At Feet First Podiatry, we know that foot issues can range from mildly uncomfortable to truly debilitating — and sometimes even a little embarrassing. Our dedicated team of Registered Podiatrists and Foot Care Assistants are here to help you move comfortably and confidently again, with personalised, expert care.
Whether you’re dealing with skin and nail concerns, biomechanical problems, or need routine foot maintenance, we’ve got your feet covered — quite literally!
We treat a full range of common foot conditions, including corns, calluses, cracked heels, fungal infections, and verrucas. Our Registered Podiatrists provide expert assessments and hands-on treatment to improve foot health and function.
Appointments with Our Foot Care Assistant
All Foot Care Assistant services are supervised by a Registered Podiatrist. These are cosmetic or routine care services and not suitable for high-risk or complex medical foot conditions.
If you experience pain when walking, exercising, or standing, you may benefit from a biomechanical assessment. Our Podiatrists evaluate your gait and lower limb alignment to uncover the root cause of issues like heel pain, flat feet, or knee discomfort — and provide treatment plans that may include orthotics, rehabilitation, or shockwave therapy.
We specialize in treating fungal nail infections, offering effective solutions and preventive care to manage and resolve these conditions. More information
For patients with diabetes, we offer comprehensive foot checks to assess sensation and circulation, reducing the risk of complications. We are also a registered provider for the HNZ Canterbury Community Diabetes Foot Ulcer Prevention Service.
We custom-manufacture foot orthoses tailored to your individual biomechanics. These orthotics support and correct foot function, helping to relieve pain and improve alignment. More information.
This non-invasive therapy is ideal for chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendinopathy. Radial Pressure Wave (RPW) therapy stimulates tissue repair and reduces pain — helping you recover faster. More information.
