Orthotics provide pain relief and ongoing support to allow for realignment of the knees, hips and spine, thereby providing relief for a range of problems that are not just limited to your feet.

Ingrown toenails develop when the corner or side of your toenail grows into the soft flesh. You’ll know that you have an ingrown if you notice pain, redness, swelling and, sometimes, an infection in the affected toe. If you have any pain or signs of an ingrown, it is important to seek professional advice and treatment.

When repetitive pressures are placed on your foot, they can lead to an increase of more skin layers. Calluses and corns are an accumulation of skin that hardens and thickens, sometimes cracking and/or causing pain. Callus refers to diffuse, flattened area of thick skin, while a corn is a deeper, localized area that usual has a circular shape or bump.

If you are pre-diabetic or diagnosed diabetic, it is recommended to have your feet examined by one of our Chiropodists at least twice a year to assess and monitor any risks associated with Diabetes. If you are classified as high risk or have had ulceration or amputations in the past, then more regular assessments should be scheduled.

Common soft tissue surgical procedures include toenail procedures, plantar wart needling or excision, hammer/claw toe straightening by tendon release, cyst aspiration/excisions, foreign body removal and injection therapy.

As we age toenails become difficult to cut, callus builds up, or health conditions may require professional foot care to prevent pain or infection. Regular care for your feet is important to maintain your mobility and independence.

Warts can appear on various parts of the body and are particularly common on the feet in the form of plantar warts. Warts (verruca) are caused by Human Papilloma Virus and can spread to other areas of the body as well as other people.

Similar to warts, a nail fungus is often picked up at public gyms, showers and swimming pools, but can also occur if you don’t dry your feet off thoroughly, or wear ill-fitting shoes that don’t allow your feet to breathe. It starts with a small white/yellow discoloration of the nail, and if left untreated can spread to the other toenails. We offer prescription options as well as Toe FX treatment.
