Total Foot Care

Foot Care Professionals

Professional Foot Care is the podiatry practice where advice/treatment is offered for a complete range of foot problems. Issues with the feet occur in all age groups and range from the minor, irritating problem to the completely disabling. Led by a vastly experienced foot care specialist, Foot Care offers a comprehensive service which can address all forms of foot disorders.

A consultation and routine treatment is offered at a modest price. More complex problems may require advanced forms of treatment which will naturally cost more than routine care. However, even these advanced treatments are offered at an affordable price.

Our podiatry care focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of medical conditions and injuries related to the feet, ankles, and lower extremities. Practitioners in this field are known as podiatrists or doctors of podiatric medicine (DPM). Our Podiatry practice encompasses a wide range of services and responsibilities, including the following:

1. **Assessment and Diagnosis:** Podiatrists conduct thorough assessments to diagnose a variety of conditions and issues, such as foot and ankle pain, structural abnormalities, skin and nail disorders, infections, and sports-related injuries. They may use diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays or MRI, to aid in their assessments.

2. **Treatment:** Our Podiatrists employ various treatment methods, which can include conservative approaches like orthotics (custom shoe inserts), physical therapy, medication, and wound care. In some cases, surgical interventions may be necessary to correct deformities, remove growths, or address severe injuries.

3. **Orthopedic Care:** Our podiatrists specialize in orthopedic podiatry, focusing on the musculoskeletal aspects of the feet and lower limbs. They are trained to assess and treat conditions related to posture, gait, and biomechanics. Custom orthotics are often prescribed to address alignment issues and provide support.

4. **Foot Surgery:** Our Podiatrists are qualified to perform various surgical procedures on the feet and ankles, ranging from minor procedures like ingrown toenail removal to more complex surgeries such as bunion correction and joint reconstruction.

5. **Wound Care:** Our Podiatrists play a crucial role in managing and treating wounds on the feet, especially in patients with diabetes or circulatory disorders. They are skilled in preventing, diagnosing, and treating foot ulcers to avoid complications such as amputation.

6. **Sports Medicine:** Our Podiatrists also specialize in sports podiatry, providing care for athletes dealing with foot and lower limb injuries. They offer rehabilitation, preventive strategies, and treatment to optimize athletes' performance and recovery.

7. **Preventive Care:** Our Podiatrists emphasize preventive care and education, encouraging patients to maintain proper foot hygiene and select appropriate footwear to reduce the risk of injuries or conditions.

8. **Geriatric Care:** Many elderly individuals experience foot problems, and podiatrists are instrumental in providing care to this demographic. They address age-related issues, such as arthritis, circulatory problems, and fall prevention.

9. **Collaboration:** Our Podiatrists often work in collaboration with other healthcare professionals, such as orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, and primary care physicians, to provide comprehensive care for patients with complex medical issues.

10. **Education and Awareness:** Our Podiatrists educate patients on foot health, emphasizing the importance of regular check-ups and early intervention to address foot conditions and prevent complications.

Podiatry practice is essential in maintaining overall health and mobility, as the feet and lower limbs are critical for daily activities. Whether it's managing chronic conditions or providing surgical solutions, podiatrists contribute significantly to their patients' well-being and quality of life.

All disorders of the feet are dealt with; treatments can range from routine care - nail care, callouses and corns, dry skin etc - to minor surgery such as correcting painful ingrowing toenails and obstinate verrucae and to consideration of surgical correction of foot deformities.

A full range of foot accessories are available such as moisturisers, anti-fungal preparations, protective devices for pressure areas of the foot and orthoses (devices which are worn in the shoes to correct disorders of balance or gait). Whatever the foot complaint, small or large, Foot Care Professionals can provide the required assistance.
