Our Podiatrist in Oakleigh & Hughesdale
One podiatrist runs our Oakleigh clinic, so you see the same person every visit rather than starting again with someone new. Everything is covered, from a routine foot check to ingrown nails, plantar fasciitis and diabetic foot care.
Tommy Pavan, Podiatrist. Tommy sees the full range of podiatry at our Oakleigh and Hughesdale clinic: sports injuries and lower limb biomechanics, ingrown toenails and general foot care, plantar heel pain, and routine diabetic and neurovascular assessments.
Tommy is also the podiatrist for South Melbourne FC, the Oceania Club of the Century, who play in the OFC Champions League, the Australian Championship, the Australia Cup and NPL Victoria, so match day loads and return to play decisions are everyday work for him.

Podiatry Treatments Available In Oakleigh
Relieving foot pain, recovering from a sports injury, or managing a long-term foot condition, our Oakleigh podiatry gets you back to comfort and mobility. Tap a treatment below, or call (03) 9853 7836. Every plan is built for your own feet, so get in touch for detail on yours.
General Foot Care
Care for the common problems: cracked heels, corns, calluses, ingrown toenails, athlete’s foot, and thickened or fungal nails. The aim is pain-free mobility and feet that stay healthy, rather than a visit every month.
Musculoskeletal and Sports Injuries
We diagnose and treat injuries and overuse conditions including Achilles tendinitis, shin splints and plantar fasciitis. You get a rehabilitation plan with a tailored exercise program, plus gait analysis and a biomechanical assessment to reduce the risk of the next one.
Orthotics and Support
Where alignment is the problem, we make custom orthotics to correct it. We also advise on footwear for your foot shape and the way you actually live, which is often the cheaper half of the fix.
Chronic Disease Management
If you are managing diabetes or neuropathy, neurovascular assessments protect your foot health before something goes wrong. We also treat age-related foot conditions such as arthritis, nerve disorders and circulation problems.
Surgical Care
We perform minor surgical procedures in the clinic for ingrown toenails, warts and verrucae, and we walk you through infection prevention and how to look after it while it heals.
Paediatric Podiatry
Growth-related conditions such as in-toeing, flat feet and heel pain affect children as they develop. We assess what is happening and advise on footwear that supports the foot, eases the discomfort and lets it grow properly.
Preventive Care
Screenings and advice to keep your feet healthy before a problem starts, plus straightforward education on foot health, injury prevention and posture.
Specialised Services
For structural problems such as hammertoes, overlapping toes and bunions, we build a plan that eases the discomfort and improves function and mobility over time.

Frequently Asked Questions Podiatrist Oakleigh
How To Choose an Oakleigh or Hughesdale, VIC Podiatrist?
Compare podiatrists on qualifications, experience, areas of expertise, the services they offer, clinic location, patient reviews, availability, consultation cost and the equipment they use.
If you can, visit in person. It is the quickest way to tell whether you will feel comfortable and confident with the people treating your feet.
Should I See A Podiatrist Or An Orthotist For My Feet?
Both specialise in foot and ankle care. Podiatrists diagnose and treat foot and ankle conditions. Orthotists make custom orthotics, braces and similar devices to support or correct a problem. Depending on what is going on, you may need both.
What Does A Podiatrist Do For Your Feet?
At our Oakleigh clinic that starts with a thorough assessment of your feet and legs to identify the pain, injury or abnormality. From there you get a treatment plan, which may include lifestyle adjustments, targeted exercises, orthotic insoles or a minor procedure, plus preventive care and education so it does not return.
Why Is Podiatry Foot Care Essential For Your Feet?
Your feet take a lifetime of stress, which turns into chronic pain and mobility problems if it goes unchecked. Good podiatry care finds problems early, stops complications, and keeps you active.
Can I Use NDIS Funding For Podiatry Services?
Yes, NDIS funding can be used for podiatry in Oakleigh where the services are necessary to help you achieve your goals. Confirm with your NDIS plan manager that podiatry is covered under your plan.
What Is The Difference Between Podiatry And Physio?
Both work on the lower limb. Podiatrists specialise in the feet and ankles, while physiotherapists take a broader view that includes the legs, hips and lower back. Depending on your problem you may benefit from both, and at our Oakleigh clinic that is the same building.
Align HC also offers exercise physiology, which uses exercise to manage and prevent disease, distinct from physiotherapy’s focus on restoring movement after injury.
How Much Does Podiatry In Oakleigh & Hughesdale, VIC Cost?
An initial podiatry consult is usually $156.55, and follow-up appointments are $135. For new patients your first appointment is free with eligible private health cover, or $99 without it. Costs vary with the treatment you need, so call us and we will tell you before you book.
Are Podiatry Costs Covered By Medicare?
Routine podiatry is generally not covered. Medicare may contribute to podiatry through a GP-managed Chronic Disease Management plan, which covers a limited number of allied health visits a year. Routine foot care such as nail trimming or corn removal is not included. Ask your GP whether you qualify.
What Conditions Can Podiatrists Treat?
Heel pain, sports injuries, diabetic foot care, nail disorders, shin splints, calluses, leg pain, nail surgery, ingrown toenails, foot and ankle pain and postural problems, among others. We diagnose the cause and treat it, rather than only the symptom you noticed.
What Is Shockwave Therapy, And How Is It Used In Podiatry?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that sends high-energy sound waves into the sore tissue to stimulate healing and reduce pain in the foot and ankle. In podiatry it is often used for stubborn plantar fasciitis and other long-standing pain, and it gives you an option that avoids surgery.
