There are a wide range of reasons to see a podiatrist but some typical foot conditions include heel pain, bunions, ingrown toenails, tinea, corns and calluses.  Some typical examples of why someone might see a podiatrist are:

• Patient with diabetes and peripheral vascular disease, or neuropathy
• Clinical diagnosis or history of foot or lower limb deformity
• Clinical diagnosis of falls
• Arthritis
• Soft tissue and muscular pathologies
• Circulatory diseases.

Podiatrists provide a wide range of services from the treatment of calluses to the treatment of bone and joint disorders. For conditions such as recurring sprains and chronic pain, podiatrists may prescribe foot orthoses.

The podiatrist’s scope of practice includes areas such as paediatrics, diabetes, sports injuries, structural problems, treatment of the elderly as well as general foot care.

Podiatrists with additional qualifications and registration may also perform foot surgery.

A referral from a GP is only required if you carry a Department of Veterans Affairs card, or are on a Medicare Care Plan or EPC Plan.
