Fungal nail treatment, explained 👣

This long-standing fungal infection of the big toenail is being treated using PACT therapy.

A specialised blue hydrogel is applied and left to bind to the fungus, followed by a targeted red LED light. The light activates the gel, breaking down the fungal cell wall and helping eradicate the infection at its source.

• No pain
• No medication
• No downtime
• Safe and evidence-based

Results take time because healthy nail needs to grow through, but early treatment makes a big difference.

If you’re dealing with thick, discoloured, or stubborn fungal nails, a podiatry assessment can help determine the right treatment plan.

27/12/2025

An ingrown toenail happens when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin instead of over it.

Common causes include:
• Nails cut too short
• Tight or narrow footwear
• A natural nail shape that curves down at the sides

Once the nail starts digging in, the area can become red, swollen, and very tender, and it usually doesn’t resolve on its own.

If you’re feeling that sharp, nagging pain along the side of your toe, getting it checked early can prevent it from worsening.

At Modern Medicine Ballarat, we’re offering $25 ingrown toenail assessments. We’ll confirm whether it’s ingrown and help relieve some of the pain straight away.

Book in today and get back to walking comfortably again.

Fungal nail infections are common and can be slow to resolve due to nail growth and individual factors.

At Modern Medicine, we may use PACT med (Photodynamic Antimicrobial Therapy) as part of a treatment plan for suitable patients. This approach uses a medical gel and light to target fungal cells in the nail, without damaging healthy tissue.

To help you understand your options, we’re currently offering $25 fungal nail assessments when you book in.

A podiatry assessment allows us to determine suitability and discuss the most appropriate treatment pathway for you.

Individual results vary. Treatment recommendations are based on clinical assessment.

As we hit the tail end of the year, many of us are feeling stressed, tense, stiff, and sore - especially after long days sitting at a desk.

Tight neck and shoulders, an aching lower back, and general body fatigue are common signs your body needs a break.

Next time you’re on your work break, save this post and run through these simple stretches to help ease tension and reset your body while working at a desk.

We always recommend seeing a qualified healthcare practitioner for personalised advice, particularly if pain or symptoms persist.

If discomfort persists, a healthcare assessment can help identify what’s contributing.

3 signs it might be time for a new pair of shoes 👟

• Uneven wear on the sole or heel
• Reduced support or cushioning compared to when they were new
• New aches or pain in the feet, ankles, knees, or lower back

Footwear plays an important role in how forces are absorbed and distributed through the body. If pain or discomfort persists, a podiatry assessment can help determine whether your shoes are contributing.

20/12/2025

Myotherapy: targeted treatment for pain, movement and recovery

Myotherapy focuses on assessing and treating muscle and soft tissue pain that’s affecting how you move or feel day to day.

It’s helpful for:

Ongoing muscle tightness or pain

Neck, shoulder or back pain

Headaches and jaw tension

Sporting or work-related injuries

Postural strain from long hours sitting or repetitive work

What it helps with:

Reducing pain and muscle tension

Improving movement and flexibility

Supporting injury recovery

Preventing flare-ups and recurring issues

At Modern Medicine, myotherapy is about understanding why your body is sore, not just treating the symptoms so you can move with more ease and confidence.
