SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
Shockwave Therapy is an effective non-surgical treatment tool for many foot pain conditions such as Plantar Fasciitis, Heel Pain, Achilles Tendon Pain and Shin Splints. The shockwave handpiece sends high energy pulses to painful locations in the muscle, fascia and tendon.
An acoustic wave is emitted by the shockwave machine to directly target problem areas that are causing pain. The handpiece is applied gently to the treatment area using a gel medium and is graded to individual pain thresholds. This therapy has an analgesic effect which results in less pain immediately after receiving treatment.
Shockwave therapy helps to heal pain through:
- Blood vessel formation
- Reversal of chronic inflammation
- Dissolution of calcified tissue
- Release of trigger points

Custom Orthotics
Custom foot orthotics provide support and stability to ease pain. The orthotics are made uniquely suited to the individual. The orthotic design is based on pain, walking and running patterns, alignment, and identification of high pressure areas in each foot.
Pod Fit Podiatry are known across Adelaide for more flexible feel and slim orthotics. Traditionally orthotics have been made as thick and rigid devices. Our philosophy is that the foot and ankle can be supported well whilst having a healthy and normal range of motion at the same time. You’ll experience comfort and pain relief all in the one orthotic device.
Custom orthotics can help with:
- Heel pain and spurs (including plantar fasciitis)
- Flat feet (excessive foot pronation)
- Ball of foot pain
- Achilles Tendinopathy
- Sore shins (shin splints)
Plantar fasciitis TREATMENT
Plantar fasciitis pain is typically present when persisting heel pain is present first thing in the morning or after rest. Pain felt in the plantar fascia pain in an acute stage is due to inflammation, whereas long standing pain is associated with degenerative changes of the tendon.
The most effective treatment method for plantar fasciitis includes a combination approach style therapy. While the treatment plan differs between individuals and the unique cause of their pain, therapy can include shockwave treatment, strapping, custom orthotics and foot strengthening programs. The best research for long term pain relief supports hands on pain relief methods, coupled with progressive exercise strength programs.
Nail Procedures
Toenail procedures are a recommended approach for non-resolving ingrowing toenails. Procedures can also be recommended for thick toenails and fungal toenails, or ones with ongoing infections present.
Ingrowing toenails are a painful concern as the nail digs in and causes local infection. Using gentle hands on treatment or by numbing the area, the nail is able to be comfortably removed in the clinic. Long standing ingrown nails quickly respond to this method.
Thick and fungal toenails may also require removal when they are becoming problematic with pain and shoe fittings. Your Podiatrist will assess either the suitability of conservative management or performing a nail procedure for you.
