CBR Podiatry provides thorough and tailored assessments and treatments for a wide range of foot, ankle, and lower leg conditions, incorporating the latest findings from research. Our principal podiatrist is committed to patient-centred, customised foot care, offering precise diagnoses and complete care at our local clinic. Whether you’re dealing with biomechanical issues, chronic ankle conditions, or sudden pain from an ingrown toenail, CBR Podiatry focuses on addressing the cause, not merely the symptoms.
A one-size-fits-all method isn’t suitable for the diverse conditions, concerns, and injuries we manage every day in our clinic. Whether your needs are complex, you have sporting ambitions, or simply need skin or footwear guidance, we will design a personalised plan to match your individual needs and objectives. By focusing on the root factors, symptoms, and conditions, we work towards a variety of outcomes, like relieving ankle pain, restoring foot function after injuries, treating nail conditions, and improving the overall health of your feet.
CBR Podiatry provides professional and tailored assessment and treatment of foot, ankle and lower leg conditions by a leading Canberra podiatrist. Whether you have long-standing heel pain that requires resolving or acute pain caused by an ingrown toenail, we’re here to treat the cause, not just the symptoms.
We believe in patient-centred podiatry care customised to your individual needs. Our personalised treatment plans assist with reducing pain and discomfort, aiding mobility and improving overall foot health.
At our inner North Canberra foot care clinic, located at the O’Connor shops, we assess, diagnose and treat an extensive range of podiatry conditions utilising the latest research.
We welcome new patients from all over Canberra, including Belconnen, Dickson, Canberra City (Civic) and surrounds. We’re also well-positioned if you’re visiting us from regional areas such as Murrumbateman and Yass.
Common Conditions CBR Podiatry Treats
Enhancing and preserving the health and function of your feet and lower limbs can lead to substantial benefits for your overall body and well-being, with podiatry playing a crucial part.
Our podiatrist will assess, diagnose and treat a comprehensive range of foot, ankle and lower leg conditions. CBR Podiatry’s goal is to improve your lower limb mobility, comfort, and overall functionality and our scope ranges from childhood development to sporting injuries to chronic health conditions.
Some conditions we regularly treat include:
Heel pain is a frequent and often disabling condition, caused by various factors, that can significantly affect your everyday life. Our principal podiatrist has extensive experience in diagnosing and treating its root causes.
Experiencing heel pain? It might be caused by plantar fasciitis, also known as plantar fasciopathy, which damages the thick tissue connecting the heel to the toes. This can result from overuse or injury. We offer personalised treatment options for this common condition.
Bunions are bony bumps that form at the base of the big toe joint, often causing discomfort and making it difficult to wear shoes. They can result in issues like limited movement and skin irritation. In some cases, arthritis can form in the joint, leading to additional complications. We offer treatment to manage pain and inflammation, along with footwear guidance.
Characterised by pain and irritation of the Achilles tendon, this condition commonly occurs due to factors such as overuse, repetitive stress, and sudden increases in physical activity. We offer a customised treatment plan for this painful problem and support you through rehabilitation.
An ingrown toenail can be a painful condition. The side or edge of the nail, usually on the big toe, begins to grow into the skin. This can lead to pain, swelling, difficulties wearing shoes, and potentially infection. We will assess your condition and recommend the best treatment plan, such as nail trimming to minor surgery. This is performed by our experienced podiatrist at our local clinic.
Orthotics can transform the way you move, enhance your body’s alignment, and boost your comfort and functionality. We supply a broad selection of orthotics to suit your specific needs and lifestyle, including custom-moulded, heat-moulded, and prefabricated options. We even provide orthotics for high heels and fashion shoes.
Shin Splints
Shin splints, a general term linked to pain and inflammation along the shinbone, can be a painful condition that affects your daily activities. We provide biomechanical assessments to evaluate your movements and mobility, allowing us to create a tailored plan for improvement and prevention.
Flat Feet
Flat feet are caused by excessive foot pronation or hypermobility, rather than low arches, which is a common misconception. This may lead to discomfort, instability, or injuries, and can affect other areas around the body due to misalignment. We will examine how your feet and legs move through biomechanical assessments and develop a plan to support your feet.
Posture or Alignment Issues
If joints or muscles in the lower limbs are not aligned properly, your whole body can be affected. We provide a thorough biomechanics assessment to address your specific posture and alignment concerns and your overall musculoskeletal health. We will develop a focused plan to target your unique requirements.
Do skin and nail issues cause you discomfort or embarrassment? We offer diagnosis and treatment for conditions like corns, cracked heels, fungal infections, hard skin, and athlete’s foot, along with general skin and nail care to help maintain your foot health.
There are numerous treatments available for verrucae, also known as warts or plantar warts. At CBR Podiatry, we evaluate your foot health and identify the type of wart before selecting a suitable treatment.
We offer podiatric assessment, diagnosis, and treatment for children aged 5 and above. From toe walking and leg pain to injuries, we address many childhood foot concerns. Our principal podiatrist, Nick, is a member of Australian Paediatric Podiatry and is ready to help your family.
If you have diabetes, regular foot health monitoring by a skilled professional is essential. During a diabetes review, we will address your concerns, goals, and current management strategies, followed by thorough assessments. A report will be sent to your GP, and our podiatrist will provide guidance on how to care for your feet to reduce the risk of serious complications.
A heel spur is a bony growth on the heel bone that can lead to pain and discomfort, especially during activities like walking or running. We provide biomechanical assessment appointments to assess the severity of your condition and develop a personalised treatment strategy.
Video gait analysis offers a scientific way to observe your walking or running patterns, giving us insights into how your movements affect different areas of your body and your overall functionality and health. This tool can be key in identifying the cause of pain or injury and improving performance. At CBR Podiatry, we incorporate gait analysis into our biomechanical assessments, where we pinpoint limitations and weaknesses to design a personalised management plan.
CBR Podiatry is honoured to provide podiatry and foot care services to NDIS participants, whether self-managed or plan-managed. We offer an initial consultation and assessment, create a podiatry care plan tailored to your healthcare objectives, and conduct regular reassessments throughout your care plan.
