Chiropody & Podiatry West Wickham
WHAT IS CHIROPODY?
Chiropody provides relief from ailments of the foot such as corns, verrucae, hard skin, ingrown toenails or toenails with fungal growth, skin disorders and infections. Our chiropodist/podiatrist is equipped to manage symptoms such as ulceration and poor wound healing caused by the diabetic foot. At the clinic we can provide Gait analysis which looks at the way a person walks. From this analysis, it can be established as to the potential cause of pain in the areas described above. Having discovered a gait problem, prescription orthotic device (insoles) can be provided, reducing or in some cases eliminating the pain being experienced by the patient.
Who Typically Benefits From Chiropody?
Chiropody is ideal for anyone experiencing foot pain, discomfort, or skin and nail problems. It’s commonly used for corns, calluses, verrucae, ingrown toenails, fungal infections, cracked heels, and diabetic foot complications. People with poor circulation, mobility issues, or painful walking patterns also benefit, as well as those needing orthotics to correct gait and reduce strain on the feet, ankles, knees, or back.
What Does Chiropody Involve?
During a chiropody session, the practitioner examines your feet and discusses any concerns or symptoms. Treatments may include carefully removing hard skin, corns, or verrucae, trimming and reshaping nails, and addressing any infections or ingrown nails. For gait or posture issues, a biomechanical assessment may be carried out, and custom orthotics can be prescribed if needed. Sessions are gentle, usually painless, and aim to relieve discomfort while improving foot health and mobility.
Benefits and Outcomes of Chiropody Treatment
The main goals of chiropody are to relieve foot pain, treat skin and nail problems, and improve overall foot health. It also aims to correct gait issues, prevent future complications, and support comfortable, healthy movement. Patients often experience reduced discomfort, improved mobility, and better long-term foot function.
