Routine Podiatry Appointment
A routine podiatry appointment is designed to maintain and improve the health of your feet through professional care and early intervention. Our experienced podiatrists provide thorough assessments and treatments tailored to your individual needs, ensuring your feet stay healthy, comfortable, and pain-free.
​
What to Expect During Your Appointment:
​
Nail Care
We carefully trim and file toenails to a healthy length and shape, helping to prevent issues such as nail trauma or ingrown nails. For patients with difficulty managing nail care due to age, mobility, or medical conditions, professional nail maintenance is essential.
​
Thickened or Damaged Nails
Thickened, discoloured, or damaged nails are gently reduced using specialized equipment. This not only improves comfort and appearance but can also prevent further issues, particularly for those with fungal infections or trauma-related changes.
​
Ingrown Toenails (Conservative Management)
If you're experiencing discomfort from an ingrown toenail, our podiatrists can provide conservative treatment, such as careful removal of the offending nail edge, reduction of inflammation, and advice on proper nail-cutting techniques. In most cases, this provides immediate relief and helps prevent recurrence.
​
Corns and Calluses
Corns and calluses develop due to pressure or friction on the feet. During your appointment, these are painlessly removed using sterile instruments, helping to relieve discomfort and reduce the risk of skin breakdown or infection.
​
Fungal Infections
Whether affecting the skin (such as athlete’s foot) or the nails, fungal infections are common and can be persistent without appropriate care. We assess the extent of the infection and provide tailored management options, including topical treatments, education on prevention, and referral for further testing or advanced therapies if needed.
​
Ongoing Foot Health
Routine podiatry care is an important part of maintaining overall health, especially for those with diabetes, circulation problems, or reduced mobility. At each appointment, we also assess the general condition of your feet, identify any early signs of potential problems, and provide expert advice on footwear, hygiene, and foot care.
