Podiatry

We provide assessment, treatment and support for people to regain, maintain or improve the health of their feet and lower limbs.

About us

Podiatrists focus on helping people maintain good foot health which is crucial to overall health and wellbeing. The Podiatry department at Barwon Health provides many types of services ranging from high-risk medical and surgical foot treatment and management to rehabilitation support and injury prevention.

The Podiatrist’s role is to improve mobility, enhance physical independence, manage painful foot conditions, and prevent and treat injury and disability resulting from diseases such as diabetes and complications that may arise.
