Frequently Asked Questions

Podiatry is a branch of medicine focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing conditions affecting the feet, ankles, and lower limbs. Podiatrists are healthcare professionals who specialise in addressing these issues to improve mobility and quality of life.

A referral is not required to book an appointment with a podiatrist. However, if you already have one, bringing it along can offer additional insights into your condition and may assist with insurance claims if required by your provider.

During your first visit, the podiatrist will:

1. Listen to Your Concern and Review Your Medical History – Discuss your symptoms, past injuries, existing conditions, and medications.

2. Conduct a Thorough Examination – Assess your feet, ankles, and lower limbs, checking alignment, joint movement, and overall health.

3. Discuss Your Diagnosis – Explain your condition and the underlying causes.

4. Develop a Treatment Plan – Recommend personalised treatments. 

5. Answer Your Questions – Address any concerns about your condition and treatment options.

What to Bring:

• Relevant medical documents or referrals.

• Relevant Imaging reports (e.g., X-rays, MRIs).

• Your usual footwear.

• A list of medications.

*Please wear comfortable clothing, preferably pants that can be easily rolled up, to allow the podiatrist to assess your knees and hips if necessary.

If you're experiencing issues with your feet, ankles, knees, or legs, seeing a podiatrist is highly recommended. Podiatrists specialise in diagnosing and treating a variety of conditions, including sports injuries, arthritis, structural abnormalities, skin and nail infections, and diabetic foot care. Early intervention can prevent complications, improve mobility, and speed up recovery.
