Good foot health is something we know is very important and at The Complementary Health Centre we have a long established podiatry clinic.

Healthy feet are especially important for people with other health problems such as diabetes, poor circulation or rheumatism. These problems can make self-treatment, even cutting your own nails, difficult. You do not need a doctor’s referral to see a podiatrist.

Most people have foot problems at some time in their lives, and many of these can be helpedby chiropody / podiatry treatment.

Common foot problems include:

• hard skin, corns, cracked heels and calluses
• painful and in-growing nails
• Skin problems and fungal infections, e.g. athlete’s foot
• heel and foot pains
• verrucae
• walking problems (gait) and sport injuries (relating to the lower limb)

Normal appointments last about 30 minutes.

Special treatments such as nail surgery may need longer.

Treatments  include:

*nail cutting

*hard skin reduction (debridement) and temporary padding.

*a range of treatments for verrucae and common nail disorders

*footcare advice: shoes and skincare

*supplying and modifying various items, such as toe separators

Other services:

* diabetic foot assessment

*nail surgery

*simple or modified insoles
