FAQs
What does a podiatrist or chiropodist do?
A podiatrist, previously known as a chiropodist, is a healthcare professional who specialises in diagnosing, treating, and preventing problems related to the feet, ankles, and lower legs. They offer medical care for a variety of issues including:
- Foot pain: Plantar fasciitis, toe pain, heel pain, forefoot pain, sever’s disease and common arthritic foot pain issues
- Skin concerns: Calluses, athlete’s foot, corns and warts
Sports injuries: Heel pain, ankle sprains, stress fractures and achilles tendonitis - Nail problems: Ingrown toenails, fungal infections and thickened toenails
- Diabetic foot care: Management, prevention and education of diabetic foot complications
- Deformities: Bunions, hammertoes, flat feet and high arches
When should I see a podiatrist?
Minor foot pain can last up to a few days. This can potentially be managed through rest and self-care home remedies (RICE – rest, ice, compression, elevation). However, it is important to seek out the guidance of an experienced podiatrist if your lower limb pain is:
- Lasting longer than a few days
- Gets worse with activity
- Interferes or limits your ability to perform normal daily tasks
- Accompanied by redness, swelling, numbness or sores.
- It’s advisable to consult a podiatrist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Early intervention can prevent complications and promote faster healing.
How do I find a good podiatrist near me in Brisbane?
If you’re looking for optimal results from your podiatry care, it is always advised to find trusted senior podiatrists who have the experience to solve your foot health problems or pain from the start. Word of mouth is another way to get the best feedback about podiatrists near you, so check in with family and work colleagues who may be able to point you in the right direction of skilled senior podiatrists in your local area.
Can I claim a rebate for podiatry?
Yes, if you have private health, you can claim rebates at the time of your podiatry consult. Your private health insurance may cover podiatry services, and we advise checking your insurance policy or contacting your provider for details on podiatry rebates.
What are the signs that I should contact a podiatrist immediately?
Contact a podiatrist if you experience severe foot pain, notice any swelling or redness, have open sores or wounds that don’t heal, or if you have any changes in skin colour or temperature in your feet. These could be signs of infection or other serious issues.
