Happy feet: Feet First Podiatry
We often take them for granted, but when pain or discomfort strikes, we are reminded why healthy feet make for a happy life. 
Foot problems can arise at any age. Crucial to a good outcome is expert diagnostic advice from a trusted podiatrist at the onset of symptoms.
Feet First Podiatry opened its new state-of-the-art clinic in November, and with sister company, The Shoe Room, situated next door, clients can now benefit from this seamless cohesion between the two.
The new clinic also brings new services – such as Shockwave Therapy, a non-invasive technique utilising sound waves to
accelerate the healing process in damaged tissue.
“Shockwave Therapy is very effective on chronic foot disorders, such as plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinopathy,” owner and senior podiatrist Charlotte Russell says.
Ingrown toenails management and treatment is another service provided here.
“Legislative changes are currently being reviewed nationally with regards to ingrown toenail surgery. We are following these closely and can offer pain-free, non-surgical solutions as an alternative,” Charlotte says.
Feet First Podiatry offers footcare for the whole family, from concerns around nails, corns, and callouses, to diabetes, arthritis, chronic heel pain and children’s developmental foot problems.
Appointments at Feet First Podiatry can now be booked online or by phoning the friendly team on 03 348 7910.
