Podiatry Services Available at Blacktown

Personalised Foot Care

Skin and nail care, done gently. We manage corns and calluses, cracked heels, fungal nails, and ingrown toenails and share easy routines to prevent flare‑ups. (No pressure to “do it all” at once.)

Orthotics & Insoles

When assessment shows they’ll help, we prescribe custom or prefabricated orthoses to redistribute pressure and support comfort. We pair them with footwear advice and simple exercises.

Injury Rehabilitation

For heel/arch pain, Achilles irritation, shin splints and ankle sprains, we use load management, exercise programs, taping and gait retraining to support recovery and daily movement.

Diabetic Foot Health

Regular checks of sensation, circulation and skin. Practical offloading and prevention, plus education you can follow at home. We coordinate with your GP when needed.
