How we help our podiatry clients in Annandale with Telehealth appointments

Our Annandale podiatrists take a four-step approach to diagnosing and treating lower-limb and foot injuries.

Listen

We allocate an hour for an initial telehealth podiatry appointment to make sure we have the time to listen. We want to get to know you and how your injury affects your sport, work, or daily life.

We ask probing questions to understand the cause or contributing factors leading to your injury.

We look at your lower limbs and feet and provide visual assessments using technology from our Sydney Clinic to Annandale.

Diagnose

Using the information that we gather from our Annandale clients, we can assess your injury and, in most cases, provide an accurate diagnosis from the initial telehealth appointment.

In cases that we need further diagnostic investigation, we can email imaging referrals to be used at an imaging practice in Annandale.

We may ask you to perform provocation tests and use the camera to understand pain location.

We can provide guidance on what is happening and why the injury may have occurred. From there, our Annandale clients can understand what needs to be done to prevent and mitigate future injuries.

Treatment

While we can't provide physical treatments over telehealth, we can still offer comprehensive treatment plans to get you back doing what you want pain free.

We can provide practical and actionable advice using feedback from our Annandale clients, and offer follow-up telehealth consultations to monitor progress and guide treatment.

Our podiatrists are shoe geeks and can tell you precisely what shoes to wear and which ones to avoid, helping you recover faster.

Exercise prescription and rehab plans are easily and effectively delivered via telehealth.

Our Annandale podiatrists can send you semi-custom or medical grade prefabricated orthotics to help with pain or improve function based on your specific injury, type and size of shoes they are to be used with, and visual foot assessment.

In cases where a custom foot orthotic may be helpful, we are able to refer you to a trusted Podiatrist in Annandale. With your consent, we can email your telehealth clinical notes and assessment findings to a Podiatrist in Annandale that can take the required foot impressions and measurements to make a custom orthotic.

We follow up on podiatry appointments in Annandale to assess treatment and progress.

Educate

Our goal is to get our Annandale clients running, walking, and moving pain-free, which means providing education relevant to your situation.

Our local Annandale podiatry team help you to understand better what your condition is, why you developed it and outlay all the possible treatment options, costs and potential benefits or risks.

We will refer you to a trusted local physio, podiatrist, sports doctor, strength and conditioning coach or chiropractor for further in-person treatment where required.
