Most patients come to us because something hurts. This page focuses on the foot and ankle conditions we commonly see at our Forest Hill clinic, from stubborn heel pain and Achilles tendon problems through to ankle sprains, forefoot pain and sports injuries.
We use over 30 years of experience in musculoskeletal podiatry to diagnose pain from the knee down and match it with sensible treatment – often drawing on options such as orthotics, shockwave, laser and injection therapies when they are genuinely needed.
These are the foot and ankle problems we most often see in the clinic – the heel pain, Achilles issues, forefoot pain, ankle sprains, shin pain and flat feet that stop people walking, working and playing sport comfortably. Each condition page explains the problem in plain language and how we approach treatment.
Many patients are not sure which label applies to their pain. In that case, booking a musculoskeletal foot and ankle assessment is usually the most sensible first step.
Our clinic is in Brentford Square, Forest Hill, and we regularly see patients with these conditions from nearby suburbs including Blackburn, Nunawading, Mitcham and Vermont.
Good podiatry isn’t about gadgets or trends. It’s careful diagnosis, sensible treatment and giving patients a clear plan they can stick to.
