Heel Pain
A common complaint from Carrington Foreshore walkers, dockland workers standing long shifts, and residents navigating the heritage suburb’s uneven surfaces. We identify the root cause and create a targeted treatment plan.
Learn more about heel pain →Plantar Fasciitis
Sharp underfoot pain with your first morning steps is a frequent presentation from Carrington workers in occupational footwear and residents walking the Throsby Creek foreshore path. Shockwave therapy and custom orthotics address the underlying biomechanical cause.
Learn more about plantar fasciitis →Ingrown Toenails
Common in Carrington workers who wear steel-capped or enclosed occupational footwear. We offer conservative management and permanent surgical correction using phenolisation under local anaesthetic, with minimal downtime.
Learn more about ingrown toenails →Knee Pain
Foot and ankle alignment directly influences knee health. Workers and residents spending long hours on concrete or uneven heritage surfaces often present with knee pain that originates in poor foot mechanics. Our biomechanical assessments identify and address the root cause.

Fungal nail infections are common in occupational settings where shared footwear or wet conditions are a factor. Our 1064YAG laser treatment is drug-free and effective, with new nail growth typically visible within 3–6 months.

Callus, corns, and general foot pain from occupational footwear are among the most common presentations from Carrington residents. Our qualified podiatrists provide thorough skin and nail care alongside biomechanical assessment.

Podiatry treatments available at our Junction clinic, just 10 minutes from Carrington.
Custom Orthotics
Prescription orthotics designed from a 3D scan of your feet, prescribed and fitted on-site by qualified podiatrists. Unlike generic insoles, custom orthotics correct the underlying biomechanical cause of pain — not just the symptom. We treat many Carrington workers and residents who need lasting biomechanical support from occupational footwear, foreshore walking, and long shifts on hard surfaces.
Ideal for: runners, active adults, children with postural concerns, tradies on their feet all day, patients managing diabetes or arthritis
Learn more about custom orthotics →Ingrown Toenail Surgery
Permanent surgical correction of chronic ingrown toenails using phenolisation under local anaesthetic. The procedure is minimally invasive with minimal downtime — most patients return to normal activities within days. Our podiatrist Melinda Webber is highly experienced in nail surgery with a gentle, patient-focused technique and provides thorough follow-up care.
Ideal for: recurring ingrown nails, infected or painful nails, patients who haven’t responded to conservative treatment, children with persistent nail issues
Learn more about nail surgery →Shockwave Therapy
Non-invasive treatment for chronic musculoskeletal pain, particularly plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and heel spurs. An effective alternative to corticosteroid injections or surgery. Sessions take 10–15 minutes, with many patients noticing improvement after 1–3 treatments. An effective option for Carrington residents with chronic heel pain or Achilles tendonitis from occupational footwear or foreshore walking.
Ideal for: chronic pain lasting 3+ months, tendon injuries, runners and athletes, anyone wanting to avoid injections or surgery. $100 per session.
Learn more about shockwave therapy →Laser Treatment for Fungal Nails
1064YAG thermal laser that targets fungal infection beneath the toenail — no drugs, no needles, no downtime. A safe option for patients who cannot tolerate oral antifungal medications due to liver concerns or drug interactions. Sessions take 20–30 minutes with new healthy nail growth typically visible in 3–6 months. Typically 4–5 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart.
Ideal for: stubborn fungal nails, patients who can’t take oral antifungals, diabetic or immunocompromised patients, anyone wanting a drug-free alternative

Happy Feet Podiatry is at 57 Glebe Road, The Junction — about 10 minutes from Carrington via Cowper Street and Hannell Street. Whether you walk the Throsby Creek foreshore, work long shifts in occupational footwear, or live in one of Carrington’s heritage residential streets, we provide evidence-based podiatry tailored to your lifestyle.
Carrington is one of Newcastle’s most distinctive heritage suburbs, bordered by the Hunter River and Throsby Creek. Residents enjoy the Carrington Foreshore Park and the quiet streets around the Carrington Heritage Hotel, while many work in nearby dockland and industrial settings. Long shifts in steel-capped boots or occupational shoes, combined with foreshore walking on uneven surfaces, create a high rate of heel pain, nail conditions, and ingrown toenails.
Our team has treated patients from Carrington and the broader inner harbour area since 2012, focusing on accurate diagnosis and long-term results. We offer shockwave therapy, 3D-scanned custom orthotics, laser nail therapy, and nail surgery — all from our Junction clinic, a short drive across the harbour from Carrington.
