Podiatry deals with painful foot conditions and mobility issues affecting the foot, its structures and the lower leg. Podiatrists (also known as chiropodists) are trained healthcare professionals who treat a wide range of foot problems, help with chronic foot pain, and manage complications related to conditions such as diabetes or arthritis.
Our podiatry service can help with thickened or difficult-to-cut nails, ingrown toenails, plantar fasciitis (heel pain), calluses and corns, verrucas, general foot pain, fungal nail infections, sports-related injuries and biomechanical assessment. We also provide foot care for people at higher risk of complications, particularly those with diabetes.
This service is for anyone experiencing foot-related pain or discomfort. We place particular emphasis on foot care for people with diabetes, who face a higher risk of complications.
For people with diabetes, good foot care is crucial to prevent serious complications from nerve damage, circulation problems and reduced immunity. These can lead to infections and ulcers, even from minor cuts or sores. Regular foot examinations, suitable footwear, good hygiene and timely treatment all help keep your feet healthy.
