Services Offered

Nelson treats a variety of foot and lower limb conditions. However, he has particular interest and expertise in several key areas:

• Sports and Musculoskeletal Injuries
  With a strong background in sports podiatry, Nelson is skilled at treating injuries linked to running, training, and athletic performance. He has worked with professional AFL and NRL teams, including the Gold Coast Suns and Gold Coast Titans. This experience has given him a deep understanding of sports-related injuries and effective rehabilitation strategies.

• Heel Pain and Chronic Conditions
  Nelson is especially focused on treating heel pain, such as plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinopathy. These conditions can greatly affect daily life, but Nelson provides clear, step-by-step treatment plans aimed at restoring comfort and mobility.

• Advanced Therapies
  He uses a range of modern techniques, including Shockwave Therapy, foot mobilisation, and dry needling. These approaches often form part of a broader strategy designed to reduce pain and improve function.

• Prescribing Medications
  Nelson is currently completing his endorsement to prescribe scheduled medicines. This will soon allow him to offer additional treatments such as cortisone injections, ensuring faster and more efficient care for his patients.
