Heel Pain
A common complaint from Newcastle Beach runners, Bathers Way walkers, and hospitality workers who spend long shifts on their feet. We identify the cause and create a targeted treatment plan.
Learn more about heel pain →Plantar Fasciitis
That sharp pain under your heel with your first morning steps. Common in Newcastle runners doing the Bathers Way coastal walk and professionals standing long hours in the CBD. We offer shockwave therapy, custom orthotics, and structured rehabilitation programs.
Learn more about plantar fasciitis →Achilles Tendonitis
Frequent in surfers at Newcastle Beach and Nobbys, as well as runners tackling the Bathers Way from Nobbys to Merewether. We use evidence-based loading programs and shockwave therapy to support your recovery.
Learn more about achilles tendonitis →Forefoot Pain
Pain across the ball of the foot is often caused by tight dress shoes, high heels, or long shifts in hard-soled footwear — all common for Newcastle CBD workers and hospitality staff. We assess footwear, biomechanics, and load to resolve the underlying cause.
Learn more about forefoot pain →Knee Pain
Foot and ankle alignment directly affects your knees — particularly for Newcastle residents climbing the steep streets around Newcastle East and The Hill. Our biomechanical assessments identify whether your foot posture is contributing to knee pain and address it at the source.
Learn more about knee pain →Ingrown Toenails
A frequent issue for Newcastle office workers and hospitality staff whose enclosed shoes put constant pressure on the toes. We offer conservative care and permanent surgical correction using phenolisation under local anaesthetic with minimal downtime.

Podiatry treatments available at our Junction clinic, just 6 minutes from Newcastle CBD.
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 see many Newcastle residents — from surfers and beach runners to CBD professionals on their feet all day — who need lasting support for heel, knee, and lower back pain.
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.
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. Popular with Newcastle Beach surfers, Bathers Way walkers, and Ocean Baths swimmers dealing with persistent tendon and heel pain.
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.

Happy Feet Podiatry is at 57 Glebe Road, The Junction — about 6 minutes from Newcastle CBD via Darby Street. Whether you’re a surfer at Newcastle Beach, a commuter working in the Hunter Street precinct, or walking the Bathers Way from Nobbys to Merewether, we provide evidence-based podiatry care tailored to your lifestyle.
Newcastle’s CBD, East End, and beachside precincts sit at the heart of the city’s daily life. Surfers at Newcastle Beach and Nobbys, swimmers training at the Newcastle Ocean Baths, office workers walking the Hunter Street Mall, and hospitality staff on long shifts around Honeysuckle all place different demands on their feet and ankles. Common presentations from Newcastle residents include plantar fasciitis from morning runs along Bathers Way, Achilles strain from surfing, and forefoot pain from long days in dress shoes.
Our experienced team has treated thousands of Newcastle residents since 2012, with a focus on long-term results rather than temporary relief. We combine thorough biomechanical assessments with treatments including shockwave therapy, custom 3D-scanned orthotics, and laser nail therapy — all delivered from our Junction clinic, a short drive from the Newcastle CBD.
