Podiatry at Sports Lab

Podiatry is the study or the practice to improve mobility and enhance the independence of individuals by the prevention and management of pathological foot problems and associated morbidity. As podiatrists we achieve this by providing advice on the health, assessment and diagnosis of foot pathology and providing treatment options. Sports Lab’s podiatrists are professionals with special interest and training in the branch of medicine known as podiatric medicine with their focus being in sports medicine and children’s lower limb development. At Sports Lab we only use only tested research and methods to assess and manage foot and ankle issues. 


Why Should You See a Podiatrist?

Podiatrists are health care professionals who have been trained to prevent, diagnose, treat and rehabilitate abnormal conditions of the feet and lower limbs. They also prevent and correct deformity, keep people mobile and active, relieve pain and treat infections.


We can give you and your family advice on how to look after your feet and what type of shoes to wear.  We can also treat and alleviate day-to-day foot problems.


Don’t hesitate to contact any of our clinics or book online to make an appointment with one of our Podiatrists. Please note that we accept all EPC plans and Veterans. All health funds accepted.

Types of Foot & Lower Limb Injuries

 

 

A significant proportion of sports-related injury is directly attributed to the feet or lower limbs, as they are the weight-bearing structures of your body, which are most vulnerable under stress or constant impact.


The most common injuries that we treat include:      

  • Patellofemoral syndrome (knee cap pain)
  • Plantar fasciitis (acute heel/arch pain)
  • Plantar fasciosis (chronic long term heel spur pain)
  • Shin splints (medial tibial stress syndrome)
  • Achilles tenderness
  • Ankle pain (sprained ankles)
  • Metatarsalgia/sesamoidiits (forefoot pain)
  • Ankle sprains
  • Biomechanical alignment
  • Mechanical efficiency
  • Orthotic gait assistance

Through thorough biomechanical and gait or treadmill assessments we will determine the potential cause and formulate a management plan for the best possible results.
