Welcome to Blenheim Podiatry, Christchurch's newest podiatry practice located at 45 Merrin Street, Avonhead. As a trusted institution in the field of healthcare, we specialize in providing comprehensive podiatry care for the whole family, including specialized sports podiatry and biomechanical treatment.

If you're experiencing any issues with your feet and are unsure of what to do, our experienced team is here to help. We will thoroughly explain your condition and put you at ease, ensuring you receive the best possible care tailored to your individual needs. With a combined experience of nearly 40 years, our team is highly skilled in modern practices and stays up to date with the latest research.

At Blenheim Podiatry, we offer a wide range of treatments for foot and ankle disorders, including skin and nail conditions such as blisters, corns, calluses, and ingrown toenails. Our conservative care approach aims to alleviate your discomfort, and if necessary, we can provide surgical resection. Additionally, we specialize in addressing the biomechanical causes of back pain, hip pain, knee pain, leg pain, ankle pain, and foot pain.

To further enhance your comfort and mobility, we prescribe corrective foot orthotics for both adults and children, ensuring a perfect fit for your sports or fashion shoes. We also provide advice on appropriate strength or stretching requirements, training programs, and specific footwear requirements for different activities, including running shoes, football boots, and casual shoes.
