Please note that I will be on holiday between 18th May - 28th May
Whatever you do you need your feet; whether it's walking from the kitchen to the living room, weekend football, or preparing for that sponsored climb up Kilimanjaro it's your feet that will get you there. If your feet hurt you can't wait for the journey to end.
A podiatrist (or chiropodist) is trained to prevent, diagnose and treat conditions associated with the foot and ankle.
The following are some of the conditions podiatrists treat:
Corns & Callus (thick skin)
Warts & Verrucaes
Ingrowing Toenails
Thickened Nails
Cracked Heels
Athlete’s Foot and Fungal Nail Infections
Conditions requiring arch supports and insoles
Foot & Ankle Injuries/Pain (heel pain/spurs)
Foot conditions associated with systemic diseases (diabetes, arthritis, neuropathy, circulatory problems).
Much of our work is aimed at prevention and education. If you are diabetic you should be having an annual diabetic foot check with your Doctor/Practice Nurse, although we will carry out a diabetic foot check automatically and provide you with necessary diabetic foot care advice.
Appointments are available every Tuesday and Friday between 8.00am and 6.00pm.
