Whether your feet are feeling tired and sore or you have a specific problem, which you would like advice on, chiropody can help your feet to feel good and stay healthy.

We believe that the key to the best long-term foot care is in the
examination prior to any treatment. Spending the time to find out why we
have a particular problem means that we can treat the cause and not just
the symptoms.

This is why at your first consultation you will receive a thorough
examination of your feet, which includes an assessment of the circulation
to the area, the condition of the skin, the size, type and nature of any
lesions or deformities. We will also assess how the joints within your
feet move and examine you whilst sitting, standing and during walking.

More importantly from this we are able to establish a routine foot care
plan, tailored to you, that will keep your feet at their peak

Corns, hard skin and ingrown toenails can be very painful, especially as
our feet work so hard every day. Chiropodists can treat these and other
conditions, as well as giving advice on preventing future problems.

Podiatry is the speciality concerned with the diagnosis and or medical, surgical, mechanical, physical or other treatment of the diseases, injuries and defects of the human foot.

A Podiatrist is a medical specialist trained in the treatment of the lower limb. The greatest difference between a traditional chiropodist and modern day podiatrist is the fact that the entire lower limb (from hip down) is treated by a podiatrist whilst the scope of practice of a chiropodist is concerned with the foot only. Podiatry includes a wide field called 'podiatric biomechanics', this is concerned with the alignment of the bones and joints in the foot and their function in locomotion, either walking or running.

What is Podiatric Biomechanics? It is the area of human biomechanics that deals essentially with the structure and function of the feet as they relate to the hips, legs and spine.

Anyone who is experiencing recurrent or severe foot discomfort and pain whilst walking, playing sports or during their normal activities may benefit from podiatry. Treatment of these type of problems is with a device called a biomechanical orthotic.

What is an Orthotic? It is a carefully constructed device that fits into your shoe and improves foot function by control of joint realignment and weight distribution in walking or sports activities. These devices are not arch supports; they work specifically to eliminate the causes of your symptoms, so that your feet may operate normally and efficiently.

Its amazing how many people believe that aching or painful feet are a normal part of life and it is only once that symptoms have improved with wearing foot orthoses that they realise how much discomfort they were in!
