Leading Kooyong Podiatry Clinic Specialising in Custom Orthotics

If you’re a Kooyong resident struggling with foot pain, ankle discomfort, or knee problems, you don’t need to travel far for expert treatment. The Lower Limb Clinic, conveniently located just minutes from Kooyong in nearby Elsternwick, has been the trusted choice for Melbourne’s discerning families since 1997.

Your feet carry you through life, and when they’re not functioning properly, it affects everything you do. Whether you’re walking through Kooyong’s leafy streets, playing tennis at the prestigious Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club, or simply going about your daily routine, foot pain can significantly impact your quality of life.

Comprehensive Podiatry Services for Kooyong Residents

At The Lower Limb Clinic, we offer a complete range of podiatry treatments tailored to the unique needs of our Kooyong patients:

Custom Orthotics – Made On-Site in 48 Hours

Think of your feet like the foundation of a house. If that foundation isn’t level or properly supported, everything above it starts to compensate. Your body does exactly the same thing – when there’s something blocking normal movement in your foot, your body finds alternative ways to keep you walking and moving.

This compensation might work short-term, but long-term it can lead to chronic pain and conditions that affect not just your feet, but your ankles, knees, hips, and even your back.

Our custom orthotics help by:

Correcting biomechanical imbalances that cause pain
Redistributing pressure across your feet for optimal comfort
Reducing tissue loading to prevent overuse injuries
Restoring natural movement patterns and symmetry

All orthotics are manufactured by hand in our dedicated on-site laboratory using premium materials. This gives us complete control over quality and enables our industry-leading 48-hour turnaround time.

Advanced Treatment Options Available

Injection Therapy

For conditions that require more than orthotic intervention, we offer targeted injection therapy to reduce inflammation and provide pain relief.

Dry Needling

This technique helps release muscle tension and trigger points that may be contributing to your foot and ankle pain.

Minor Surgery

When conservative treatment isn’t sufficient, our surgical options can provide definitive solutions for various foot conditions.

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy helps treat a range of conditions, especially where previous conservative management has failed to resolve the issue. Conditions treated by shockwave therapy include:

Plantar Fasciitis
Achilles Tendonitis
Patellar Tendinitis (Jumper’s Knee)
Shin splints and sports injuries
Heel and Foot Spurs
Trigger point therapy
