Our Treatments Near Mayfield East

Podiatry treatments available at our Junction clinic, just 10 minutes from Mayfield East.

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 Mayfield East workers and residents who benefit from 3D-scanned custom orthotics to manage foot pain from occupational footwear, standing work, and daily walking.

Ideal for: runners, active adults, children with postural concerns, tradies on their feet all day, patients managing diabetes or arthritis

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

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 Mayfield East residents managing chronic plantar fasciitis or heel pain from occupational standing, without the need for ongoing injections or medication.

Ideal for: chronic pain lasting 3+ months, tendon injuries, runners and athletes, anyone wanting to avoid injections or surgery. $100 per session.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

How far is Happy Feet Podiatry from Mayfield East?
We’re about 10 minutes from Mayfield East (7km via Maitland Road south to Hamilton and then to The Junction). Free parking is available directly outside the clinic at 57 Glebe Road, The Junction.
Do I need a referral to see a podiatrist?
No. You can book directly without a GP referral. However, if you’d like to access Medicare rebates, ask your GP for an Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) referral — this entitles you to up to 5 allied health visits per calendar year.
Can I claim through my private health fund?
Yes. We offer direct billing through HICAPS for all Australian health funds including Medibank, Bupa, HCF, nib, and AHM. You tap your card at reception and only pay the gap — no claim forms required.
I work in a factory and have been getting painful ingrown toenails from my work boots — can you help?
Yes. This is a very common presentation from Mayfield East workers in occupational footwear. We can treat the ingrown toenail conservatively, or if it’s recurring, perform a minor surgical procedure under local anaesthetic for a permanent result. Most patients return to work within a day or two.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Bring your health fund card, any referral letters from your GP, and the footwear you wear most often. If you have previous scans, X-rays, or reports, bring those too — they help us build a complete picture.
Do you treat children’s foot problems?
Yes. We offer dedicated children’s podiatry for growing pains, gait concerns, in-toeing, flat feet, and developmental foot conditions. Early assessment can prevent issues from worsening as your child grows.
What does a podiatry consultation involve?
Your first appointment includes a comprehensive assessment of your feet, ankles, and lower limbs. We examine your posture, gait, joint range of motion, and the specific area of concern to identify the underlying cause before recommending a personalised treatment plan.
