Treatments

  • Nail cutting: diseased or misshapen toenails may be difficult to cut.

  • Reduction of corns and callus: corns and callus can cause considerable pain and restricted mobility.

  • Biomechanical assessment/orthotic management: this may involve simple devices to reduce pressure and redistribute weight from tender areas, or more sophisticated devices known as "orthotics" which realign any abnormal mechanics of the lower limb

  • Treatment of verrucae: a particular problem for children, which can be treated with acids.

  • Minor surgery: total or partial removal of a painful toenail under local anaesthetic.

  • Footwear advice: advice on suitable styles to reduce the risk of problems.

  • Foot health advice: most of us are born without foot problems, therefore advice on good foot care is important for healthy feet.

  • Remember: prevention is better than cure.
