Diabetes can affect the feet in many ways, the most common being neurological and circulatory changes. The feet have some of the most distal blood vessels and nerve endings in the body, therefore, any changes can appear in the foot early on. For this reason, diabetics are encouraged to see a Podiatrist for a diabetic foot assessment.
An ingrown nail occurs when a spike or rough edge of a toenail has pierced the skin adjacent to the nail edge. Initially, there is a little discomfort but as the nail grows, it can dig further and further in becoming more painful, inflamed and susceptible to infection. The most common cause is faulty nail cutting, pressure from ill-fitting shoes, and/or trauma from activities (such as ball sports and running).

Took my step son here because I was referred by my GP. The podiatrist could not help his heel pain.
Instead we found Dr. Matthew Hotchkis at the Canberra Heal Pain Institute in Braddon and was offered a plethora of treatment options that fixed his pain. Dr. Hotchkis was very professional and in my opinion is the best podiatrist in Canberra.

I have been seeing Michelle through Canberra Podiatry for several years now and she has been nothing but beautiful and sensitive about my musculoskeletal health problems along with my feet problems. I wouldnt hesitate in advising anyone to attend this clinic and see any of the staff at this practice. The reception staff are also very friendly and know the business and how to assist with enquiries. Thank you Michelle and all the staff.
