Podiatrist Glen Iris

If you’re a runner or you’re on your feet all day at work, we can help you find the right shoes. For folks with diabetes, we offer regular check-ups to catch any issues early. And for the little ones, we can check how their feet are developing and give advice on the best shoes for them.

Sometimes we need to do small procedures, like for stubborn ingrown toenails, but don’t worry – we’ll make sure you’re comfortable. We also offer more specialised treatments like shockwave therapy for stubborn injuries, and dry needling for muscle tension.

But a big part of what we do is just teaching our patients how to look after their feet. We’ll give you tips on preventing problems and keeping your feet happy. So whether you need a quick fix or ongoing care, we’re here to help keep you on your feet and moving comfortably.

Custom Orthotics

Custom orthotics are special inserts for your shoes that provide extra support and take the pressure off of problem areas. They can help with foot pain, balance issues, and even sports injuries. We make our orthotics right in our clinic, so they’re perfect for your feet. They can help if you have:

• Flat feet or high arches
• Heel pain and plantar fasciitis
• Ankle instability
• Knee or back pain from how you walk
