A range of foot conditions
Diabetics need to attend a chiropodist for advice and safe treatment. Arthritics gain huge relief from the treatment of misshapen toes and joints. I have always taken a keen interest in various skin conditions, from psoriasis and psoriatic nails to the spotting and diagnosis of skin cancers. Musculo-skeletal problems are common in the feet due to the extreme loading in sports and as a result of injury. This practice sees many foot injuries which may have had acute treatment that has not resolved the condition, and then requires skilled and appropriate measures to aid the chronic foot ailment to resolve.
Many people ask when telephoning if a chiropodist is the right kind of practitioner to attend with their foot complaint because they perhaps correctly imagine they may eventually need specialist hospital surgery or other extensive treatments. I would always say attend a chiropodist/podiatrist first as we will have the experience to guide you in your decision about treatment; we look at feet all day every day; it is what we do; it is what we are. I look forward to seeing you and seeing you go out smiling.
