WHAT IS A PODIATRIST?
Podiatrists are highly qualified, tertiary-educated health clinicians who are trained to assess, treat and manage most lower limb diseases, disorders, pain conditions and injuries.
Our podiatrists use the latest technology, evidence-based treatments and management to assess, diagnose and treat a variety of health conditions that affect the lower leg. Visits to our podiatrists at our Newstead location will help reduce pain, improve function and manage your health conditions to keep you moving. Podiatrists are able to refer you for varying diagnostic or investigative imaging such as x-rays, ultrasound and MRI scans.
