Your podiatry questions answered
A podiatrist is a healthcare professional who aims to diagnose, address, and manage conditions affecting the feet, ankles, and lower limbs. With their understanding of the human body, they may offer diabetic foot care, address paediatric foot problems, and create personalised treatment plans designed to help people achieve their foot-related goals.
They may also work to help prevent injuries and support rehabilitation.
Yes, if you have a chronic condition and are part of a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan organised by your GP, you may be eligible for Medicare rebates on podiatry services.
Yes, many private health funds cover podiatry services under extras or ancillary cover. It’s best to check with your health fund to see what’s included in your policy.
The frequency of podiatry visits depends on your specific condition. For general foot care, an annual check-up is recommended. However, people with diabetes or ongoing foot issues may need more regular visits.
If it’s your first visit, bring any relevant medical history, a list of current medications, and any previous x-rays or scans related to your foot condition. If you have orthotics or custom footwear, bring those along as well.
During a consultation, an experienced podiatrist will assess your condition through a physical examination. They may also recommend diagnostic tests like X-rays or biomechanical assessments. Using a holistic approach, they will develop a treatment plan based on your individual needs.
Yes, podiatrists may perform minor surgeries, such as ingrown toenail removal and wart treatment. For more complex foot surgeries, a referral to a podiatric surgeon may be necessary.
Podiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat sports injuries related to the feet and lower limbs, including stress fractures, Achilles tendonitis, and ankle sprains.
Consultation fees vary depending on the services provided. Some costs may be covered by Medicare or private health insurance, so it’s best to check with our clinic for pricing details.
