Healthy feet and regular podiatry care go hand-in-hand, or so to speak.
Our feet do a fantastic job carrying us through our lives yet we often neglect them. Paul explains in this blog why your feet deserve a bit of extra TLC and how he can help.
Your Amazing Feet
The human foot, comprising 26 bones, 33 joints and more than 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments, is a masterpiece of engineering!
Our feet are complex and intricate structures that enable us to walk, run, jump, climb and leap. They provide optimal balance and support on uneven and uncertain terrain to keep us upright. Their amazing design acts as a remarkable suspension system to absorb shock and impact to prevent injury to the rest of our body.
Podiatry Care for Healthy Feet
As a Podiatrist, it’s my job to help keep these amazing structures in working order. Whether this is just a simple toenail cut, removal of corns and callous, or more complex treatments like nail surgery under local anaesthetic and gait analysis, I can help you.
Why Foot Health Is Important
Feet are often overlooked when it comes to health, yet they are crucial to mobility and quality of life. Because of their complexity, they are susceptible to conditions that can cause pain and even disability if left untreated. Good foot health is especially important if you have Diabetes. This is because you are more susceptible to foot ulcers.
Regular check-ups with a Podiatrist can help identify and treat any foot problems, enabling you to keep mobile and pain-free.
