Expert Podiatry with the Care you Deserve
Systemic and Neurovascular
Systemic and neurovascular conditions affect the feet and legs as part of affecting the whole body. At times, the effect on the feet is very significant as it affects your ability to walk – or makes it very painful when you do.
While we cannot ‘cure’ systemic or neurovascular conditions, we can help lessen the impact on the feet and legs – reducing pain, increasing comfort, providing helpful advice and working to improve your quality of life. At South Burnett Podiatry we are passionate about keeping you active and mobile, so you can keep doing the things you love.
Diabetes
Diabetes has a large impact on your feet. If you have diabetes, there is a serious risk for developing an infection and ulceration if care is not taken.
Gout
Gout can be excruciatingly painful during an ‘attack’ or ‘flare up’ of gout. It is a type of arthritis, and this can often be confused with the ‘wear and tear’ arthritis we often see - Osteoarthritis.
Peripheral Neuropathy
Damage to your peripheral nerves interrupts the important sensory information pathway between the limbs and the brain, resulting in changes to what you feel in your feet and hands.
Peripheral Vascular Disease
Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) is an arterial disease causing a reduced blood supply to parts of the body, which in this case are the feet and legs.
