A Little Bit About Podiatry

When speaking about podiatry, we’re referring to footcare – a podiatrist is an expert in foot care, and helps people address the needs of their lower limbs, including the foot, ankle and may also be involved in supporting older people to reduce their risk of falling. So basically, a foot doctor. Additionally, they can help to prevent, diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Ingrown toenails
  • Heel and arch pain
  • Skin problems
  • Balance issues
  • Sprains

Podiatrists, sometimes known as a foot specialist, mainly work in private practices. However, they also work in a range of health settings, including hospitals, aged care, sports clinics and research and policy organisations. Additionally, there are ankle specialists in Melbourne available to answer all important podiatry-related questions.

Who Can Benefit From Orthotics?

Orthotics are a specially-designed shoe (no, not a pair of shoes that allows you to click your heels and send you back to Kansas), but heel inserts that a podiatrist prescribes specifically for the individual.

A podiatrist may prescribe orthotics to treat foot, leg or back problems. Orthotics can be part of a treatment plan to address a range of systems, usually relating to pain and discomfort of the feet and legs. Although many seniors will be prescribed orthotics, they can benefit people of all ages and various reasons.

Other reasons that someone may be prescribed orthotics include:  

  • Correcting foot deformities  
  • Helping the foot or ankle function better  
  • Providing support to the ankle  
  • Reducing the risks for further injuries
  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Bunions
  • Knee pain
  • Flat feet
  • High arches
  • Bursitis
  • Neuroma
  • Achilles tendinopathy

Some Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions about podiatry and orthotics are:

  • What are orthotics?
    It’s a medical specialty that focuses on the design and application of orthosis, an externally applied device used to influence the structural and functional characteristics of the neuromuscular and skeletal system.
  • Will orthotics correct my foot problem?
    Orthotics will control the position and motion of your foot. This may prevent the development of pain and disability and the development of additional deformity. However, orthotics will not change the underlying structure of the adult foot.
  • Are the orthotics comfortable? 
    Most people find orthotics quite comfortable at first, however some might take a couple of weeks to get use too, as it’s essentially there to retrain affected muscles.
  • Can they fit into most shoes? 
    Often custom-made orthotics can be transferred between similar types of shoes.
  • How long does it take to recover from an ingrown toenail surgery/does it hurt?
    You will be walking out that day. It’s recommended on the day of procedure you keep your feet elevated. Patients can return to regular activities the next day. The toenail surgery is painless due to the anesthetic; pain levels will significantly reduce when the anesthetic wears off.
  • Are special orthotics required for sports? 
    Standard orthotics are fine for most activities, including sports that do not impact the feet excessively. However, sports such as running, basketball, high impact, aerobics, tennis, racquet sports, and baseball involve considerable ground impact and require sports orthotics.
  • Do I need a referral to see a podiatrist?
    You do not need a referral to see a podiatrist. However, if you do have a referral, it’s recommended to bring it to your appointment.
  • Will it hurt? 
    Routine care of nails and calluses is not painful. However, some conditions, such as ingrown toenails, may be sensitive to treatment. Podiatrists do their best to minimise pain and can also offer local anaesthetic injections when indicated.
  • How often do I need to visit a podiatrist?
    This depends on the nature of the condition that is being treated. The treatment and rehabilitation of conditions will vary widely; however, after an initial consultation, the podiatrist will be able to provide a recovery framework.

Whether it be a podiatrist or foot specialist in Melbourne, the team at Jakupi Podiatry will be able to answer these frequently asked questions.
