Bunion treatment

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 often thought to be due to poor-fitting footwear, however bunions have been found on people who have never worn footwear. 

Podiatrists understand and can explain what causes bunions, what make them painful and why they increase in size.

Bunions do not generally get better if left untreated. The condition usually only gets worse; bunions get bigger and big toe joint arthritis can develop.

Orthoses

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

  • what footwear is best for you
  • what to avoid
  • normal wear patterns
  • when to replace your footwear

Diabetes foot care

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.

Podiatrists are trained to assess, diagnose, provide patient education on foot care and treat all conditions which may occur in diabetic feet.  With our assistance and guidance infections, ulcerations, amputations and other painful conditions may be avoided.

Children's foot care

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.

  • nail pain and deformity
