Brisbane Podiatrists Who Specialize In Treating Foot Problems That Have Been Mistreated.

Most podiatry patients don’t know exactly what is wrong with their feet so don’t know good advice from bad. The only true measure is the long term outcome.

Some of the most aggressive clinics boasting the most outlets around Brisbane believe everyone who walks in the door could get some slight benefit from orthotics so aim to persuade as many people as they can into acquiring them. On top of that they convince them to purchase expensive shoes to fit the orthotics in. Aside from the unnecessary outlay, poor outcomes generally result because the underlying cause of the issue is not adequately addressed. Another concern often not effectively managed is orthotics tend to also alter the positioning of the hips and spine. These changes potentially result in replacing the foot pain with back pain.

The latest research does not support this blanket approach to the use of orthotics and neither do the Podiatrists at Tyack Health. While there are foot conditions that do benefit enormously from orthotics it is the minority that actually need them.

At Tyack Health our motto is “orthotics a last resort”. With proper functional assessment and a blend of exercise based interventions, simple shoe wedges (that only cost a few dollars) and some sound advice about appropriate shoes (Please note: we don’t sell shoes so don’t have a vested interest in recommending the right ones) many seemingly complex foot issues can be resolved inexpensively with excellent long term outcomes.

If you’ve never seen a podiatrist but need to, currently seeing a podiatrist and not excited about the outcomes or are contemplating orthotics and expensive and not so attractive ‘Podiatry Shoes’. Save yourself some real money and hassle by simply booking an appointment with us today and getting a different opinion. You’ll benefit from being empowered to make the right choice with a range of suitable options and this will lead you to getting the best outcome long term.
