## General Podiatry

Toenails, corns and callouses are all things we see each day at Maypod. Thickened or fungal nails, ingrowing toenails are all things we are well equipped to assess, treat and prevent. We often hear the words “I feel like I am floating on air” as our patients leave the clinic- and that’s exactly how you should feel after a general treatment.

## Minor nail surgery

In some cases, certain toenail problems can become recurrent; or unable to be managed conservatively. In these cases, partial or total nail avulsion may be required. This involves removing some or all of the affected nail under local anaesthesia, and depending on the situation using a substance to prevent the nail from growing back. At Maypod we are able to safely guide you through this process if needed.

## Sports and Biomechanical Issues

The feet are an important part of the function of the lower limb. Therefore, if we have an
issue relating to the feet, it can have an effect on the entire body. We are able to diagnose
and treat a variety of lower limb pathologies.
Issues included, but not limited to:

- Plantar fasciitis (Plantar heel pain)
- Achilles tendinopathy and other lower leg tendon issues
- Stress fractures
- Morton’s neuroma
- Sesamoiditis
- Bunions
- Ankle sprains

## Footwear Advice

By far the most common risk factor we see relating to foot trouble is inadequate or
inappropriate footwear. Footwear is often something people don’t realise may be relating to their symptoms or pain. Podiatrists are excellent at providing advice for choosing the right type of shoe for your feet!

## Paediatric Podiatry

Kids often have different foot and leg problems to adults. We can undertake thorough assessment of Children’s foot and lower leg problems.

## Orthoses

Orthotics can be a very useful tool in helping to treat certain foot problems. Maypod uses different types of orthoses depending on the individual’s specific problem and lower limb function. Orthoses may not be needed in all circumstances where other conservative treatment can be used. However, we can certainly ensure you get the right orthotic for your foot.
