Common Foot Conditions Treated by Our Team
Bunions (Hallux Valgus)
Bunions appear as a bony bump at the base of the big toe where the joint becomes misaligned. They can cause pain, swelling and redness around the joint, and may make wearing certain shoes uncomfortable or lead to increasing pressure on the front of the foot.
Sever’s Disease (Heel Pain in Children)
Sever’s disease commonly affects active children and teenagers during growth spurts, causing pain and tenderness at the back or underside of the heel. Symptoms often worsen during running or sport and may cause limping or discomfort after activity.
Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
Tarsal tunnel syndrome occurs when a nerve on the inside of the ankle becomes compressed, leading to burning pain, tingling or numbness in the heel, arch or sole of the foot. Symptoms may increase with prolonged standing, walking or exercise.
Why Clients Choose Us
Patients visit Innovation Podiatry for conditions such as bunions and tarsal tunnel syndrome because the clinic focuses on identifying the underlying biomechanical causes of foot pain rather than simply managing symptoms. Located within the Kawana Surgical and Specialist Centre in Birtinya, the experienced podiatrists provide detailed assessments of foot structure, gait and nerve-related symptoms to develop personalised treatment plans. For bunions, treatment may include footwear advice, pressure relief strategies and custom orthotics designed to improve foot alignment and reduce joint stress. For conditions such as tarsal tunnel syndrome, careful assessment and targeted treatments can help relieve nerve irritation and improve foot function. By combining modern diagnostic methods, evidence-based treatments and a patient-focused approach, Innovation Podiatry helps Sunshine Coast patients reduce pain, improve mobility and maintain long-term foot health.
