Itβs been a big week. Weβve covered everything from calluses to complex biomechanics, lasers to ligaments, and blood flow to balance. If nothing else, this Podiatry Week has shown that podiatry is far more than just βcutting toenailsβ β itβs a blend of science, craftsmanship, and a little bit of art.
What Weβve Learnt This Week
β’ π«ππ 1: Nail and skin care are about more than comfort β theyβre about health, mobility, and confidence.
β’ π«ππ 2: Biomechanics is where science meets movement; where we test, measure, and hypothesise to understand how your body works from the ground up.
β’ π«ππ 3: With Shockwave, Laser, and Inner Arch Orthotics, we take theory into practice β turning diagnosis into results.
β’ π«ππ 4: Neurovascular assessments remind us that the feet are the window to your circulatory and nervous systems β and that prevention is always better than cure.
β’ π«ππ 5: Nail surgery, done well, is simple, elegant, and effective (and with the Comfort-In injector, surprisingly comfortable too).
β’ π«ππ 6: Pain treatment isnβt about βjust rest itβ β itβs about smart, evidence-based strategies that help you move freely again.
Through it all, one truth remains: podiatry changes lives. Sometimes subtly, sometimes profoundly.

Podiatry is a wonderfully quirky field. We get to combine analytical thinking with hands-on problem-solving β part scientist, part craftsman, part detective.
We study forces, anatomy, and pathology, yet spend our days helping real people feel and function better. Itβs deeply human work, and thatβs what makes it special.
Every foot tells a story β of movement, history, and habit. Our role is to listen carefully, interpret the signs, and help that story continue with less pain and more confidence.

Here at Silver Podiatry, weβve built our reputation on that balance of science and care.
We donβt outsource orthotics to someone whoβs never met you β we design and craft them in-house through Inner Arch Orthotics, right here in Inglewood. We use the latest tools β from lasers to shockwave β but never lose sight of the human behind the heel pain.
Itβs a philosophy thatβs earned recognition along the way β including the 2023 Allied Health Podiatrist of the Year award for our founder, Elan Silver (who wrote this post, so he can say whatever he likes). But the real reward is watching people walk out of our clinic lighter, freer, and smiling again.

Because every day, we see the difference mobility makes. The patient who can finally run again. The diabetic whoβs avoided a wound. The parent who can chase their kids without pain.
Thatβs the beauty of podiatry β itβs practical, powerful, and quietly transformative.
π£ So hereβs to the feet that carry us, the science that guides us, and the podiatrists who keep Australia moving β one step at a time.
