When a patient’s foot or lower leg faces problems, a podiatric treatment comes in order. Sydney podiatrist treats the physical problems of the foot and lower leg, which includes setting fractures, writing prescriptions, physiotherapy, surgeries etc.

It depends on the severity of the problem. General podiatry treatment for calluses or fungal nail cure is not painful. However, toenails can be sensitive, but your podiatrist at Shannon Hurvitz Podiatric Clinic will do everything in their power to keep the treatment pain-free or reduce pain frequency.

Podiatry is considered an ancillary health service that might be covered by some private insurance companies. However, not all insurance companies cover the cost of podiatric treatment. You are suggested to review the policy of your insurance company before visiting a podiatrist.

Podiatrists are classified as doctors, although they carry a different set of qualifications than local or general practitioners. All podiatrists at Sydney Podiatry Clinic are certified and verified as registered podiatrists in Australia by the Australian Health Regulatory Agency.

The treatment tenure is not too long. However, it highly depends on the depth and severity of the injury or any other issue your foot have faced. Our practitioners and team try their best to treat you as soon as possible.
