Podiatrists (also known as Chiropodists) assess, diagnose and treat problems of the foot and ankle.  They work with patients of all ages, relieving pain and discomfort, and helping them to stay as mobile and independent as possible.  When you consider, the average adult walks the equivalent of four times around the earth in a lifetime, it is therefore vital to look after your feet as you would your eyes and teeth.

 

 

 

 

 

The human foot is a very complex piece of our anatomy and is also one of the most important in terms of our mobility and general sense of well-being.  A Podiatrist assesses and provides a treatment plan for a wide range of foot problems such as painful corns, problematic hard skin and cracked heels, fungal nail infections, athletes foot, veruccae, ingrowing toe nails and of course nail cutting.  More complex painful foot problems require an in-depth assessment to ascertain the cause of the problem and aiming the treatment plan at reducing painful symptoms and often curing them completely.

 

I have a keen interest in Diabetes and offer diabetic assessments to help wherever possible reduce the risk of ulceration and amputation by annually assessing the lower limbs for any changes in neurological sensation and vascular status.  This is a painless assessment taking approximately 20 minutes.orthotics plantar fasci-itis painful corns veruccae
