At Bondi Podiatry, we understand that foot and ankle conditions can be debilitating and prevent you from enjoying the activities you love. Whether you're dealing with plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, or another condition, we can help to alleviate your pain and improve your overall foot and ankle health.

One of the most common foot and ankle conditions we treat is plantar fasciitis. This condition causes pain in the heel and bottom of the foot, often as a result of overuse or injury. Plantar fasciitis occurs when the band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes (plantar fascia) becomes irritated and inflamed. This can lead to sharp pain in the heel, especially when taking the first steps in the morning or after sitting for long periods of time. The condition is more common in people who are overweight, have high arches or flat feet, or have a job that requires a lot of standing or walking on hard surfaces.

Another common condition we treat is Achilles tendinitis. The Achilles tendon connects the calf muscles to the heel bone and is the largest tendon in the body. It's commonly used when walking, running, jumping, and climbing stairs. Achilles tendinitis occurs when the tendon becomes inflamed, usually as a result of overuse, injury, or degeneration. It can cause pain and stiffness in the heel and ankle, especially when taking the first steps in the morning or after sitting for long periods of time.

At Bondi Podiatry, we can provide a variety of treatments to alleviate the pain caused by Achilles tendinitis, including:

• Custom orthotics: Orthotics can help to redistribute pressure on the foot and alleviate pain caused by Achilles tendinitis. They can also improve overall foot function by reducing overpronation (when the foot rolls inward too much) and improve shock absorption.

• Stretching exercises: Stretching the Achilles tendon can help to alleviate pain and improve flexibility. We can provide you with a personalized stretching program to help you achieve the best results.

• Physical therapy: Physical therapy can help to improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion in the foot and ankle, which can help to alleviate pain and improve overall foot and ankle health.

• Rest and Ice: Resting the affected area and applying ice can help to reduce inflammation and pain.

We also treat a variety of other foot and ankle conditions, such as heel spurs, ankle sprains, and flat feet. Our goal is to provide the highest quality care to help alleviate your pain and improve your overall foot and ankle health.
