Podiatry
Healthy Feet. Stronger Foundation. Better Movement.
Podiatry care that keeps you comfortable, mobile, and on your feet. At Delton Health Care, our podiatrists assess and treat a wide range of foot and lower limb conditions. Foot health is easy to overlook until something goes wrong. But for many of the people we work with, especially those living with diabetes, reduced mobility, or complex health needs, the condition of their feet has a direct impact on their ability to stay active, independent, and safe.
We provide thorough, consistent podiatry support that catches small problems before they become serious ones, and manages complex conditions with the attention and expertise they require.
We work with NDIS participants, aged care clients, and people in the community who want to stay mobile and pain-free.
- Diabetic foot assessments and ongoing monitoring
- Nail care and pathology treatment
- Custom and prefabricated orthotic prescription
- Wound care and skin condition management
- Biomechanical assessments and gait analysis

Why Choose Delton Healthcare for Podiatry?
Preventative Care That Protects Long-Term Health
Many serious foot complications are avoidable with regular, skilled podiatry care. Our clinicians identify risk early and put the right management strategies in place before small issues escalate.
Specialist Diabetic Foot Care
People living with diabetes face significant foot health risks. Our podiatrists conduct thorough diabetic foot assessments and provide ongoing monitoring and education to reduce the risk of complications.
Orthotics and Biomechanical Assessment
Poor foot mechanics can affect the knees, hips, and lower back. We assess how your feet and lower limbs move and prescribe custom or off-the-shelf orthotics that correct imbalances and reduce pain.
Care Delivered Where You Are
Our podiatrists visit clients in residential aged care facilities and private homes, removing the transport barriers that often prevent people from accessing the foot care they need.
Our Podiatry Services
General Podiatry and Nail Care
Routine foot care is often the most important care. For older adults, people with limited mobility, or anyone with conditions that make self-care of the feet difficult, regular podiatry appointments keep the feet healthy, comfortable, and free from the complications that neglect can cause.
Our podiatrists provide thorough, professional general foot care that goes beyond a basic appointment. We assess the overall health of the feet at every visit and flag anything that needs further attention.
- Nail trimming, thickening, and nail pathology treatment
- Corn and callus removal
- Ingrown toenail assessment and treatment
- Fungal infection management
- Dry skin, cracking, and wound prevention
Diabetic Foot Care
Diabetes affects the feet in ways that require specialist attention. Peripheral neuropathy reduces sensation, making it hard to notice small injuries. Poor circulation slows healing. Together, these factors create a risk environment where even a minor cut or pressure point can develop into a serious wound.
Our podiatrists are experienced in diabetic foot management and provide structured assessment, monitoring, and education that helps clients and their families understand the risks and manage them effectively.
- Annual and biannual diabetic foot risk assessments
- Neuropathy and circulation screening
- High-risk foot management and wound prevention
- Footwear assessment and advice
- Referral pathways for wound care and vascular assessment when needed
Biomechanics and Orthotics
The way your feet move has a ripple effect through the entire lower body. Flat arches, overpronation, leg length differences, and abnormal gait patterns can all contribute to pain in the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and lower back.
Our podiatrists conduct detailed biomechanical assessments and gait analysis to identify the root cause of these issues, then prescribe orthotics that are matched to your specific anatomy, footwear, and daily activities.
- Gait analysis and lower limb biomechanical assessment
- Custom orthotic prescription and manufacture
- Prefabricated orthotic fitting and review
- Footwear advice and modification recommendations
- Management of heel pain, plantar fasciitis, and shin splints
Wound Care and Skin Conditions
Foot wounds, particularly in people with diabetes or compromised circulation, require careful, skilled management to heal properly and avoid infection. Our podiatrists provide ongoing wound assessment and care, working with the broader clinical team where complex or high-risk wounds require a coordinated approach.
- Acute and chronic wound assessment and dressing
- Pressure ulcer prevention and management
- Skin and nail condition management
- Coordination with GPs and specialists for complex wound care
