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. Kahibah residents managing diabetes, arthritis, or chronic foot pain benefit from 3D-scanned custom orthotics that provide targeted support and relieve pressure across vulnerable foot areas.
Ideal for: runners, active adults, children with postural concerns, tradies on their feet all day, patients managing diabetes or arthritis

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 drug-free option for Kahibah residents with chronic plantar fasciitis or heel pain who want to avoid long-term medication or repeated injections.
Ideal for: chronic pain lasting 3+ months, tendon injuries, runners and athletes, anyone wanting to avoid injections or surgery. $100 per session.

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.
