Nail Care
Many patients experience difficulties trimming their own nails due to various reasons.
You may struggle to physically reach your feet or have limited visibility. A podiatrist can alleviate the inconvenience by professionally trimming your nails.
There are specialised tools available not only for trimming but also for thinning and smoothing the nails.
Corns And Callus
Corns and callus are the thick skin that can build up of the soles of your feet and toes and are a result of pressure.
A Podiatrist can remove and smooth the hard skin and give you advice on how to minimise the pressure.
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails are painful and can result from incorrect trimming, trauma, or nail shape. They can be especially painful if the surrounding skin is infected or inflamed.
A Podiatrist can usually treat an ingrown nail during a consultation. If it is painful, local anaesthetic may be recommended. For recurring cases, minor surgery to remove the nail edge or entire nail, along with phenolisation to prevent regrowth, may be suggested.
Diabetic Assessment
Diabetes increases the risk of foot complications due to circulation and nerve damage. These issues often start in the feet, making podiatry crucial for managing diabetes.
A podiatrist monitors blood flow and nerve supply, educates on foot care, and aims to prevent major health problems like ulcers and amputations.
Dry Needling
Myofascial release is effective for tight lower leg muscles like calf muscles, which can cause lower limb and foot problems. Releasing these muscles can reduce pain, improve length and function.
Myofascial trigger points are taut muscle bands or knots that refer pain to other areas when muscles are injured or tight. Acupuncture needles deactivate these points, helping to lengthen and relax the muscle.
Dry needling involves targeting specific areas of muscle tension or knots to alleviate pain and enhance functional performance. Fine sterile acupuncture needles stimulate tension release, enhance blood flow, and promote natural healing.
