Podiatry

Keeping you on your feet

What does a Podiatrist do?

It’s easy to underestimate the importance of keeping your feet healthy, but if you’ve ever experienced problems with your feet, ankles, or lower legs, you’ll know, foot conditions have a big effect on your overall health and well-being.

Podiatrists are lower limb experts. They help prevent, assess, diagnose, and treat problems with your feet, ankles, and lower legs.

AAH Group podiatrists provide a range of podiatric services to keep you on your feet by keeping your feet, ankles, and lower legs healthy.

We help people of all ages and abilities to be as mobile, and independent as possible.

We understand that if you’re experiencing lower limb troubles, it might be hard for you to get around so we can work with you either in our clinic or in your home.

NDIS Podiatry

At AAH Group, our podiatrists are registered NDIS providers.

Podiatric care is particularly important if you have a disability. We’re committed to providing high-quality, individualised, goal-focused care to clients living with a disability. We collaborate with your healthcare team to support your mobility, reduce pain and keep your feet healthy.

As registered NDIS service providers we can provide the following services to NDIS clients:

  • Custom prosthetics– ankle and foot orthotics, custom footwear, and ankle braces help improve walking by supporting weak muscles, keeping the joints in your foot and ankle correctly aligned, accommodating deformities, and reducing spasticity. 
  • Therapeutic support– you may need podiatry care so that you can perform your normal daily tasks. We can help you by:
    • Providing general foot and nail care
    • Treating skin conditions (i.e., corns or athletes’ foot)
    • Diabetic foot assessments and care
    • Treatment of ingrown toenails
    • Managing deformities
    • Providing wound care
