COMMON PODIATRIC CONDITIONS

Podiatric clients include children of all ages, sports people and elite athletes through to members of the general community.

Typical podiatric problems may be related to improper development, occupation, sport & recreation. Or come about due to an underlying mechanical fault of that person’s leg or foot structure. Most often, a combination of all these factors results in podiatric injuries.

Some of the most common problems and injuries treated by podiatrists include

Heel pain and spurs (sever’s disease and plantar fasciitis)
Knock knees
Pigeon toed gait
Bowed legs
Limping and abnormal walking patterns
Growing pains
Aching feet

What can a chiropractor do for asthma?

Many people think of chiropractic as exclusively dealing with the spine. But I'm interested in the spine because it covers the nervous system. Problems in the spine can produce problems in the organs and tissues controlled by the affected nerves—including those to the lungs and bronchial tubes. Find out how chiropractic care has helped those with asthma.

Are chiropractors just concerned with the spine?

Our interest in the spine is because it covers the major communications conduit between your brain and your body. As a Sydney chiropractor my job is to locate areas (usually along the spine) that interfere with proper nerve communications to and from your brain. Chiropractic adjustments help restore nervous system integrity. In this way, chiropractic care can affect the function of your entire body.
