We treat and care for the most common foot conditions to relieve discomfort, restore walking comfort, and maintain the long-term health of your feet.
What is chiropody?
Chiropody is a podiatric treatment focused on the care and maintenance of foot health.
It helps treat hard skin, corns, skin and nail conditions, and other lesions that may cause pain or discomfort while walking.
Our goal is to relieve current discomfort, improve walking comfort, and help you maintain healthy feet through professional care tailored to your individual needs.
Conditions We Commonly Treat
Chiropody helps treat a variety of skin and nail conditions that may affect walking comfort or make daily foot care more difficult. These are some of the most common conditions we see in clinic:
CORNS AND CALLUSES
Areas of thickened skin caused by friction and pressure. They can cause discomfort or pain when walking and can be safely removed through professional chiropody treatment.
NAIL CARE
Professional nail care to help prevent discomfort, nail disorders, and infections, promoting healthy nails and overall foot health.
INGROWN TOENAILS
Occur when the nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain and inflammation. Treatment helps relieve discomfort and prevent complications.
THICKENED TOENAILS
Nails that become thicker than normal, making them difficult to trim and sometimes uncomfortable when wearing shoes. This may be related to age, repeated minor trauma, or certain nail conditions.
FUNGAL NAIL AND FOOT INFECTIONS
An infection that can cause nail discoloration, thickening, and deterioration. Professional assessment is important to determine the most appropriate treatment.
PLANTAR WARTS
Lesions caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), typically appearing on the sole of the foot and often causing pain while walking.
SOFT CORNS
Small areas of hardened skin caused by friction between the toes or from footwear. They often result in localized pain.
PREVENTION AND FOOT CARE
Regular check-ups help maintain foot health and allow potential problems to be detected at an early stage.
