Importance of Regular Foot Health

General foot care, including proper nail cutting, ingrown nail management, and callous and corn removal, is essential for maintaining overall foot health and comfort. Neglecting these aspects can lead to various problems.

Regular nail trimming helps prevent ingrown nails, which can be painful and prone to infection. Addressing ingrown nails promptly is crucial to avoid complications. Additionally, callouses and corns, if left untreated, can cause discomfort and pain while walking.

Overall, paying attention to these aspects of foot care ensures mobility, comfort, and prevents more severe foot problems in the long run.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is podiatry and how can it help me?

Podiatry is a branch of medicine that specialises in the treatment of foot and lower limb conditions. Podiatrists are experts in diagnosing and treating conditions such as plantar fasciitis, heel pain, bunions and ingrown toenails. They can also provide advice on footwear, orthotics and foot care to help you maintain healthy feet.
Do I need a referral to see a podiatrist?

No, you do not need a referral to see a podiatrist. You can make an appointment directly with a podiatry clinic. However, if you have a chronic medical condition such as diabetes, we recommend you advise your GP as they could provide you a Health Care Plan through Medicare.
What should I expect during my first visit to a podiatrist?

We will ask you about your medical history and any symptoms you are experiencing. Based on this information, we will develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. This may include exercises, stretches, shockwave therapy and orthotic therapy.
