Kingsway Podiatry
Podiatrists treat a multitude of foot conditions, some which can present with symptoms in other parts of the body. For example, foot and lower limb malalignment can produce pain
in your back, hips, legs or knees. As university trained health professionals, podiatrists can establish if your feet are part of the problem or if further investigation is required.
The Australian Podiatry Council has also compiled a foot health checklist to assist those unsure of whether they should consult a podiatrist.
