Sometimes Medicine isn’t enough. While your GP can help with a lot of medical problems, a referral to an Allied Health Professional is sometimes required. Allied Health Practitioners work alongside and liaise with your Doctor to achieve the best outcome for your health and wellbeing. The Allied Health Practitioners working out of Sundale Medical are all independent practitioners and highly qualified and experienced to help you achieve wellness, pain relief, increased mobility or achieve specific health goals. Your doctor can provide a referral to see one of the Allied Health practitioners so your visit can be bulk billed, under a care plan (If you have a chronic condition) or you can choose to see the practitioner privately. Practitioners currently offering their services at Sundale Medical:
Podiatrist: The podiatrist offers a complete service of foot and nail care. From ingrown toenails, foot pain, nail infections, difficulty in tending to nail care, diabetes foot checks and many more services. Regular foot care can help keep you mobile and walking properly, thus preventing other body aches and pains.
Physiotherapist: Suffering from musculoskeletal pain? Injured, lack of mobility or range of movement? The physiotherapist helps you help yourself with a range of treatments, therapies, exercises, and massage to help you achieve your physical goals.
Dietitian: Even though we all think we know what we should be eating, how easy is it? Being overweight can have a detrimental affect on our lifestyle, medical and emotional and mental health. What we eat can also impact greatly on certain medical conditions, e.g. Diabetes, Coeliac Disease, Mental Health disorders, or you may suffer from bloating, abdominal discomfort or irregular bowel habits. The dietitian can help you with all of this and many more dietary / nutritional issues.
