Following up with the State & Federal government relaxing the restriction on Covid-19 situation, we change ONLY one out of the current policies – “ We stop contacting patients the day before their appointments to check their health status, BUT encourage patients let us know if they are feeling unwell as soon as possible, we are most happy to reschedule the appointment or cancel till further notice. The appointment reminders are still sent out 2 days before as usual to confirm appointments” All other policies are continuing in place, which are attached below for your reference.

In 2019 the global prevalence for having diabetes was 463 million people. Approximately one in two people do not know they have diabetes. These are concerning statistics.

Healthy foot function is critically important. And realizing we have more control over this than we think is especially important. Even if we are not walking or un ..read more

My patients often ask what measures I can assist them with to care for their osteoarthritis pain, and what steps can be taken for lowering pain. Very often this pain has become anywhere between acute to long term, often referred to as chronic pain if it has been over three months. There are multiple levels of strategies we take for managing osteoarthritis pain. It must always begin with a full podiatric medicine examination and assessment. From here I can form a provisional diagnosis of the pain to formulate a treatment and management program. You may have had radiological investigation done b ..read more

The role of activity for foot health can be addressed in many ways.   Encourage your children to get up and have a two minute walk every 20 minutes when they are studying, watching TV or playing games. Place a limit on sitting around at home, remember they are often sitting for long periods already when at school. Encourage participation in sport or even walking activities in the backyard or local walks. Encourage them to do some of their reading homework standing for maybe half the reading. Suggest they help with some chores around the house that keep them active. (Good luck!)   F ..read more
