and legs. We offer the latest 3D laserscan computer generated orthotics. These have proven to be extremely accurate, and both soft and rigid orthotics can be manufactured from foot scans. At Alice Springs Podiatry we offer various forms of physical therapy. Strengthening/stretching exercises, dry needling, acupuncture, deep tissue massage and joint mobilisation. Joint mobilisation is a technique used to ease away joint restrictions - think of it like massage for your foot joints! This improves the mobility around your joints by releasing connective tissue restrictions and restoring your joints to their correct position. Alice Springs Podiatry is the only clinic in Alice Springs which offers Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT). ESWT is a highly effective treatment for heel pain (plantar fasciitis), Achilles tendonitis, shin pain and other soft tissue injuries. ESWT involves the application of high energy acoustic waves to increases blood flow, collagen regeneration and stimulates the bodys own healing mechanisms.
