Podiatry Tips

Orthotics made for cycling are different from those designed for daily activities or running.

Most of us are now living in an urban world that is full of solid concrete and hard tiled floors. This has made apartments easier to clean and last longer, but what does that mean for your feet and your child’s feet?

Taping has been used for a long time amongst athletes and physical therapists.

Ingrown Toenails occur when the edge of the toenail cuts into surrounding tissue, resulting in inflammation. It can also happen when the skin grows over the toenail bed.

Fungal toenails, medically known as onychomycosis, is a common condition that can affect both toenails and fingernails, but is more often seen in toenails.

At My FootDr podiatry centres, we use Extracorporeal Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT) every day on patients suffering from Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendinopathy, painful trigger points and other musculoskeletal disorders.

Ensure your feet are optimally supported by your orthotics!

Edema occurs when there is accumulation of excess fluid within tissue. Leg swelling caused by the retention of fluid in leg tissues is known as peripheral edema, or lower limb swelling. Gravity impacts the accumulated fluid and it pools in your legs and feet or arms and hands.

Diabetic foot ulcers are open sores or wounds that are usually located at the bottom of the foot and affect approximately 15 percent of diabetic patients. Diabetic foot ulcers are not often seen as a threat, their symptoms are usually dismissed as trivial. However, these symptoms can have severe consequences if ignored and left unmanageed.

Recovering from an injury can be a difficult and frustrating process. Rehab following an injury is extremely important to prevent long term or reoccurring problems. At My FootDr, we pride ourselves on helping our patients return to their favourite sports and start living life pain-free again.
