Podiatry, (or chiropody, as it is also known), involves treatment and advice for all painful foot conditions, which commonly include:
corns callus structural abnormalities
verrucae nail problems infections.
Treatment is normally painless and the relief usually immediate.
Foot problems frequently result from ill-fitting or fashion footwear and can often be improved with podiatry treatment and footwear advice.
Many foot problems are the result of structural abnormalities and / or muscle imbalances and the use of individually tailored insoles, specially prescribed by a podiatrist, can help in overcoming these symptoms.
Systemic conditions such as diabetes mellitus or arthritis require careful foot health management, in which podiatrists are specially trained.
