Saltdean Podiatry Clinic understands the importance of Routine foot care
Every day your feet carry the burden of your weight, and every day there is stress being put on your feet. As days pass by, your feet may show signs of common problems which might cause some discomfort. Leaving these problems untreated can result in serious complications affecting a person’s overall quality of life. This is why it is important to seek professional help beforehand. With our Routine Care services, you can ensure that the condition of your feet stays at its best and you remain pain-free.
Routine Care Service: What is Included
We provide care for a range of common foot problems that include:
- Corn Treatment: Corns are visible lumps on the skin, some of which resemble blisters. They can be painful, especially when walking. We can treat the corn and also provide advice on how to prevent them from occurring in the future.
- Callus Treatment: Calluses develop in areas where the skin experiences prolonged friction or pressure, such as the toes, the ankle, or toes. While calluses are not particularly painful, they can be bothersome if neglected for some time. The podiatrist takes care of the overly hardened skin for your comfort and softens the skin on your feet.
- Nail Care Treatment: Thick, brittle, or deformed nails may occur due to fungal infections, trauma, and other illnesses. We provide care for your nails by trimming, thinning, and fixing them before the leading edges become too painful, abnormal, or complex for you to deal with.
