Home visit podiatrist in Terranora
Podiatry at home in Terranora 2486. Hilly and spread out, which is exactly where getting to a clinic is hardest and a home visit earns its keep.
The drive to Terranora
Terranora sits on the ridge above the Terranora Broadwater, with Duroby Creek running below it. The blocks are large and the driveways are steep, which is the whole argument for a home visit rather than a drive to a clinic.
Terranora is 11 km from our base in Tweed Heads, about 16 minutes each way — roughly 32 minutes in the car before we have seen anybody. That is a manageable run, so we do it on set days rather than one visit at a time.
If you are near Chambers Lookout, Duroby Creek or Tweed River, you are inside the area we visit.
On the same run
Terranora is grouped with Banora Point, Bilambil Heights and Chinderah, so those visits sit on the same day. If someone else near you needs a visit as well, mention it when you ring and we will put you together on the one run.
What a visit in Terranora covers
A full assessment comes first: pulses and circulation, sensation and nerve function, skin and nail condition, and how the foot is loading when you walk. Then the treatment — thickened nails reduced, corns and hard skin removed, pressure points relieved — and a look at your footwear if it is working against you. All of it in the comfort of your own home, with everything needed brought along.
Paying for it
$170 for a first visit to Terranora and $150 after that, with no call-out charge on top — Terranora is inside the area we cover. A Home Care Package, a DVA card, an NDIS plan or private health extras all change what you actually pay. Every price is set out on the fees page.
