Our experts deal with complex foot and leg conditions, including ligament, muscle and tendon tears (plantar fascia, plantar plate, ankle ligaments, Achilles), joint conditions as arthritis, menisci tears, bursitis, as well as chronic pain due to peripheral neuropathy, nerve entrapments and other difficult to treat nerve pain syndromes.
Common areas treated include Achilles pain, heel pain, plantar fasciitis, ankle sprains and ankle pain.
Our Mentone Foot and leg services also provide toenail fungus treatment with ‘TOE FX’ photodynamic nail fungus therapy, that is new to Australia.
Toenail fungal infections have long been a frustration for many podiatrists due to unavailability of an effective, safe and affordable treatment. Most topical liquids require daily application for months or years with average results and will fail in moderate to severe toenail fungus cases.
Cheltenham Podiatry was the first clinic in Australia to provide TOE FX photodynamic therapy for toenail fungus. It is a pain free, safe alternative, that is more effective than off the shelf treatments. We have been using this therapy for over 10 years, and have fine-tuned our protocols, to treat both moderate and severe cases. We have a specific program for the severe cases to bring efficacy up to 70-80% success.

Orthotics improve the function and efficiency of feet and lower limb joints by redistributing excessive pressures and loads, improving postural stability and function, and reducing tissue stress and pain. Melbourne based Mentone Podiatrists are local orthotic experts with expert training in the latest techniques in biomechanical assessment and gait analysis to ensure the appropriate treatments. We offer a complete range of orthotic services, including soft and rigid orthotics and tailor-made devices using 3D laser scans.
Orthotics are frequently used to prevent and treat sports injuries, stress fractures, heel and foot pain, bursitis, shin splints, arch and joint, shin or knee pain, back pain, arthritis-osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, flat feet, and ulcers where appropriate. We provide custom, semi-custom orthotics, and preformed orthotics/arch supports, the type of treatment depends on many factors based on biomechanical assessment, shoes, activity, medical conditions, and foot pathology. There is a huge array of both soft and rigid carbon fibre materials to choose from, as well as paddings. Orthotic prescription is often accompanied with other treatment programs for best long-term outcomes, as platelet rich plasma and often combined with muscle stretching, strengthening, mobilisation, and appropriate footwear.
Nail Fungus Mentone
Melbourne based Mentone Podiatrists treat ’Fungal Nail Infections’. This is a fungal nail disease common in the feet (onychomycosis). Toenail fungus infections have long frustrated podiatrists due to the lack of an effective, safe and affordable treatment. Most treatments require daily application for months, even years with average results. Oral tablets have a good success rate but can risk severe side effects. Nail fungus infection signs are characteristic, and visual diagnosis can be confirmed by Melbourne podiatrists (scrapings are taken from infected nails and sent to pathology in doubtful cases).
Mentone Podiatrists have introduced a new treatment, “TOE FX “toenail fungus therapy, which combines a non-toxic dye methylene blue, matched with a specific wavelength 630nm intense LED light, without any pain or damage to skin while treating the fungal nails. Melbourne based Mentone Podiatrists also treat other common foot conditions such as Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendinitis/tendinosis, ankle pain, Ingrown Toenails, foot, ankle and knee joint conditions including arthritis. Treatments are based on comprehensive consultations and professional advice.
