Your feet support your entire body weight and are essential for daily activities such as walking, running, and standing. Poor foot health can impact posture, mobility, and overall wellbeing.

Podiatry services cover:

• Foot pain diagnosis and treatment
• Nail and skin conditions
• Biomechanical issues
• Diabetic foot care
• Sports-related injuries

Regular foot assessments can help detect issues early and prevent complications.

Foot and lower limb problems can present with a variety of symptoms. Patients may notice:

• Heel pain (especially in the morning)
• Foot or ankle pain during walking
• Swelling or inflammation
• Corns, calluses, or cracked heels
• Ingrown toenails
• Fungal nail infections
• Numbness or tingling in feet
• Changes in foot shape or structure

Ignoring these symptoms can lead to worsening conditions and reduced mobility.

• Heel Pain (Plantar Fasciitis) – Often worse in the morning
• Ingrown Toenails – Nail grows into surrounding skin
• Corns and Calluses – Thickened skin due to pressure
• Fungal Nail Infections – Discoloured and thickened nails
