When to see a Foot Health Practitioner
If you’re having routine nail or skin problems, noticing corns, thickened nails, cracked heels or mild discomfort, a Foot Health appointment is a great place to start. These appointments are ideal for prevention and simple, non-surgical interventions that keep your feet comfortable and reduce the risk of more serious problems.
Assessment & diagnosis
Your Foot Health Practitioner will take a detailed medical history, examine your feet and discuss any symptoms. The assessment focuses on skin and nail health, pressure areas and footwear. Where appropriate, they will advise on conservative treatments and recommend podiatry or medical referral if a more advanced clinical assessment is needed.
Treatment & care
Treatment may include expert nail care, debridement of hard skin and corns, simple dressings, advice on moisturising and home care, and the application of protective padding or orthopaedic tape where required. If your condition requires more specialised assessment or ongoing medical treatment, we will refer you to our podiatrist or another appropriate clinician.
Keeping your feet healthy
Regular foot health appointments help prevent common problems from becoming more serious. Our practitioner will also offer practical advice on footwear, daily foot care and lifestyle adjustments to maintain long-term foot health. Appointments available on Tuesdays.
