A bunion is a bony bulge or bump on the outside of the base of the big toe joint.
When a bunion is present, the big toe will usually angle in toward the second toe and there is often bursitis at the base of the big toe.
Bunions are a common cause of pain in the big toe joint. Other symptoms of bunions include skin irritation, redness, and the formation of blisters around the site of the bunion.

An orthosis is a custom or ready made foot device designed to off load abnormal forces that can lead to damage of soft tissue structures, joints and bones. Orthoses work by altering abnormal loads around the joint axis, therefore reducing the stress on the tissue. Orthoses are built to meet your individual biomechanical and lifestyle needs. At Riverina Podiatry we can provide you with:
• ready-made, over-the-counter orthoses
• custom/prescription orthoses
• chronic pain treatment and management
• pain prevention
• comfort improvement
• performance improvement
• foot deformity development reduction

Diabetes can reduce the way nerves work and decrease blood flow to feet.
These abnormalities may result in decreased sensation and slower healing times and can lead to higher chances of infection and amputation.

As a complicated part of the body that contains bones, nerves, ligaments, muscles and blood vessels, feet need to be looked after from birth. Excessive pressures may cause problems for the growing foot, and children’s feet have a unique growing pattern that requires dedicated care.

To ensure ultimate foot health for your child, we provide children’s podiatry services and can help with growing pains that often occur in the lower limbs. Our podiatrists can advise on normal and abnormal structure, as well as implement treatment plans to help avoid long term deformity.

Our podiatrists can also discuss:
• nail pain and deformity
• bunion surgery options
• hammer toe corrections
• mallet toes
• arthritis
• paediatric/child foot complaints

For more complex problems, we can refer you to a registered specialist, podiatric foot and ankle surgeon.

The Richie Brace is a custom ankle foot orthosis (AFO) designed to treat complex and chronic conditions of the foot and ankle. Introduced to the medical community in 1996, the Richie Brace has revolutionised the non-operative approach to the most challenging pathologies treated by foot and ankle specialists.
With a contoured balanced orthotic footplate articulated to adjustable semi-rigid lower leg uprights, the Richie Brace is ideally suited to stabilise rotational forces at the midtarsal, subtalar and talocrural joints. Modifications and enhancements are available to add further restriction of motion in the sagittal, frontal or transverse plane.
The Richie Brace is fabricated from an impression cast taken of the patient’s foot and lower leg. Best of all, its lightweight, low-profile design is preferred by patients over traditional longer leg solid shell ankle foot orthoses.
Richie Brace AFOs are well suited to treating a number of conditions, including:
• Adult acquired flatfoot secondary to posterior tibial tendon dysfunction.
• Lateral ankle instability
• Degenerative joint disease of the ankle or rear foot.
• Peroneal tendinopathy.
• Drop foot.

Swift is a treatment using microwave energy which is delivered through a special probe applied to the skin to treat the affected tissue. It is not uncommon for patients to feel a sharp sensation, similar to an injection. Unlike most treatments for warts, pain felt during the treatment quickly subsides, and only in rare cases is there any prolonged pain. No anaesthetic or dressings are required post treatment.

Radial shockwaves are high-energy soundwaves transmitted from a probe held against and passing through the skin and spreading outwards into the underlying tissues. This is believed to induce increased blood flow and metabolic activity around the site of pain accelerating the healing process. At the very least it effectively reduces pain from this area.

Stop suffering the discomfort of unsightly nail fungus. Laser treatment is an easy and convenient procedure that helps turn your discoloured and disfigured nails into clearer, healthier looking nails.
