Podiatry for Sydenham patients at Hyper Health Marrickville
Podiatry at Hyper Health is delivered by Ray Nguyen, whose practice centres on thorough gait analysis and lower-limb assessment. Ray holds a Bachelor of Health Science and a Master of Podiatric Medicine, and has worked across hospitals, aged care and multidisciplinary allied health settings. Appointments for Sydenham patients are seen at our Marrickville clinic at Shop 1/20-22 Station St, open seven days. Because we also have chiropractors, physiotherapists and massage therapists on site, problems that turn out to sit above the foot do not require a separate referral and a three-week wait — we can bring a colleague in directly. What an initial appointment involves: - A history covering your symptoms, footwear, activity and any relevant medical conditions - A physical assessment of joint range, strength, skin and circulation - Gait analysis, walking and running where relevant - A working diagnosis explained in plain terms, and what it means for you - A treatment plan with a realistic timeframe, and the cost of anything recommended stated up front We are registered for private health rebates with HICAPS on site, and we see NDIS participants — see our NDIS podiatry page for how that works.
Talk to UsWart or callus?
Plantar warts and callus look similar and are treated completely differently, which is why home treatment so often fails — people spend months applying acid to a callus. The distinguishing signs are reliable: a wart interrupts the normal skin lines rather than following them, is typically painful when squeezed side-to-side rather than pressed directly, and often shows fine dark points which are thrombosed capillaries. Callus does the opposite: skin lines run through it, and direct pressure is what hurts.
Treatment that works
Effective treatment starts with debriding the overlying callus so the treatment reaches the lesion — this alone accounts for much of the difference between clinical and home results. From there, options include salicylic acid under occlusion, cryotherapy, or needling for resistant lesions. Warts are viral and can take several sessions; we will be upfront about the likely timeframe rather than promising a single visit.
