In accordance with Australian regulations, specific treatment details will be discussed during your consultation.

Most people are able to walk with a surgical shoe shortly after surgery, return to trainer style footwear within two to eight weeks, and resume normal activity levels by around three months. Your practitioner will advise based on your individual circumstances.
