Meet Our Podiatrists in South Brisbane
Two podiatrists work at our South Brisbane clinic. Both are registered with AHPRA. They cover everything from a routine foot health check to corns, calluses, ingrown toenails and biomechanical assessments.
Chalerm Tuantab, Senior Podiatrist. Chalerm founded Align Health Collective and consults across all five clinics, overseeing advanced care for lower limb conditions. He works with elite National Premier League football clubs, keeping their players on the park. Outside the clinic he is usually on the water or on a sports field.
Tony Thai, Senior Podiatrist. Tony graduated from Queensland University of Technology with a Bachelor of Podiatry and has worked in private practice across the Sunshine Coast. He covers all areas of podiatry, particularly musculoskeletal injuries, ingrown toenails and general foot care. Being into basketball, tennis and fishing himself, he knows the beating feet take.
Both take bookings online, or phone the clinic on (07) 2103 3978 and we will find you a time.
Podiatry Treatments Available In South Brisbane
General foot pain, a sports injury, a chronic condition, or the changes that come with growing and ageing. Tap a treatment below, or call (07) 2103 3978. Every plan is designed around the patient in front of us, so get in touch for detail on yours.
General Foot Care
Ingrown toenails, cracked heels, calluses and corns, thickened nails and athlete’s foot. You get a treatment plan aimed at foot health and pain-free mobility, not a standing monthly appointment.
Musculoskeletal and Sports Injuries
We diagnose and treat acute and overuse injuries including Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis and shin splints. You get a rehabilitation plan built to get you back to your sport, plus gait analysis and a biomechanical assessment for injury prevention.
Orthotics and Support
Incorrect alignment causes a lot of foot problems. We prescribe custom orthotics fitted to your feet, and give footwear advice for comfort and pain relief. Gait analysis shows you how you actually move, which is often where the answer is.
Chronic Disease Management
Diabetes and neuropathy need careful management. Neurovascular assessments protect your feet before something goes wrong, and we also treat arthritis, nerve disorders and circulation problems.
Surgical Care
We perform minor surgical procedures in the clinic for warts, verrucae and ingrown toenails, and we walk you through infection prevention and how to look after it while it heals.
Paediatric Podiatry
Growing children get flat feet, in-toeing and heel pain, and left alone these affect how they develop. We treat children as well as adults, and advise on footwear that supports the foot while it grows.
Preventive Care
Screenings and assessments to catch a problem before it starts, plus straightforward education on foot care, injury prevention and choosing footwear.
Specialised Services
We treat structural problems such as hammertoes, claw toes, overlapping toes and bunions, working to regain mobility and reduce the pain.
South Brisbane Podiatry Services
Sit down at the clinic, take the load off, and let our podiatrists look at your feet and ankles properly.
We diagnose and treat corns, calluses, verrucae, ingrown toenails, hammer toes, bunions and diabetic foot problems. If yours came from something less textbook, a yoga session gone wrong or a stubbed toe at the Arts Centre, that is still worth an appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions Podiatrist South Brisbane
How To Choose a Podiatrist In South Brisbane?
Consider qualifications, experience and expertise, the services the clinic offers, its location and its patient reviews. It is also worth checking availability, the cost of consultations and treatments, and the equipment they use.
If you can, visit in person. It is the quickest way to tell whether you will feel comfortable and confident with the people treating your feet.
Should I See A Podiatrist Or An Orthotist?
Both specialise in foot and ankle care. Podiatrists diagnose and treat foot and ankle conditions, while orthotists specialise in making custom orthotics and braces to support or correct a problem. Depending on what is going on, you may need both.
What Does A Podiatrist Do For Your Feet?
A podiatrist diagnoses and treats problems with your feet and lower limbs. Your feet take a lot of stress over a lifetime, and a foot problem left alone becomes chronic pain and limited mobility. Good podiatry care finds it early, treats it, and prevents the complications.
Can I Use NDIS Funding For Podiatry Services?
Yes, NDIS funding can be used for podiatry care in South Brisbane where the services are necessary to help you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life. Confirm with your NDIS plan manager that podiatry is covered under your plan.
What Is The Difference Between Podiatry And Physio?
Both treat conditions affecting the lower limbs. Podiatrists specialise in the feet and ankles, while physiotherapists cover a wider range of musculoskeletal problems including the legs, hips and lower back. Depending on your problem you may benefit from both, and at our South Brisbane clinic that is the same building.
Align HC also offers exercise physiology, which uses exercise to manage and prevent disease, distinct from physiotherapy’s focus on restoring movement after injury.
How Much Does Podiatry In South Brisbane Cost?
An initial podiatry consult is usually $156.55, and follow-up appointments are $135. For new patients your first appointment is free with eligible private health cover, or $99 without it. Costs vary with the treatment you need, so call us and we will tell you before you book.
Are Podiatry Costs Covered By Medicare?
Routine podiatry is generally not covered. Medicare may contribute through a GP-managed Chronic Disease Management plan, which covers a limited number of allied health visits a year. Routine foot care such as nail trimming or corn removal is not included. Ask your GP whether you qualify.
What Conditions Can Podiatrists Treat?
Heel pain, sports injuries, diabetic foot care, nail disorders, shin splints, calluses, leg pain, nail surgery, ingrown toenails, foot and ankle pain and postural problems, among others.
What Is Shockwave Therapy, And How Is It Used In Podiatry?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that sends high-energy sound waves into the sore tissue to stimulate healing and reduce pain in the foot and ankle. In podiatry it is often used for stubborn plantar fasciitis and other long-standing pain, and it gives you an option that avoids surgery.
