What does an NDIS Registered Podiatrist do?
An NDIS Registered Podiatrist offers specialised foot and lower limb care services tailored to individuals with disabilities. They provide essential treatment for nail and skin conditions like ingrown toenails, corns, and calluses, particularly for those with reduced self-care capacity. Podiatrists also offer surgical intervention for issues such as plantar warts and ingrown toenails, ensuring effective management. Additionally, they conduct neurovascular assessments and provide chronic wound management and prevention strategies for individuals with diabetes, contributing to diabetic foot care. These services are pivotal in enhancing the foot health and mobility of NDIS participants, improving their overall quality of life.

Orthotic Management: Utilising their expertise, NDIS podiatrists prescribe and provide orthotic devices to address biomechanical abnormalities, enhance stability, and alleviate pain, promoting better mobility and comfort.
Preventive Foot Care: They educate clients and their support networks on preventive foot care strategies, including proper footwear selection, nail care, and skin management, to reduce the risk of complications and maintain overall foot health.
