The Ankle, Foot and Orthotic Centre in Northcote provides expert podiatry and orthotic care focused on improving comfort, function and mobility. Led by Geoff Dowling, a qualified podiatrist and orthotist, the clinic delivers personalised treatment for a wide range of foot, ankle and lower limb conditions.
Each appointment begins with a comprehensive assessment to ensure an accurate diagnosis. Using advanced tools such as musculoskeletal ultrasound, underlying causes of pain or movement issues are identified, allowing for tailored treatment plans that support effective and lasting outcomes.
A broad range of services is available beyond general podiatry care, including custom orthotics and footwear, advanced orthotic solutions, extracorporeal shockwave therapy, nail surgery, ultrasound guided injection therapies and footwear modification. Routine treatments such as callus and corn removal, nail care, ingrown toenail management, plantar wart treatment, fracture management and care for foot and ankle injuries are also provided.
Taking a holistic approach, the clinic supports patients with conditions such as flat feet, heel pain, Achilles pain, arch concerns, forefoot discomfort and ankle injuries, with a strong focus on helping each patient move with greater ease and confidence in their daily life.
