Through early intervention and personalised treatment plans, podiatry care can help relieve discomfort, improve mobility and support long-term foot health.
Podiatry Services Available at Atlas Podiatry
Podiatry is a healthcare discipline focused on conditions affecting the feet, ankles and lower limbs. Because the feet support the body's weight and play a vital role in movement, even minor problems can affect comfort, mobility and quality of life.
Podiatrists assess both the symptoms and the underlying factors contributing to foot and ankle problems. This may include evaluating gait patterns, foot structure, footwear choices, activity levels and medical conditions that may affect foot health.
Many foot conditions develop gradually and may worsen over time if left untreated. Early assessment can help identify the cause of symptoms and allow appropriate treatment before complications arise.
While these healthcare professionals may all treat musculoskeletal conditions, their areas of focus differ.
Depending on the condition, podiatrists often work alongside other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care.
Atlas Podiatry operates from our Upper Thomson clinic, providing specialised assessment and treatment for a wide range of foot, ankle, lower limb, nail and conditions.
Their team works closely with Phoenix Medical Group to provide patients with convenient access to podiatry services within a multidisciplinary healthcare setting.
Many people assume foot pain, nail or skin problems will resolve on their own. However, persistent symptoms can sometimes indicate an underlying issue that may benefit from professional assessment.
You may wish to see a podiatrist if you experience:
Seeking professional advice early may help identify underlying causes and prevent symptoms from becoming more difficult to manage.
Foot pain can arise from a wide range of causes, including overuse injuries, changes in foot structure, tendon problems, joint conditions and underlying medical issues. Because many of these conditions share similar symptoms, identifying the underlying cause is often an important first step towards effective treatment.
Podiatrists are trained to assess the feet, ankles and lower limbs as a whole. In addition to evaluating the area of discomfort, they consider factors such as gait patterns, foot mechanics, footwear, activity levels and medical history to understand what may be contributing to symptoms.
Whether the problem involves persistent heel pain, bunions, recurring ankle discomfort or pain during walking and exercise, a podiatry assessment can help guide appropriate treatment and long-term management.
Podiatrists manage a wide range of conditions affecting the feet, ankles, lower limbs, toenails and skin. While some issues develop gradually over time, others may arise from injury, underlying medical conditions or repetitive strain.
Below are some of the more common reasons individuals seek podiatry care:
Heel pain is one of the most common reasons people seek podiatry care. While discomfort may develop gradually, it can eventually interfere with walking, exercise and daily activities.
A common cause of heel pain is plantar fasciitis, a condition involving irritation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that supports the arch of the foot. Some individuals may also develop heel spurs or other mechanical causes of heel pain.
Common symptoms include:
Depending on the underlying cause, treatment may include footwear recommendations, stretching programmes, custom orthotics, activity modification and Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT).
Ingrown toenails (link to AP’s ingrown toenail) occur when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, often resulting in pain, redness, swelling or infection.
While some cases are mild, recurrent or untreated ingrown toenails can become increasingly uncomfortable and affect daily activities.
Treatment options may include:
Onyfix® is a non-invasive nail correction system designed to guide nail growth and reduce pressure on the surrounding skin. Unlike surgical procedures, Onyfix® does not require nail removal and may be suitable for selected patients with recurring ingrown toenails.
Fungal nail infections can cause toenails to become thickened, brittle, discoloured or distorted in appearance.
Although fungal infections may initially appear to be a cosmetic concern, they can sometimes worsen over time and become more difficult to treat.
Management options may include:
Lunula Laser® is a non-invasive treatment designed to target fungal nail infections without causing damage to surrounding tissue. It may be recommended as part of a broader fungal nail management plan depending on the individual's condition.
The structure and alignment of the feet can have a significant impact on comfort, balance and mobility.
Conditions commonly assessed by podiatrists include:
These conditions may contribute to:
Treatment focuses on improving foot mechanics and reducing symptoms. Depending on the individual's needs, recommendations may include custom orthotics, Richie Brace® solutions, footwear modifications and activity adjustments.
Physical activity places repetitive stress on the feet, ankles and lower limbs. Over time, this may contribute to pain, tendon injuries or ankle instability, particularly in individuals who participate in running and sports.
Common sports-related conditions include:
Assessment often includes an evaluation of movement patterns, training habits and foot mechanics.
Treatment may involve:
The goal is not only to address current symptoms but also to reduce the likelihood of future injury.
Diabetes can affect circulation, sensation and wound healing, increasing the risk of foot complications.
Some individuals may experience reduced sensation in their feet, making it difficult to detect injuries or pressure-related damage.
Podiatry plays an important role in preventive diabetic foot care through:
Early detection of diabetic foot problems can help reduce the risk of serious complications and support long-term foot health.
In addition to the conditions above, Atlas Podiatry also manages a variety of other foot, ankle, skin and nail concerns.
These include:
Nail conditions
Skin conditions
Other sources of foot discomfort
Where necessary, further investigations or tailored treatment plans may be recommended to address the underlying cause of symptoms.
For individuals visiting a podiatrist for the first time, the consultation typically begins with a discussion about symptoms, medical history and any factors that may be affecting foot health.
Depending on the reason for the visit, the podiatrist may assess:
For patients with diabetes or wound-related concerns, additional assessments may be performed to evaluate circulation, sensation and overall foot risk.
Following the assessment, the podiatrist will explain the findings and discuss appropriate treatment options. These may include footwear advice, orthotic therapy, nail and skin care, rehabilitation strategies or other treatments tailored to the individual's condition and goals.
Treatment recommendations vary depending on the underlying condition, severity of symptoms and individual goals. Atlas Podiatry offers a range of conservative, corrective and modern treatment options designed to improve foot health, relieve discomfort and support long-term mobility.
Atlas Podiatry offers a range of treatments designed to improve nail health and manage common nail conditions.
These include:
Many foot and ankle conditions are influenced by how pressure is distributed during standing and walking.
Treatment options may include:
For selected conditions, advanced treatment options may be recommended as part of a comprehensive management plan.
Available therapies include:
These treatments are commonly used for certain chronic tendon and musculoskeletal conditions.
For individuals with diabetes or complex wound-related concerns, specialised services may include:
