Dr Matthew Shanahan is a Podiatrist (General) based in Tuggerah, on the NSW Central Coast. He works from Block G unit 1, 2 Reliance Drive, Tuggerah NSW 2259. If you’ve got aches, sore spots, or changes in your feet or toenails, he’s there to help you sort out what’s going on and what to do next.
In day to day appointments, Dr Shanahan looks after people who want practical care for common foot issues. That can mean dealing with foot pain, getting a proper foot check, or making changes that help you walk and stand more comfortably. Sometimes the problem is not just where it hurts, either. Over time, small changes in how you move can lead to pressure points, callus areas, or ongoing discomfort.
His clinic care includes foot examinations, toenail trimming, and treatment for foot pain. He also fits orthotics, which are shaped to support how your feet work. For some people, the right orthotic can take pressure off sore areas and make a big difference to everyday comfort, whether it’s for work, school, or getting out and about.
Appointments are usually about getting clarity. A good look at your foot helps decide what’s needed, and then the plan can be kept simple and realistic. At times, that means adjusting footwear, focusing on comfort and support, or following through with treatment and monitoring. The aim is to help you feel better and keep your feet in good shape, not just cover up symptoms for a short time.
Dr Shanahan’s training and ongoing professional development follow current podiatry practice. The focus stays on safe, sensible care and clear advice you can actually use. He works with people of different ages and activity levels, including those who just want their feet checked properly and those who have been dealing with pain for a while.
There isn’t specific information listed here about publications, research work, or clinical trials. If you want to know about any study involvement, or if you’d like to ask how care plans are guided in his clinic, it’s best to bring those questions to your appointment and talk it through.
