Podiatry is available at our Burleigh Heads, Gold Coast clinic. A podiatrist is a health professional who deals with the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of medical and surgical conditions of the feet and lower limbs. Podiatrists treat patients of all ages including children and the elderly.

The conditions podiatrists treat include those resulting from bone and joint disorders such as arthritis and soft-tissue and muscular pathologies as well as neurological and circulatory diseases.

Podiatrists are also able to diagnose and treat any complications of the above which affect the lower limb, including skin and nail disorders, corns, calluses and ingrown toenails. Foot injuries and infections gained through sport or other activities are also diagnosed and treated by podiatrists.

Aleks Baruksopulo is available at Burleigh Heads Physiotherapy Centre. For more information, see Burleigh Heads Podiatry.

Shockwave Therapy

Shock wave Therapy is now being used by our Podiatrist, Aleks to help treat various soft tissue injuries of the lower limb. It’s particularly useful for chronic Achilles Tendonopathy and Plantar Fasciitis. A shockwave is an intense, short energy wave that travels faster than the speed of sound and, when applied to areas of pain, it is thought to stimulate new blood vessels and nerve cells which promotes faster healing time.

This therapy is best used in conjunction with other therapies and is especially useful in those stubborn soft tissue conditions that are not responding to usual methods of treatment. It is not recommended as a sole treatment option and should be discussed more with your Physiotherapist or Podiatrist for possible contraindications before considering this as an viable option.
