Frequently asked questions

Why should I see a sports podiatrist?
Seeing a sports podiatrist can benefit anyone who participates in physical activity, especially those with foot and ankle concerns. Sports podiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of injuries such as plantar fasciitis, stress fractures and ankle sprains, and can provide personalised treatment plus guidance on proper footwear and orthotics to keep you active and pain free.
How can I avoid injuries when running?
Make sure you have proper footwear that supports your feet, gradually increase your mileage rather than pushing too hard too quickly, and incorporate strength training that targets your legs and feet. Listen to your body and take rest days when needed, and see a sports podiatrist if you experience pain or discomfort.
What happens if a sports injury is left untreated?
If sports injuries are left untreated they can worsen and potentially lead to chronic pain or long term damage. Ignoring pain can also cause compensatory movements or overuse of other body parts, leading to further injuries, so it is important to seek attention if you experience pain during physical activity.
What conditions does sports podiatry treat?
We commonly treat plantar fasciitis and heel pain, Achilles tendinopathy, stress fractures, ankle sprains, shin splints, and Sever's disease in younger athletes, among other sports-related foot and ankle injuries.
Do I need to be a competitive athlete to see a sports podiatrist?
Not at all. Sports podiatry is suited to anyone who's active and dealing with foot or ankle concerns, whether that's running, gym training, team sport, or simply staying on your feet for work or daily life.
What treatment approaches are used?
Depending on the injury, treatment may include manual therapy, shockwave therapy, dry needling, orthotic or insole therapy, footwear assessment and prescription, strapping, and a structured exercise or loading program.
How quickly can I get custom orthotics if I need them?
JS Podiatry has in-house 3D orthotic printing, meaning custom orthotics can often be ready in as little as two days rather than the longer wait times typical of outsourced labs.
Do I need a referral to book a sports podiatry appointment?
No referral is needed for a private appointment. A GP referral is only required if you're accessing care through a Medicare Chronic Disease Management Plan.
