Podiatrists at Union Hospital have extensive experience and are internationally recognized. They assess, diagnose, and treat conditions of the feet and lower limbs, fully assisting each client in achieving healthy feet and preventing foot problems.
Basic Podiatry care
Diabetic Foot care
After testing for neurological (nerve) and vascular (blood vessel) complications, podiatrists will devise an individualized care plan tailored to your needs. If you have diabetic foot problems such as numbness in the feet, poor circulation, or foot deformities, the podiatrist will provide you with specialized treatment, preventative foot care, and footwear advice.
Biomechanical foot problems
Podiatrists provide examination of the foot and lower leg for common biomechanical limb problems such as flat feet, bunions (hallux valgus deformity) and toe deformities, highly arched feet, heel pain and plantar fasciitis. Podiatrists can provide tailor-made splints, toe protectors, insoles and casted orthotics to accommodate and correct foot and leg deformities to alleviate symptoms.
Special Foot care for ‘High Risk’ people
Various medical conditions can put the feet and lower legs at risk for serious complications like non-healing wounds, gangrene, or limb amputation. Individuals with peripheral arterial disease, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, SLE, renal disease, or gout need to take special care of their feet. Our podiatrist can create a tailored care plan to meet your needs.
Surgical Care
Podiatrists specialize in managing ingrown toenails and chronic toenail pain, which may sometimes require surgery to remove part or all of the toenail for pain relief. They assess your suitability for surgical treatment and can perform minor procedures under local anesthesia.
