My Family Podiatry is in Albany Creek, around 15 minutes' drive from Chermside. We see patients from Chermside, Chermside West, Kedron, Wavell Heights, Geebung and Stafford Heights, as well as other suburbs across Brisbane's north.
Whether you need help with heel pain, an ingrown toenail, orthotics, sports injuries, routine foot care or DVA podiatry, our team can help you understand what is going on and what treatment options are available.
WHY CHERMSIDE PATIENTS TRAVEL TO ALBANY CREEK
Chermside has plenty of GPs, physios and allied health clinics around the shopping centre, and most people only look further afield when a foot problem has not settled. Patients from Chermside often come to us for shockwave therapy for stubborn heel or tendon pain, diagnostic ultrasound in the same appointment, custom orthotics, or children's foot and leg pain.
At My Family Podiatry, we provide care for simple everyday concerns as well as more complex problems involving heel pain, tendon pain, children’s foot pain, ingrown toenails, diabetic foot care and sports injuries.
The drive from Chermside usually takes around 15 minutes, depending on traffic, and there is parking directly outside the clinic.

PODIATRY SERVICES FOR CHERMSIDE PATIENTS
Shockwave Therapy
We use both focused and radial EMS Dolorclast shockwave systems to treat chronic tendon and muscle pain. Shockwave is thought to work by stimulating the tissue's own repair processes and reducing pain sensitivity. Research supports its use for conditions such as plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinopathy, particularly when pain has lasted several months.

Orthotic Therapy
Custom foot orthotics can help change how load is spread through the foot and improve comfort in conditions such as plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and knee or hip pain. Each pair is designed following a full biomechanical assessment that includes gait analysis.

Diagnostic Ultrasound
Our on-site diagnostic ultrasound allows real-time imaging of soft-tissue injuries such as plantar fascia tears, Achilles tendinopathy and bursitis, so we can plan treatment in the same appointment. It is non-invasive and does not use radiation.
MediPedi Foot Care
For patients seeking safe, hygienic, medical-grade pedicures, our MediPedi service combines professional podiatry care with cosmetic finishing. It suits people with cracked heels, thick nails or dry skin. Unlike regular beauty salons, all our instruments are medically sterilised according to infection control standards.

Sports and Active Lifestyles
The bushland tracks in the Chermside Hills Reserves, including the Giwadha Track up to Spider Hill, are popular with local walkers and trail runners. If foot, ankle or leg pain is getting in the way of that, or of gym and team sport, we can help you work out why.
Our sports assessments include:
-
Gait analysis (barefoot and in shoes)
-
VALD Force Deck strength and symmetry testing
-
Running biomechanics and training load guidance
-
Footwear reviews and recommendations
Whether you're managing shin splints, jumper's knee, or heel pain, we will help you plan your return to activity and reduce the chance of it coming back. We work collaboratively with physiotherapists, sports physicians and exercise physiologists for integrated care.
Children's and Family Podiatry
We see children from Chermside and nearby suburbs for concerns such as flat feet, toe walking and growing pains. Early assessment can help identify potential problems before they develop into more significant issues.
Common paediatric conditions we treat:
-
Sever's disease (calcaneal apophysitis)
-
Osgood-Schlatter disease
-
Flat feet and high arches
-
Sport-related foot and ankle injuries
