At My FootDr Stirling (formerly Adelaide Hills Family & Sports Podiatry Centre) our friendly podiatrists and support staff are committed to providing you with the highest quality foot care and are here to help assess and treat your feet to get you back to your normal life.
The development of a child’s foot and lower limb is critical to ensure that they are able to enjoy a happy, healthy and active adult life. Kids feet and legs develop very rapidly, and it can be difficult for parents to know what is normal, and what isn’t. The growing foot needs special care as the bones are predominantly cartilage, and as such they cannot be considered “small adults”. The start of the new school year often means that new school shoes are necessary. Here is a quick overview of a child foot and some tips on getting fitted for good quality shoes for your child this year.
A podiatrist specialises in treating problems with and injuries to the feet, ankles, legs and knees, as well as optimising their function.
A podiatrist is registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) after studying for a minimum of four years.
It goes without saying that children are always growing and changing! It’s exciting to watch them grow and become more confident on their feet. This often quite rapid growth, however, can result in children experiencing vague symptoms that can be difficult for parents to identify – or know what to do to help.

Down Syndrome is a genetic disorder where the cell division of a developing baby results in them having an extra copy of chromosome 21. The result is physical and developmental changes in the child.
Many of these characteristics are well understood and are able to be managed. The related foot conditions are also generally well understood, although management and treatment of these often painful and debilitating symptoms are often overlooked or ignored. Here at My FootDr, we believe that all children with Down Syndrome should be clinically assessed so that the right steps can be taken to help the child feel comfortable, walk and play confidently, and help prevent or slow the onset of other problems.
Diabetes is a systemic metabolic disorder that impairs the body’s ability to absorb glucose from the blood stream and provide it to the tissue cells that require it for normal activity and health. The elevated blood glucose levels that remain in the bloodstream affect all body organs and systems, including the circulatory system and the peripheral nerves of the lower limb.
Our centres provide the full scope of clinical podiatry including comprehensive foot assessments, various treatments and surgery. Sometimes your feet just need a bit of pampering and we also offer a large range of aesthetic podiatry procedures and foot care products to help ensure that your feet are always at their very best.
