Outer Ankle Pain? It Could Be Peroneal Tendinopathy
Pain along the outside of your ankle or foot can make walking, exercising and everyday movement uncomfortable. A common cause is peroneal tendinopathy — irritation of the tendons that help stabilise your ankle.

Peroneal tendinopathy occurs when the peroneal tendons, which run along the outside of the ankle and foot, become overloaded or irritated. These tendons are essential for ankle stability, balance and controlling foot movement during walking and running.
When placed under repetitive strain or sudden increases in activity, these tendons can become painful and slow to heal.
This condition is often linked to ankle sprains, overuse, sudden changes in activity, unsupportive footwear or foot biomechanics.

Common symptoms include:
• Pain or tenderness on the outside of the ankle
• Swelling or stiffness
• Pain that worsens with walking or exercise
• Feeling unstable on your feet

If you’re experiencing outer ankle pain or symptoms of peroneal tendinopathy, early treatment can make all the difference. At Bondi Podiatry, we take the time to assess what’s causing your pain and tailor treatment to suit you. Management may include footwear advice, strengthening exercises, custom orthotics and shockwave therapy.

Shockwave therapy can be used as part of a personalised treatment approach — ensuring it’s appropriate for your condition and recovery goals. If ongoing ankle or foot pain is affecting your mobility, shockwave therapy may be an effective option to help relieve pain, improve function and get you back to moving comfortably.

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses targeted high-energy acoustic (sound) waves to stimulate blood flow and support tendon healing. It’s often used for ongoing or stubborn tendon pain and can help reduce discomfort while improving mobility and function.

If ankle pain is slowing you down, we’re here to help.

🌞 Summer Warts: Causes, Prevention & Treatment Options at Bondi Podiatry 🌞

Summer in Sydney means beaches, pools, gyms and barefoot living — but it also means a spike in plantar warts. Warts love warm, moist environments and are easily picked up during the summer months, especially around pools, change rooms and shared showers.

If you’ve noticed a painful or stubborn spot on the sole of your foot, early treatment is key.

What Are Plantar Warts?
Plantar warts, also known as verrucae, are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). The virus enters through tiny breaks in the skin and causes thickened, rough lesions on the soles of the feet.
Unlike corns or calluses, warts often have black pin-point dots (clotted blood vessels) and are painful when squeezed from the sides they generally sit deeper in the skin due to pressure from walking.

🌡 Why Warts Are More Common in Summer
👉Summer creates the perfect storm for wart transmission:
👉Warm, damp environments encourage viral survival
👉Increased barefoot exposure in public areas
👉Small cuts and softened skin allow easier entry of the virus
👉Children, teens, athletes and anyone using communal facilities are particularly at risk.

🩺 Wart Treatment Options at Bondi Podiatry
At Bondi Podiatry, wart treatment is never one-size-fits-all. Your podiatrist will assess the size, depth, location and duration of the wart before recommending the most effective treatment plan.

🔥 Debridement & Chemical Treatments 🔥
This is often the first step in wart management. These treatments encourage your immune system to recognise and fight the virus. Thickened skin is carefully reduced to expose the wart, followed by targeted application of medical-grade treatments such as:
👉Salicylic Acid
👉Silver Nitrate
👉Nitric Acid

🪡 Needling (Faulkner’s Needling)
For stubborn or long-standing warts, needling is a highly effective option. Performed under local anaesthetic, this technique stimulates a strong immune response that helps the body eliminate the virus — even at other sites on the foot. This treatment is ideal for patients who have tried multiple methods without success or simply wish for a shorter treatment timeframe.

🛡 How to Prevent Summer Warts
Prevention is always better than treatment. Simple habits can significantly reduce your risk:
👉Wear thongs or slides in public showers and pool areas
👉Keep feet clean and dry
👉Avoid sharing towels, shoes or socks
👉Cover existing warts to prevent spread

🗓 What to Expect From Treatment
Wart treatment usually requires weekly or fortnightly appointments, depending on the method used. Because warts involve the immune system, consistency is key — but with professional care, most patients achieve excellent outcomes.

Warts can be stubborn, painful and frustrating — but you don’t have to manage them alone. Our experienced podiatrists will guide you through the most effective treatment options to get you back to pain-free summer living.

If you have any questions feel free to contact us on (02) 8971 1682 or head to https://www.bondipodiatry.com.au/ to book an appointment.

Fungal Nails vs. Nail Trauma

Understanding the differences and treatment options

Lately, we’ve had a lot of questions about fungal nails versus nail trauma, so we wanted to share a simple explanation to help clear things up.

When it comes to nail health, it’s quite common to notice changes such as thickening, discolouration, or a change in texture. These changes are often caused by either a fungal nail infection or nail trauma, and while they can look similar, the underlying cause (and treatment) can be quite different.

What causes nail thickening and yellowing?

Both fungal infections and trauma can lead to thickened, yellowed nails.

Fungal nail infections (also known as onychomycosis) tend to develop gradually. Over time, the nail may become yellow or brown, thick, brittle, crumbly, and distorted. The nail can also lose its natural shine and sometimes lift away from the nail bed.

Nail trauma, on the other hand, can result from a single injury (such as dropping something on your toe) or from repeated pressure over time, often caused by tight footwear or certain activities. Trauma can cause the nail to thicken, curve, and become misshapen as it responds to ongoing stress.

The link between trauma and fungal infections

Trauma doesn’t just change the appearance of the nail — if left unmanaged, it can also increase the risk of developing a secondary fungal infection. Damage to the nail plate or nail bed can create small entry points for fungi, meaning trauma-related nail changes can sometimes progress into a “double issue” over the long term. This is why early assessment and treatment are so important.

Diagnosing the cause

A podiatrist will start by assessing your nail visually and reviewing your medical and nail history. While experience and appearance can provide clues, the most accurate way to diagnose a fungal nail is through microscopy and culture, where a nail sample is sent to a lab. Faster in-clinic tests are also available, offering a quick (though slightly less definitive) result.

Treatment approaches: fungal nails vs. thickened nails

Fungal nails
Treatment may include topical antifungal treatments, oral medication, laser therapy, or a combination of approaches. Because nails grow slowly, treatment requires patience and consistency to achieve the best outcome.

Thickened nails caused by trauma
Treatment focuses on reducing nail thickness, improving comfort, and preventing further damage. This may include professional nail reduction and a medical pedicure (Medi-Pedi). If the nail matrix has been permanently damaged, the nail may remain thickened, but symptoms can usually be well managed.

Cosmetic support during treatment: KeryFlex nail reconstruction

For those who are concerned about the appearance of their nails during treatment, Bondi Podiatry offers KeryFlex®, a medical-grade nail reconstruction system.
KeryFlex allows the nail to be cosmetically restored while the underlying fungal infection or trauma is being treated. It creates a natural-looking nail, helping improve confidence and appearance throughout the treatment process.

No matter the cause, early intervention makes a big difference. A podiatrist can help identify what’s going on and guide you towards the most appropriate treatment plan to keep your nails healthy and comfortable.
