Podiatry

Chris Petropoulos, the leading Podiatrist at Healthcare on Collins has been seeing clients here for well over 25 years. Having years of experience, and having completed extra training, workshops and seminars, Chris has the knowledge and skills to:

  • manage lower limb acute sports and overuse injuries
  • provide foot wound care, particularly for those with diabetes
  • treat nail and skin conditions
  • prepare rehabilitation and exercise programs
  • perform dry needling for foot related musculoskeletal conditions
  • prescribe and fit a range of orthotics
  • provide education on the appropriate footwear
  • perform video gait and running analysis
Chris, through gait analysis, rehabilitation, orthotic prescription and footwear advice, can help to reduce your foot pain, achieve an efficient and well-aligned gait, minimise injury and optimise performance.

Chris also manages common skin conditions such as corns, calluses and warts, as well as infections of both the skin and nails. Painful ingrown nails can be readily relieved with podiatry and permanent surgical correction for chronic cases is performed at Healthcare on Collins under local anaesthetic.

As a Podiatrist, Chris plays an important role in preventing long term complications from a range of conditions, such as diabetes and arthritis, which can affect the circulatory and neurological health of the foot and lower leg. Podiatry can effectively manage developmental anomalies and foot postural alignment issues which can interfere with comfortable growth and activity in the young.

Initial podiatry consultations with Chris are of 45 minutes duration.  During this time he will fully assess your condition and design and implement a treatment plan. Review consultations are of 30 minutes duration. Podiatry consultations may be covered under your Private Health Insurance.  Please check with your private insurer to see if you are covered for part payment of your consultations.  Please ensure you bring your membership card to your appointment if this applies to you.

Should you have a chronic health condition for which Podiatry would be of benefit, you may qualify for a rebate under a Medicare Team Care Arrangement.  Please consult your General Practitioner if this applies to you.

To arrange an appointment to see Chris please phone (03) 9650 4284 or book here.
