We aim to treat, relieve and cure the following foot problems:

Toenail Abnormalities Such As Thickened Toenails

Changes in your toenails might indicate an underlying problem. Toenails that have thickened over time are most often the result of a fungal illness called onychomycosis. Thick toenails can become painful if left untreated. The key to treatment is to treat it as soon as possible.

Fungal Infections

Nail fungus can cause the nail to thicken, turning yellow, green, brown, or black in appearance. It's possible that an infected nail will split from the nail bed. Nail fungus appears as a white or yellow patch under the tip of your fingernail or toenail, and it is a frequent ailment.

Verrucas

A plantar wart or verruca is a kind of wart that develops on the bottom of the foot. Blood has clotted in microscopic blood vessels on the surface of your skin, resulting in a black spot in the centre of a verruca. When you walk on verrucas, you may experience pain.

Corns/Calluses

Corns have a prominent, typically hard core that is typically encircled by inflammatory skin. When pushed, corns can be unpleasant, although calluses are typically not. Calluses are generally bigger and have a variety of shapes, whereas corns are smaller, spherical, and well-defined.

Dry Skin & Cracked Heels

If your feet are continuously in closed shoes or socks, dead skin can build up due to a lack of moisture or friction from walking or jogging. It can also occur if you don't care for, exfoliate, or cleanse your foot on a regular basis. The dead skin on your foot's bottom may seem dry, cracked, loose, or dangling. When the skin around the rim of your heel gets dry and thick, and increasing pressure on the fat pad underneath the heel causes the skin to break, your heels might crack.

Bunions & Flat Feet

It happens when the bones at the front of your foot start to slide out of position. This pulls the tip of your big toe toward your smaller toes, causing the joint at the base of your big toe to protrude. The skin around the bunion may be inflamed and irritated. Injuries, obesity, and arthritis are among factors that contribute to flat feet. Flat feet can be caused by ageing, heredity, or pregnancy.

Smelly Feet And Athlete’s Foot

The medical problem of foot odour is fairly frequent. It’s caused by an accumulation of perspiration on the skin, which leads to bacteria development. Bad scents are caused by these microorganisms. Bromodosis can also be caused by fungal diseases such as athlete’s foot.

Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis) is a fungus that generally starts between the toes and spreads to the rest of the foot. People with sweaty feet who are restricted in tight-fitting shoes are more likely to develop this condition. A scaly rash, which causes itching, stinging, and burning, are some of the signs and symptoms of Athlete’s foot.

How Can A Podiatrist Help You?

Podiatrists may assist with all of the above, as well as:

Biomechanical foot problems are addressed by using orthotics. These are custom-made insoles that are worn inside shoes to alter the way we walk and move. They can also provide cushioning and arch supports if you have heel or arch problems. The gait of a patient can be studied to see how each foot touches the ground when walking.

Feet will be realigned to cure any biomechanical abnormalities, such as foot discomfort, joint discomfort, and even back discomfort, by utilising a properly manufactured orthotic or insert in shoes.

Benefits Of Podiatry

Even if your feet aren’t bothering you, it’s a good idea to consult a Podiatrist. A 30-60 minute visit with a Podiatry professional may remove any undesirable hard skin, inspect and trim toenails (which can get more difficult as you get older), and offer advice on proper footwear.

We can provide podiatry tips to protect your feet. Any issues discovered during a visit may usually be remedied on the spot. If everything appears to be in order, a frequent foot examination may be beneficial to confirm that everything is in order and to maximise their long-term health.

Feet are vital to living a mobile life. Taking care of them is an investment in the future of your health and quality of life.
