General Podiatric Care

Conditions We Treat

At Moss Vale Podiatry, we provide comprehensive foot assessments and treatments for a wide range of foot and ankle concerns. Our aim is to not only treat existing problems but help prevent future issues through proactive care and patient education. Whether you’re dealing with pain, discomfort, or preventative care needs, our team is here to help you maintain optimal foot health.

Biomechanical and Structural Pathologies

These conditions often relate to the alignment, function, or structure of the foot and lower limb, and may cause pain, reduced mobility, or secondary issues in the knees, hips, or back. Common conditions include,

  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Flat feet
  • Metatarsalgia
  • Heel spurs
  • Bunions (hallux valgus)
  • Hammer toes
  • Leg length discrepancies
  • Overpronation / supination
  • Walking abnormalities

We offer thorough biomechanical assessments and can prescribe orthotics, footwear advice, or exercise therapy tailored to your needs.

Dermatological and Nail Conditions

Foot skin and nail issues can cause discomfort, infections, or cosmetic concerns and are often linked to moisture, footwear, or fungal exposure. Common conditions we see and treat include,

  • Corns and calluses
  • Plantar warts
  • Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis)
  • Fungal nail infections (onychomycosis)
  • Thickened or discoloured toenails
  • Dry or cracked heels
  • Ingrown toenails
  • Nail trauma or deformity

We provide both treatment and preventative care, including debridement, antifungal therapy, and patient education.

Diabetic Foot Care

People with diabetes require regular podiatric care to prevent complications such as ulcers, infections, and amputations due to reduced sensation or circulation. We offer checks for,

  • Diabetic foot checks
  • Peripheral neuropathy
  • Foot ulcers
  • Skin integrity concerns
  • Nail and skin management

We provide comprehensive diabetic foot assessments, education, wound care, and early intervention to protect your foot health.

General Foot Pain and Discomfort

Sometimes foot pain doesn’t fall neatly into one category but still affects daily life. We assess and treat:

  • Arch pain
  • Ball-of-foot pain
  • Heel pain
  • Generalised discomfort during walking or standing

We identify the underlying cause and tailor a management plan to relieve symptoms and improve function.
