Quest Podiatry

  What is a 3D Gait Analysis? 3D gait analysis is the examination of your foot and lower limbs and how they all function together. The foot is a complicated structure comprised of 28 bones, over 200 ligaments and 38 muscles, so its no surprise it might need a little bit of maintenance from time to time.  3D  gait analysis  uses specially designed cameras to measure the sensors that would be attached to your leg at the time of examination. We will use this information to create an accurate 3D model of your pelvis, hip, knee, ankle and foot and calculate precisely how well they are functioning with one another. In doing so, we use the same technology that is used in orthopaedic hospitals, research institutions and even some film studios!  By undertaking a 3D gait analysis, you are allowing your  podiatrist  to accurately assess your lower limbs and look for any abnormalities or asymmetries in your walking or running gait. Upon completing the examination,...

Ingrowing toenails are one of the most common problems we treat at Quest Podiatry. They occur when a piece of nail pierces the flesh of the toe and can be extremely painful. In more severe cases, they can become inflamed or infected. Our podiatrists  are skilled and experienced in assessing and treating ingrowing toenails. What is an ingrown toenail? Ingrown toenails typically occur when the edges or the corners of your nails grow out in the wrong direction and pierce the skin or soft flesh next to the nail. This is most likely to happen on your big toe and could occur for a number of reasons. Ingrown toenails can sometimes be treated at home; however, this is likely to lead to infection, among other problems if treated incorrectly and could end up requiring much more medical attention. The risk of complications is much higher if you already suffer from existing health issues that can cause problems with your feet, low blood pressure or poor circulation, such as diabetes. What are ...

There are many reasons to see a podiatrist, especially if you are suffering from foot or lower limb pain. Podiatrists specialise in any conditions involving the feet, toes, or ankles. Below are some of the top reasons people visit a podiatrist: You suspect you have a sprain, strain, or broken bone Firstly, if you believe you have broken a bone, please seek immediate medical advice. A strain or sprain could be an injury or from over-exertion. Any pain, redness or swelling could indicate damage, which should be addressed as soon as possible. Ignoring an injury will only make it worse! Your heels are cracked, dry or bleeding In more recent times, there are many foot creams available on the market; however, these products only offer a temporary solution.
