At your first appointment, your podiatrist will discuss your symptoms, health history, and daily routines to understand what may be causing your foot or lower limb concerns. They’ll assess your feet, gait, and footwear, then explain their findings and recommend a personalised treatment plan to relieve discomfort and restore healthy movement.
If you’re experiencing foot pain, knowing whether to see a podiatrist or physiotherapist can be confusing. Podiatrists are foot doctors who specialise in diagnosing and treating foot, ankle, and lower limb conditions—including skin, nail, and gait-related issues. Physiotherapists focus more broadly on muscles and movement throughout the entire body. If the pain is coming from your feet, ankles, or the way you walk, a podiatrist is your best starting point.
Yes. Podiatrists are highly trained in managing foot and ankle injuries, chronic foot pain, and repetitive strain conditions. Whether you’re dealing with plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, or ongoing joint pain, your podiatrist can provide hands-on care, orthotics, exercise plans, and footwear advice to support recovery and prevent further issues.
Podiatrists treat a wide range of foot and lower limb concerns, including:
Heel and arch pain (like plantar fasciitis)
Ingrown toenails and nail disorders
Bunions and toe deformities
Corns, calluses, and cracked heels
Fungal skin and nail infections
Flat feet and gait problems
Diabetic foot complications
Sports-related foot and ankle injuries
The frequency of podiatry visits depends on your condition. For chronic foot pain, injury recovery, or ongoing issues like diabetes, regular check-ups every 4–8 weeks may be recommended. For general foot care or orthotics, every 3–6 months is often sufficient. Your podiatrist will create a plan that supports your long-term foot health.
